Cross Country

What a fabulous day for the cross country this year. The children were all very excited about it, getting in the spirit by wearing their Hapu colour and getting their face painted! 

It was great to see how many parents came along to support them and even have family lunch time. 

In the cross country I will.....

"Try my best" Aiden

"I will sprint" Xaria

"I will run like a cheetah" Olivia

I was super proud the effort put in by everyone around the race track, everyone's legs pumping, focused on the task at hand and most with a huge smile on their face! Tino pai rawa atu! 😃

Visit to Bromley Kindy

Last week Room 2 courageously went and performed a poi dance that we have been practising at the kindy.  It was very exciting but we had some nerves as well! We were welcomed by a sign saying 'the junior Kapa Haka group was performing' so there was high expectations but we pulled it off brilliantly!

                        

We also 'signed' Ma is White as this is another song we have been learning.  The kindy kids sang us a couple of songs which was lovely.  We were lucky enough to be able to stay and play for awhile afterwards.  We look forward to coming back in the near future. 

                        

When we were back in the classroom we chatted about our experience;

"When I did the poi's I was shy but then I started to not get shy" Kaiya

"The kindergarten was so amazing cause I get to see my brother" Irakehu 

"I like everything" Olivia

"I was a bit nervous" Amber

"I was nervous about going doing the poi dance" Shae
