Congratulations

There are lots of people in Room 3 who show H.E.A.R.T. But special congratulations  go to Rangihana who won the year two H.E.A.R.T. award at yesterdays special assembly.




 Rangihana and the other winners.






Congratulations for showing so much H.E.A.R.T.

On the trees

They say it's starting to look a lot like Christmas at Wellington Airport. 














The reason it looks like Christmas is the Christmas trees that are decorated with the baubles that we and children from other Kids Can Schools decorated.


Whaea Deb saw them at the airport and said they look pretty stunning.

Can you see Akenese's bauble? 
Wow! Look at the beautiful trees.

Kids Can asked if a few children could each decorate a Christmas Bauble for a very special tree at Wellington Airport.
Whaea Lynda worked with some children from Rooms 1, 2 and 3.

Armistice Day







Every year one of the youngest children at school gets to help the oldest child lay a wreath for Armistice Day. This year it was Joe.

Can you see Joe? He is in the blue top, standing next to Xavier.




They did a great job of laying the wreath.




Tessellations


When Mrs Walker was in Room 3 and we copied puzzles and we made some fantastic tessellations.
