Digi Awards - We ROCK!

Last night a few families, very excited children and a few YMS teachers headed to the Aurora Centre to a find out what prize we may have won. We were all very excited and a little nervous. We weren't sure what to expect.

Well it was an amazing night.

Tayla - 1st Place in the Art Category (Year 1-3)

Aliz'e, Xavier, Thom and Richie  - 1st Place in the Movie Making Category (Year 1-3)

Kade - 1st Place in the Digital Sandpit Category (Year 1-3)

(entry to come!)

We also had wins in Rimu and Te Kakano, what a clever bunch we all are.

Each group received a prize for their hard work.

And at the end of the evening there was a special draw for a Chromebook and guess what?! The 4 boys won it and they have kindly donated it to the school. 

Here are some photos from the night:

A Special Visitor

On Friday we had a special visit from an old classmate, Tilly! She came in to see us with her new baby brother Reuben. Everyone was very excited to see her. A few of us got to have a cuddle with Reuben. 

We showed Tilly all the things we've been doing and because it was raining and lunchtime we got to play inside with her. 

We really enjoyed seeing Tilly. She was a wonderful friend and classmate. Whilst we would love to have her back at Yaldhurst we are pleased that Tilly is loving her new school and has made some good friends.
