See you soon... from Mr Dog

Hello Ruma Ruru

I am having a wonderful time on holiday with Jonte. We went to the beach and I saw Jonte looking really handsome for a wedding!

We then came back to Cambridge for a bit and then we went to another beach! I can't wait to tell you all about Waiheke and Whitianga.

What have you been doing?

Love from Mr Dog.

Happy Holidays

We all wish you a happy safe holiday and look forward to hearing about all your adventures with family and friends.

Ms Copping's laptop has crashed and is away being repaired so it is a bit trickier to blog than usual.

We have had  a great learning term and are looking forward to inquiring into the Science in our backyard next term.

Take care and see you real soon - hopefully we are 'connected' with the world around the middle of the second week - so send in your photos and stories to share on our blog.

Love from Ruma Ruru and their number one fan, Ms Copping.

Proud Tears for Ashleigh

On Tuesday night a group of Cambridge students were recognised for their perseverance and achievement in literacy from Altrusa.

These students were nominated within school - at Goodwood we had two students selected and one of them was a RURU!

Well done Ashleigh - you gave your parents and teacher proud tears! You work so hard and can be very proud of your achievements in reading.

Along with her certificate Ashleigh received a book voucher from Wright's Bookshop.

Poetry from Lily

Here is a poem that Lily wrote at home... she has used some ideas from another poem and added HEAPS of her own. She has painted a great picture in our minds and thought carefully about the words so that she keeps the rhythm and flow of the poem.

Lily - you are an amazing poet!
