Manawatu Garden Festival School Competition
Well done to our Garden Sculpture group whowon the School section of the Manawatu Garden Festival. It was great to see all members plan and develop this action project so competently. It was a fantastic achievement in only 3 afternoons and as maths enrichment for a small number of students!
Many thanks to Andrew and Ester Knight for the inspiration.
Thank you to our helpers Mrs Burton, Mr Digby and Mrs Carter! Thank you too, to those parents who sent along bits and pieces of garden tools etc for the display.
This video was taken by Mike (from the Lotto add) for his T.V show - watch out for his programme on TV.
Bainese Visit
Last week we were privileged to have the student leaders from Bainesse School visit to talk to us about our learning through inquiry and action. We will visit them in the near future to learn more about how they are developing their action projects in their community action groups. Since last visiting us they have developed a food and cooking group and students planned their 2014 camp. It is a valuable opportunity to share and learn from others.
'Strings Attached'
Thank you to those parents who helped out with transport to this puppet workshop / show held last week in Kimbolton and thanks to Pat for picking up students from Kimbolton in the bus.
'We went to Kimbolton and did some cool puppet workshops. Then we walked from the school to the Kimbolton Hall. We watched a puppet show and it was funny, he made his sock talk and he was clever. Then he did a puppet show and it was about Snow White and the 7 dwarfs. Johnny was one of the dwarfs and it was funny. I liked the bit when the stepmother asked the mirror "Mirror, mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all." The mirror said "You but Snow white is the fairest of them all." The stepmother screamed and made my little brother Atlas scared.' - Chloe.
Fonterra
