Room 7 have been writing poems about Autumn and also doing leaf rubbings. Here is Asha's descriptive and colourful published work. To read and see more wonderful examples please visit Room 7.

The first day back at school was a little bit different for students this term.  They were treated to a very special surprise with the Remax hot air balloon paying a visit.

On Friday 28 February the Weka Team, Rooms 7, 8 and 13, visited East End Beach for a fantastic Beach Education day.  Take a look in the Gallery for more Beach Ed photos.

Some of the Pukeko &  Weka children competing in the flutter board race. Everyone enjoyed a fine morning at the Highlands Intermediate swimming pool competing in a variety of races. Children were able to share their talents and also show what they have been learning during school swimming lessons this term.

FSF Club is reborn for 2012!

Due to popular demand, we are continuing last year’s Fantasy and Science Fiction Club on Tuesday lunchtimes in Room 13 led by Mr Henson. The FSF Club is dedicated to all things fantastical for children. Members are encouraged to draw, write, or create original artworks, stories, and poems. A selection of these will appear in a mini-magazine that will be distributed around classes and published on the school's website..

The guiding principles of the FSF Club are:

• Encouraging original creative works with a fantasy or science fiction theme
• G or PG content
• Valuing children’s creative work that would not necessarily fit into class topics
• support children with an interest in fantasy and science fiction

Weka Team have been enjoying aquatic activities. We are getting ready for the Y3 - 6 swimming sports at Highlands Intermediate on Friday March 9th: 9.15am - 12pm.  To view more aquatic photos visit the gallery.
