A5's Class Sharing at Aroha Team Assembly

Singing our diligence action song

Mrs Forrest was very proud of the way the A5 students ran their presentation by themselves and without any cue cards! You're awesome A5!

Autumn Authors

We are BIG, like this leaf that Litong found, on autumn! As autumn is such a delightful topic to write about we thought we would get someone in to choose our best piece. We decided Mrs Bracey would be an excellent choice because she reads a lot of books being our librarian and she knows what juicy writing sounds like!

The entries were narrowed down by Mr Forrest choosing his favourite, Mrs Forrest choosing hers and the class choosing theirs. It was interesting that everyone had similar but slightly different favs. Mrs Bracey said she loved all of the finalists' stories and that it was a very hard choice. She finally chose Benjamin's saying, "It was the way you wrote about autumn leaves being like a fire that caught my attention. No one else did that." Mrs Bracey said there were some potential future authors in A5!



Here is Benjamin's autumn story...

Benjamin made this lovely leaf at home using different coloured leaf rubbings. You're so clever!

Cross Country!

Well, we couldn't have asked for better weather! Congratulations Mr McDonald for organising an awesome event!

Before our run we talked about our focus values for the term during devotions - DILIGENCE & HUMILITY and how we could show those at cross country today. We wanted to be the opposite of Lazy Duck from our Big Book, who was lazy and proud. Mrs Forrest was very proud of the way we showed diligence and humility. Everyone tried their best. She was especially proud of those who congratulated others on their success.

Year 2's all ready to go!

Josh leading the pack up the hill. Go Aiden! You are not far behind!

First across the line!

Josh won! This is how much he was in front. You can see Mrs Rose looking at him running past (he is out of frame)

James proving we did run a real cross country with real mud!

Congratulations Josh!

Congratulations Natalia!

Mud, mud, mud!!!!
