Rocket Park Cultural Festival
It has been a long time between posts and we apologise for that, but it has been pretty hectic around here! Last Saturday was the Eden/Albert Cultural Festival at Rocket Park. Our groups have worked incredibly hard on their performances this term, and it all paid off on Saturday. Every student who participated should be proud of their efforts - you all represented yourselves, your whanau and your school with pride. Ka mau te wehi koutou!

Camp!
Our Year 5-6 camp at Chosen Valley was awesome! Thank you very much to the parents for their support, and Ms Green for organising such a successful week. It was wonderful to see everyone challenging themselves and having a great time. We are sure everyone slept well on the weekend!

Books we're reading
Room 23 are reading two novels at the moment - Trash by Andy Mulligan, which we are reading as a shared book, and The Astounding Broccoli Boy by Frank Cottrell Boyce, which Mr Bennett is reading to the class. Although we haven't finished either of them, we'd already recommend them to other readers!
Term 4
Welcome to Term 4 koutou!
Room 23 have got a big term coming up - Year 6's have got graduation practice, Year 5's are film making, and our school camp to Chosen Valley is next week!
Lots to look forward to, but we need to make sure that in amongst all the excitement, we're not losing sight of our key values:

Aranui Rest Home visit
We made our second visit to the lovely people at Aranui Rest Home on Tuesday, and had a great time. It was fantastic to see some familiar faces again, and once again our students represented themselves, their families and our school with pride. They were all respectful and positive around their Aranui friends. Before we left, we sang our school waiata and Ms Kirk sang two beautiful songs - Pokarekare Ana and Ave Maria. We think the people of Aranui enjoyed themselves!

Indoor Olympics
While the Year 6's were away at Wesley Intermediate, the Year 5's decided to create the first ever Classroom Olympics! We came up with sporting events which could all take place inside a classroom, which was fun! This is our version of the awesome BBC 2016 Olympics trailer. Enjoy!
