Beach Education

What a fantastic day Te Pihinga and Te Kakano had at Beach Education today. It was a beautiful day and the beach was sparkling. Everyone was very excited to be going on a bus and going to the beach. I think the parents and teachers were as well, from their big smiles.

We spent some time learning about beach and water safety from our lovely lifeguards. Alexia got to be a mini lifeguard and rescue Louis.

Finally it was time for togs and to get in the water. There aren't any photos of us in the water because we were all having too much fun. The adults who were in the water were very impressed with the way all the children were so brave in getting into the water. Many of them tried going out further than they would have normally and there was a lot of squealing and delight on all the children's faces. Mr Robertson also had a lot of fun, surfing the ways like a professional.

After lunch we played Fruit Salad and then built sandcastles on the sand. There were some amazing creations.

Then sadly, it was time to get our bags, get on the bus and go back to school But it was a really wonderful day.

Te Pihinga's First Day

Today was our first day in our new classroom.

Miss Carr and Mrs Spragg where at school super early making sure it was as perfect as it could be with only a day and a bit set up. We were excited about everyone seeing the classroom and we really hoped that it would be a hit.

But watching everyone's faces as people arrived showed us that we had nothing to worry about. Everyone zipped around, looking at this and that and wondering where to put bags and food. Once that was sorted the bell rang and it was on with the show ... opps I mean school.

We tried to keep the day as 'normal' as possible. We had a Powhiri, fitness, class meeting about the new class, big book, literacy time, maths time, library visit and athletics practise. And of course the best bits of the day when we learn outside with our friends and food. ;)

Here are a few snaps from our day:
