Autumn Leaves







As the autumn leaves fell from the trees we all had an awesome time at lunchtime playing in them! We made huge piles and had lots of leaf fights!

Term 2 Festival of Colour


On the first we back at school we were treated to two performances as part of the Festival of Colour week.
The first was Rangimoana Taylor, an engaging storyteller. He told us the importance of looking, listening and talking about stories that we read and hear. He also made the point that many people in New Zealand think stories are just for children, but as their is a big kid in all of us we know that everyone can enjoy stories.

Our other performance was in Wanaka, where we watched 'Tale of a Dog'. Everyone loved this and afterwards we talked about all the things you need in a performance, like costumes, lights, props and actors.

This was important because at the end of this term our whole school will be talking part in a production, so watch this space!!
