Winter Tournament

What a fantastic day we had today at the Year 5/6 Winter Tournament. All of the students participated in football, rugby, netball or boccia. 
It was great to hear the students encouraging and supporting each other throughout the day 

Thank you to parents and grandparents who came out to support the teams and BIG congratulations to our Year 6 netball team who took out first place in their competition. Congratulations also goes to the social football team who won their competition 

Awesome effort everyone!

Book Week Parade and Kereru Book Day!

On Friday we had our annual Book Week Dress Up Parade.
The winner of best dress up (and it was a very difficult decision due to so many fab costumes) was Declan who came dressed as a box of matches!
Well done to everyone who put in an effort to dress up!
We also had our Kereru Book Day on Friday. Students came in their comfy clothes and set up reading nooks around the classroom. They shared their favourite book, read their scary stories and created book trailers for their book. 
S'mores and Milo were a special treat in the afternoon!
📗 Student Comments 📘
It was quite fun cause we got to do the things we normally do when it's a rainy day at home.

The book day was very fun. Their were some cool costumes at the parade. Mrs B's costume was one of the best teacher's costumes!
by Austin
All the costumes looked really cool and it was cool to see the different ideas that people came up with. Comfy day was also fun and so were the activities.

Well done Kereru Kids!
I was really happy that my dad gave me happy comments about my learning and what I was showing him.

I enjoyed showing my parents the maths challenge because they struggled with it and I had to show them how to work it out.
by Declan
It was fun showing my parents all my work but they got a bit confused with my maths.
