Welcome to Kian

A big welcome to Kian who turned 5 today!

Kian (pronounced Kee-in).

Wairakei School has some new musical instruments and Room 12 were the first students to use them yesterday!  Lucky us!

What a fabulous day today for our Book Character Mufti Day.....can you recognise these book characters?  I'm so sorry Toby!  I'm not sure how I missed your photo, oh no!  Our lovely Toby dressed up as a character from the Cars movie/book....in a fancy Cars shirt all the way from America from his Aunty Stella.

Here are three examples of writing from today's writing time!

Ruby T wrote "I am Pocahontas.  I wear a brown dress and a blue ribbon and a jersey".
Yes today it was cold, so Pocahontas was in fact wearing a jersey.  he he
Ruby also had another sentence over the page saying "She lives in India".

Ava-Lea wrote "I am a bee.  I am from Bumble.  I am in a beehive".

Makylah wrote "I am a princess".  I thought this was pretty good for a girl who
has only been at school for 2 weeks!  Don't you?

We have another MUFTI day next Friday....just a normal clothes one (as we're swimming too...please no fairy wings etc).  This time, instead of a gold coin, Otakaro children need to bring a grocery item e.g. can of tomatoes, box of cereal, bag of rice, jar of coffee etc.  All of this gets compiled into a grocery raffle hamper - I love winning grocery hampers!  No one has sold me a ticket yet.
