Christmas Concert

Yesterday was the Year 1 and 2 Christmas Concert. We all dressed up in Christmas colours and decorations, everyone looked fantastic! We were a little nervous about singing in front of so many people, but we did a wonderful job and had a great time. Artemisia sang the first verse of Away in a Manger all by herself, she was amazing!

Avalon Park

Last Thursday we visited Avalon Park. We had a fantastic day exploring the park and playing on the playground.

The Parachute

Today at school we had loads of fun playing with the parachute on the field. The best part was running underneath it and bouncing the balls on top of it.

Winter Wonderland

Yesterday we visited Winter Wonderland at Capital E. When we arrived we met Elf Natalie who showed us to the special wishing tree where we posted our Christmas wishes. Then we met Santa and Santa's elf Cinnamon. After we had told Santa what we wanted for Christmas (hope he remembers all the orders!) we made cute felt mice to hang on the Christmas tree. Then we played a fun game in the gingerbread house and practiced our climbing on the Wonderland climbing wall. Winter Wonderland was such a magical place, we loved it!

Zebong the Storyteller

Zebong the Storyteller visited us at school today and told us a magical fairytale about a King and Queen in a land far away. Miss Ingram, Blaine and Ben even had a turn at acting! It was a fantastic story and we all really enjoyed it.

The Rainbow Fish

Last week in letterland we were learning all about the letter F. On Thursday we read The Rainbow Fish and made our very own beautiful Rainbow Fish.

Athletics Day

Here are some actions shots from Athletics Day. We all tried our very best and had a fantastic time!

Powhiri for Pania and Room 16

Today at school there was a special powhiri to welcome Pania and Room 16 to Muritai School. At 10 o'clock we met Pania, her family and friends from Te Puna Kohanga Reo at the school gate. Then we were welcomed across the playground and into the hall by members of the Kapa Haka group. In the hall there were lots of songs, speeches and even a haka!

Milo Cricket

On Thursday Raj and Charlie from Milo Cricket came to our school. They taught us lots of new cricket skills. We had so much fun and even got a goody bag at the end of the lesson!
