Congratulations Super Stars!!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to see our concert last night.


We were really sad that George was sick and wasn't able to come. We hope that he gets better quickly so that he can come back to school.



We did four items......they were Greedy Cat, Pukeko Stomp,Freeze and the Princess Song.

Greedy Cat 

Pukeko Stomp.






Some of us were just a wee bit nervous before the concert started,while others were VERY excited!!



Freeze

The Princess song

After the concert was over everyone  enjoyed supper in Learning Support.

Thank you Super Stars....we are just so proud of you.
You were all amazing!!

Pukeko Week!

We have been very busy practising and preparing for for our concert next Thursday night.
If you would like to come and see us performing we would love to see you. The performance starts at 6.30pm and afterwards we are going to have supper.

Yesterday we used a sewing machine for the first time.

Some of us were very nervous at first  as it was a new experience .

We really had to concentrate really hard on what we were doing.

 Once we got the 'hang' of it we were on fire!!

It was hard work holding the material and working the pedal at the same time!





Gayle and Rachel thought that we were amazing....perhaps some of us might end up in the fashion industry!!!

We hope that you will come and see us on the 20th at 6.30 pm.

Spring has arrived!

Spring is finally here so we all went to Botanical Gardens to see the daffodils and blossom.


We took our lunch and then had a play at the playground before we went daffodil hunting.

George came and met us at the Gardens. It was great to see him as he has been away sick and we have missed him!

We all had fun climbing up the blossom tree.

We were amazed at how many daffodils there were at the Gardens...they were everywhere!

We enjoyed our afternoon out especially when it was such a lovely Spring day.

OUT ON A PUKEKO HUNT!

On Wednesday we all went to the Travis Wetlands to look for Pukekos.

We walked around the Wetlands....there were Pukekos everywhere!

They have beautiful blue/purple feathers,a red/orange beak and funny feet.....not webbed like a duck.

A very large black swan came out of the water and started to walk over towards us.He didn't look very friendly so we kept on walking.

There were lookouts for us to go into and observe all the wild life...they didn't know that we were there watching them.

It was very quiet and still.

If you haven't been to the Travis Wetlands we think that you should choose a sunny day to go there for a visit.

Are we enjoying drama? Yes we are!!!!

Wow!   It has been a very productive week with our super stars.
We are having a superb time acting out songs and stories.
If you go into youtube on the Waimairi School site you will see us acting out the Sleeping Princess song.

We are hoping to put all of our repertoire together for a concert for the parents.......so watch this space!

Off to the supermarket!

Yesterday we all went to the Countdown supermarket to buy some goodies for Mrs Leech's surprise birthday party.

We all had a turn at choosing something off the shopping list.

Gayle and Rachel are going to take us shopping again
as we were so helpful.

Jacob was in charge of pushing the trolley.

 Rachel had a $20 note to pay for all of the lollies.

 We all helped to take everything out of the trolley.

Here is Victoria giving Rachel change from the $20.

 Katelyn used the credit card to pay for the remaining items.

Week Three...

Our numbers have been down this week so we are looking forward to being back at full strength on Monday.


Jeremy,Jacob,Luke and Rachel are now all very capable  of preparing a treat for their family!
It is  quick,easy and very tasty to make.


All you need is 1 tin of reduced cream, 1 packet of onion soup and the juice of half a lemon.
Mix all the ingredients together and put in the fridge for half an hour.
Peel carrots and cut into sticks.
Open a packet of chips and hey presto a tasty snack!!!

"The carrots were very crunchy. The dip tasted yummy"         Rachel

"The chips and dip were tasty. I enjoyed eating them"        Jacob

"The chips were too salty but the carrots were nice and juicy. The dip was cold in my mouth"
                                                                                                 Luke

Jeremy tried the dip but he didn't like it.
