Chosen Valley Camp

My brother Shohab went to Chosen Valley Camp in Term 1 this year. He did lots of activities but he really liked the trolleys best because it was great fun sliding down the hill. He said that the food was nice and one of the best things was tasting the dessert after dinner. When it rained they had to go to their cabins. It was important that he learnt how to make his bed properly and how to be clean, and not to be scared. I can't wait to go to Year 6 Camp.

Kete Mural

Wow! Students from D4, D5 and D6 worked so hard to design and create this fantastic mural. The book that they read called "The Woven Flax Kete" is in our school library if you would like to read it. Thanks Ms Botica for all your inspiration!!

Fairytale Day

Once upon a Friday we had to dress up as our fav fairytale character. We had tonnes of activites at the school and we called this "Royal Day Fairytale Day". We had so many elegant and freaky costumes like Faires, Trolls, Princesses, Princes, Pirates and many more dazzling costumes. If you wanted to make your day into a story and not just play on the playground you could write a fairytale story, guess Cindy's shoe size, guess how long Rapunzel's plait was, listen to stories, make crowns and test how well you knew fairytale characters. It was a great day to be in a fairytale and I hope your wishes came true!Shivaansh C6

ELF Fundraising Shop

In an interview with Mrs Clark, I asked some questions. Here are her answers . Mrs Clark said we have a fundraising shop to raise money to buy books for the library. She told me that some students thought up this idea 3 years ago. So we are lucky to have fundraising shop. She also said that the shop sells toys, books, jewellery and cards. The students enjoy running the shop and our school gets extra money for books for the school library.

Travelwise

Max the Pukeko visited our school to promote Travelwise by Auckland Transport. This programme is to encourage students to walk, bike, bus, train and carpool to school. So we went and interviewed Max. We first asked him why he was a pukeko? He was born like a pukeko. Second we asked how he gets to school and he said he liked walking. Next we asked how we should walk to school and he told us to walk or join the walking school bus. He also said it's safe to walk to school with the walking school bus. So try it today - the times are Thursdays at 8:10 am at the corner of Kimpton and Cornwall Rd.

The NZ transport agencey has Published a new book called "Sione's First Walk to School". It was created by the kids from Fruitvale Primary School. Come to the library and see the book later.
