We hope you have a fantastic birthday! 

We look forward to hearing all about it in 2016!

Dear Spring... Part 3

Dear Spring

Hi Spring, where have you gone? Because it is raining here and it’s very cold. But I want you to know I love you flowers and I especially like the blossoms. Hopefully you come quite soon because I love the very warm sun.

William M

Dear Spring

I hope you bring sun today instead of rain. Cameron is taking me to the gardens. Thanks for the beautiful flowers like daffodils, roses, and apple trees.

Dear Spring

The flowers are amazing when you come in Spring, especially the daffodils. When you come there are calves and lambs, also piglets too. I think to myself, how amazing you are. I love you, I don’t want you to leave.

Dear Spring

I’ve been waiting for you, where have you been dude? Are you going to be warm in November? When is it going to be warm?

From Nate

Dear Spring

I always wonder what it would be like in spring. I thought it would be sunny or hot but it is cold and freezing today. In Spring I see wind blowing trees, and I can’t wait until it is hot. Thank you for the flowers blooming, swooping back and forwards. That is how I remember Spring.

Love from,

Marissa

Dear Spring

Why, sometimes, are you cold? We thank you for our baby animals and pets. I wonder what it would be like is Spring if it was always hot. We always love you Spring, no matter what we say. I love the flowers that you give us like daffodils, snowdrops, blossoms, tulips. These are some of the reasons we love you for.

From Violet

Congratulations!

At last the big day had arrived. We all felt excited and a little bit nervous as we gathered together.
We went out and supported the senior children as they ran their course. We could recognise the strategies different runners were using to reach their goals.
Before long it was time to go over to English Park ourselves. Many Room 17 children have brothers or sisters in Year One so we cheered them on before taking our places in the stands.

Finally it was time for the Year Three girls to run. The girls ran with focus and perseverance. It was a lovely day and so many people came to support us and cheer us on. All the place getters in the girls' race were from Room 18. We felt proud of them and ourselves for our hard running.

The Year Three boys were the last to run. It was a fast and furious race with runners showing determination and grit to finish. We felt particularly proud of Max M and William M who received medals.

After all that excitement and effort we were certainly ready for our lunches. Now cross country is over for 2015. We need to reflect on our race goals and plans and decide how these will need to change and develop for 2016. 

Tau ke Room 17 - we are proud of ourselves!

Massage Circle

What a lovely way to finish our swimming session today. Jonty, Marissa, Harvey and William M organised a massage circle for us. They got the instructions from a story they read.

What did you like the best? Perhaps it was the thunder and lightning or maybe the hugs at the end.
