Mufti Day

On Friday, we are holding a Mufti Day in support of Quinn, a little girl living with cancer. 

SPCA Visit

Yesterday, the ex All Black, Norm Hewitt, came to visit our school and talk about the connection between cruelty to animals and violence in the home. He was a fantastic speaker and captured us with his humorous anecdotes and enthusiasm.

Below is the website for the programme he is supporting the SPCA with. It's called "One of the Family." Check it out.

Wolf in the Wardrobe

3dom has just finished the fantastic book, Wolf in the Wardrobe. It is set in Wellington NZ so it was easy for us to relate to the characters and their experiences. It has some wonderful examples of language features and it inspired us in our own writing. It was full of humour and suspense. It also had some great twists that kept us guessing. 

We would definitely recommend this book as a great read.

Harlem Shake


Today 3dom did the Harlem Shake secretly in Mr Codyre, the principals office. We got into crazy costumes and this is how it turned out.
