Gardners take action!

R14 have been listening to Ken Ring's weather predictions, because he is a very accurate weather man, and he has predicted that we will have a drought this summer.

So the R14 gardners have discussed this with their whanau and decided to re-use water from their washing machines and their bath water, when they wash their dishes .

They are going to find out about mulching and how and why to use it.

Farewell Shay!

Hi Shay.

We already miss you and hope you have had a good flight!

We haven't got used to not having you around, but you will always be with us in our hearts. We miss your smile and your laugh, and your pretty curly hair!

We hope you pick up the language super fast and enjoy your new school, and make lots of new friends.

Come and visit us in the holidays.

Waikaremoana

Sian brought her great grandfather's painting titled 'Waikaremoana' into school today for us to enjoy.
She thinks it is painted in the Impressionist style because there is not very much detail, but it gives the impression of a small waterfall with trees by the side. At home, Sian has three of his other paintings, one of them is of the ocean, another is of a lake and her favourite one is of a lighthouse with a very calm ocean with reflections in the water.

'Ode to Joy'

Room 14 has been learning to play 'Ode to Joy' on the keyboard. This is what we played along to...with a lot of laughs!

Kids for Kids fantastic night!

Eleanor, Sophie, Arabella, Shay, Kelsey, Sian and Zyra had a spectacular time last night singing in the Kids for Kids concert at the Pukekohe Town Hall.
We were so proud of them as they captured the audience's attention and lit up the hall with excitment and spectacularly super sweet singing!
Tia, another Waiuku student performed 'Over the rainbow' like a professional.
It was so much fun for both the children and the audience.
