Yoga in Wonderland!

Our Year 1 and 2 classes participate in Physical Education lessons together.  Today we visited Alice's Wonderland through Yoga.  

We developed our concentration and listening skills.  We followed complex instructions to manipulate our limbs into yoga positions thus enhancing our kinesthetic body awareness.  We stretched and laughed our way through our PE session.........we even finished the session with some mindful breathing and relaxation.  An excellent way to end our first day back for Term 2.

See if you can see our cat and mouse poses!

Mini-camp FUN!

Our Year 4, 5 and 6 students went to Shakespeare Lodge for a four day camping trip...........not to be outdone, our Year 1, 2 and 3's all decided to have a mini-camp here at school.  

Tents, pancakes, egg toss, egg and spoon races and an egg hunt topped off a fun-filled day.

Have a look at our day!

Hot cross buns, hot cross buns......one a penny........two a penny......hot cross buns!

Our budding Year 1, 2 and 3 chefs were master bakers today!  

Hot cross buns were the order of the day and the finished product was delicious!  

We learned to follow a recipe, to measure quantities and then we attempted to write some simple instructions outlining our method.

Have a look at the fun we had!

Picnic Time for Teddy Bears.................and Karearea!

Friday saw an invasion of cuteness in the Karearea class..........as a plethora of soft toys invaded our already cute classroom!

Students gave a double gold coin donation to support the Kiwis for Kiwi national conservation project, a charity selected by our School Council members.

Karearea class members came to school with their much loved soft toys and we all enjoyed meeting these new friends.

To top of this exciting day we had a whole school shared lunch  - picnic style with our teddy bears.

Have a look at the lovely day we had with our honorary soft Karearea classmates!
