Another term passes on Bolton Street.
What a term is has been and we have certainly been learning
loads. We have looked at plants and growth and part of this we took the whole
school to the Botanical Garden which is always a great learning trip. Another learning
area was a unit based on Kai and learning the Te reo words for the food we eat.
As part of the learning we had our Maori and Pacifika group come and prepare
and feed the whole school Umu and Hangi. What an amazing learning day this was
with many of our children never experiencing this before. Thanks to the many
parents that help out in somnay ways to get this off the ground or in the
ground so to speak!
The food was fantastic and we just love that pulusami!
We have also held our annual pet morning where we had a
range of live stock, none of which ate any children or escaped which was a real
bonus! We had a special liturgy for the pets and St Francis the patron saint of
animals helped out on the day!
Next term see the school production being held up at Block
house Bay school., We love the support we get form BHB primary and using their
arts centre is certainly something special for us.
We look forward to the build up to Advent here at school and
unpacking this very special season with our children.
