Ruru Christmas Decorations

After lunch today some Mums came into Ruru and helped us make some Ruru Christmas Decorations.

They will adorn our Christmas Tree (thank you Redman family for your donation) until Friday - then we will take them home and put on our Christmas trees at home year after year after year to remember our fun times and good friends that we made in Ruma Ruru in 2012.

Thanks to Melissa's Mum, Lachlan's Mum, Tyler's Mum and Lucy's Mum for helping out. Do you know why I put an apostrophe before the s when I wrote the children's names???

Here is the slideshow!

Zoo Trip Sneak Peak...

Today we went to the Hamilton Zoo - wow, what an amazing day.

Here are a few sneak peaks from Lachlan's Mum. We will make a video of all the photos tomorrow.

Enjoy...

Baking Christmas Goodies

Today we made LOTS of Xmas Goodies with our buddy class - Ruma Korimako.


We had different stations that we moved around making sugar and spice cookies, chocolate and raisin balls and lolly balls. We also had an art and craft station where we made cards and decorations for the tree.

We had so much fun and had so many xmas goodies to share with teachers and Mums and Dads!

We also found out that Miss Collins loves glitter - thanks for a fun day Ruma Korimako and to the Mums who helped us.

Athletics Day in the Juniors

On Friday on a day not too hot, nor too cold the Juniors held their Athletics Day.

We started with some running races and then held some tabloid events that the senior children helped us with.

Then we had a shared lunch and handed out some certificates.

It was a great day!

Let the good times roll...

On Thursday Hannah's Dad took a photo of Hannah and Ms Copping together.

Here are the two photos he sent through... the first one...

And then he sent this one through ... this will be an app that Ms Copping will waste many hours on and can't wait to get snapping and juggling! Thank you Hannah's Dad! We love learning about funky apps.

Face Juggler!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sharing our learning about the World

For news over the next two weeks we are sharing what we know about another country with each other...

This has been so exciting. We are learning about what other countries there are... where they are... what countries are next to them... and something that makes them special or unique.

Lachlan has told us about France and a very important cycle race they have there.

Melissa told us her Nana went to Switzerland and gave her a bell like the ones cows wear. She told us why the cattle wore bells in the mountains.

Ashlleigh told us about Austria and that she is 1/4 Austrian.

Summer told us about Spain and their colorful fans.

We are collecting all our news on our world map display.

We love learning about Earth!

We have been amazed to see that some countries have no water around them!

We have also been amazed that Switzerland, France, Spain and Austria are near big footed ITALY!
