Hi To Everyone For Week 3!!

We have just come back from camp which was a totally fantastic experience. So this week with Ms Bouzaid we all wrote thank you letters to Mrs Parker for giving up her time to take us camp to Totaranui last week. 

This week, there a large number students in the school have been making final preparations for stage challenge. This years topic is Home Grown. Good luck to our fabulous stage challenge team that are performing on Friday night at the Trafalgar Centre, hopefully we are going to win!. 

On Monday we will have a new member to room 5.  Her name is Nikita and she likes dancing and sport, which is going to be cool as a lot of us in the class also enjoy these activities.

What Wonderful Letters!

What a fantastic surprise I got on Wednesday when returning to work.  Every single person from room 5 had written thankyou letters for all the organisation which took place in order to get them off to camp. It quite literally brought tears to my eyes!!

Here are examples of just 3 of them....

Bye Lizzie

Hey there Lizzie. The class are really gutted that they didn't get a chance to say goodbye to you.  We all wish you the best.  It's great that you've been watching our progress since you left....Do you have Skype?? Maybe we can Skype your class???

Take it easy

Back To School Again !

Well, we are all back, safe and sound.  I will get the kids to write up some new blogs about camp over the next week or so and get their thoughts on how the week went.  For me, well...apart from the lack of sleep on some nights it was great fun. Lots and lots of giggles each day and some absolutley CLASSIC one liners!!

Will just relay one conversation.......

On Wednesday night, the girls went out camping with myself and Debbie.  We had had a birthday party that evening for Kim as he turned 40 while we were away.  The kids all had streamers/horns etc and were pretty wild......Around 11p.m. Jodie was getting pretty fed up with the boys talking in their dorm.....

"Boys, keep it down, I am fed up now.  Any more noise and you will have to take your mattress off your bed and lay it outside my bedroom and sleep there for the night!"

Horn then gets blown by Keegan

"And any more horn blowing and you will also bring your mattress outside my bedroom!'

At this point, Dillon sits up on his bed and hands over his horn......

"Here, you'd better take this, I just can't help myself"

Oh me Oh my.....

CAMP IS NEARLY HERE!!!!

Term 2 has started already and Room 5 are very excited because on the 4th of May we are all going to Totarnui for our class camp for one week. We had to bring food donations to school which were cans of fruit and biscuits or home baking.

Some of the things we are doing on camp are long walks to Separation point, swimming and lots of activities like technology challenge, kayaking and lots more! The girls and the boys are going to camp out in a tent for one night each and will be cooking our own tea over the campfire. So basically we have to be responsible and do everything ourselves for one night.
