Fitzroy Kindy Visit

The Fitzroy Kindy Family were going on an outing and kindly invited us to use their special place while they were away. We took our Room Eight buddy class with us and walked down for an hour. We had a great time with our buddies playing with everything. Enjoy some of the photos of Fitzroy children playing with instruments,play dough, dress ups and blocks. We had fun outside too on the equipment. Thank you to the Kindy for inviting us! We didn't want to leave!

We had an exciting  and interesting visit by some of the armed defenders squad last week and they arrived by our own Taranaki Rescue Helicopter. We were able to ask questions and learn about their role in our communities. Check out the photo of us in front of the police van.

Our Vist Last Week

We have had a busy few weeks and look forward to sharing photos with you all soon. Our little people can all be very proud of their start to school and are already enthusiastic readers and writers. We are welcoming new children to our Fitzroy Family each week and our classsroom is growing quickly.
We have had six weeks of swimming lessons and all have mastered some new skills during the lessons.
We had a lovely day at Brooklands Zoo and Pukekura Park with all the Junior School last week on a warm and sunny day. We were fortunate to share the day with some Grandparents, Mums and Dads as our parent helpers. We thank them for coming and valued their support and assistance.
Photos will be posted on the site in the next few days. Enjoy the last few days of Day light saving .

Physical Education

We had our first lesson with our expert teacher from Kelly Sports on Friday to teach us the correct technique for running. We have to remember to use bent arms, look straight ahead and run on our toes. We will practise during this week before our next lesson.

Bayly from Room 10 brought an amazing birds nest to share with us on Friday.

Our Art Gallery Visit

We had an interesting visit to the Len Lye exibition yesterday. There were 13 excited children boarding the bus for our first adventure of the term.We even had seatbelts on the bus.
We were greeted by the Teacher for the session and she took us through all the artworks on display. At the end of our session we created dance moves inspired by the works we had seen. Even our wonderful parent helpers joined in the creative dancing.
We are looking forward to creating our own sculptures based on what we saw . So watch this space to see photos of our imaginative creations.

Welcome to Term Four and our new little people that started today. We are looking forward to a busy term. The summer weather is here and we are wearing our hats outside at all times to be sunsmart. We are off to a visit at the Art Gallery but have not received the dates as yet so keep checking our site for new updates.

Here is a recent photo of our wonderful class of new five year olds.

We have had a busy few days as usual. On Tuesday we were lucky enough to have expert cricketers to take us for small ball skills. We had Amie who is the New Zealand Womens Cricket Captain and Tim who is a Central Districts Cricketer. We had fun practising the skills.

Welcome Back

Welcome back to our Fitzroy Family of Room Two for our last term of the year. We were lucky to have Ashton and Kaylee start on their school journey today. We had a busy day and all of the class enjoyed sharing their holiday adventures. We are off to Puke Ariki on Thursday the 21st October at 9:15 to a session called 'Make it Work'. Watch this space for a report on our outing. We have a busy term ahead and time will fly.  Dont forget to check our Blog and hopefully we will manage to get some photos and examples of work to allow you all to celebrate and share in our successes.

Cross Country Training

We are right into our cross country training and are learning to warm up properly to prepare to run for long periods. Do you know some of us are able to do as many laps of the course as the seniors. We are looking forward to the big day on Thursday  to show how fit we are.

Fire Station Visit

We had a busy day on Thursday. In the afternoon we went on a big bus to the Firestation. The Fire Fighters showed us through the fire engines and the pole in the fire station. We all had a turn using the hose to hit a bucket off a big cone. You will be able to enjoy the pictures soon! We also watched a fire fighter go very high on the crane on top of the fire engine. They were impressed with our knowledge of fire safety. We were very tired at 3pm after our two trips in one day.

Girls High Visit

We went to Girls High last Thursday and worked in the Computer Lab. We worked on the computers and created pictures using Art Rage. We can be proud of ourselves  and the pictures we created.

Wetlands

Our trip to the wetlands was amazing. We even got to hear tuis singing. Room Two children will have to take you for a walk and show you sometime.
