Here are our Term Two birthday kids!

Happy Birthday to Declan, Jack, Sarah, Heidi, Amy, Isaac, Lydia, Isla.

Happy Birthday!

Kereru kids were lurking in dark corners ready to spring a big 'Happy Birthday!' on me when I unlocked the door and switched on the classroom lights this morning.

I received some fab gifts and LOTS of lovely cards.

I am very blessed to have such a wonderful class of amazing kids (and equally amazing parents!)

Thank you!

What a fantastic effort from all of our teams!
Also, a BIG thank you to the parents who helped out on the day.
