We could spring and land on two feet off the box.
We jumped on the trampoline and did half turns landing on both feet.

Jump to it Performance.


As part of the NZ Storylines Festival, Perform Ed came to our school to present their "Jump to It".  This production featured a selection of the finalist books from the NZ Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.  This show promotes literacy and reading.



The show was so much fun, and everybody had the greatest time.  It has shown the limitless possibilities offered by books and reading.

This Production has also dealt with specific personal development issues such as Self Esteem, Bullying, Anger Management and Co-operation.





The performers were highly interactive with the children with the funny and appealing characters, loads of comedy, irrisistable songs and high energy dancing.  What a great show!! 

Swimming lessons.

We have great instructors.  They have been showing as all the steps to become great swimmers.
 

 We had so much fun floating on the noodles.  Everybody did a great job!!





It is so important for all children to be able to swim.  By having the skills we can keep ourselves safe in the water, and could even save someone's life!!!We have been very lucky to have had this oppurtunity and we want to thank Manukau City Council for the free swimming lessons they have been giving us!!!

We are going to learn all about the circus.  Have you ever been to the circus?  Tell us all about your visit.  Please look for interesting bits about the circus as we are going to look how the circus developed through the years and what we like and don't like about circuses. 
 Are you ready for lots of fun?

Our 'red and black' mufti day.

We are so happy to be able to give something to help all those people who have been affected by the devestating earthquake in Christchurch.
