Beautiful baubles

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.

Whaea Angela thought they were so good she made ANOTHER collage so you could see them!

Ma'a Nonu came to Russell School

A big thank you to Matua Rob for asking Ma'a Nonu to come to Russell School and a BIG, BIG thank you to Ma'a for coming to school and the yummy sausages that he brought.
We loved doing the haka with you Ma'a.
