Wearing our PJ's to school!??

GPK day was great! What a great way to end our term, celebrating making good choices as we Grow to be Positive Kiwis. We were able to wear our PJ's to school, bring a pillow, and chill out and watch a movie in the hall during the middle block. Great fun!

Applying for a Job... I hope we get one!

We have started to apply for jobs for PrEP next term. PrEP stands for Primary Enterprise Programme, and we learn to manage ourselves, work with others, manage money and run a small business, where we make and sell products using our own currency at a real market day!

We have written our CV's and our letters of application and posted them to the PrEP Government. We can't wait until after the holidays to see if we get a letter back accepting us for a job. We hope we don't get rejected!!

Here we are thinking hard about what jobs we could apply for and writing our CV's and covering letters;

Eagle Helicopter Visits Us To Talk About Leadership

This morning, a pattering of rotors, that we hear so often as we are under the path of the local air base flight zone for the Airforce, suddenly become a bit louder and closer than we were use to. To our wonder and amazement, out from the clouds and over the Upper Harbour houses thundered a deep blue helicopter! We were all on the courts and it came and hovered above us, before circling and landing on our school field!!

We were so lucky to have the Sergeant and the crew come to talk about Leadership with all of the Year 5/6 students as part of leadership week and red socks week.

Check out our page on the Eagle helicopter visit to see more photos!!

We have been learning how to weave...with straws!!

We have found this very challenging, but then addictive!! It was very hard to start as the straws kept slipping, but once we had done a few runs, it held well and we were off!

See what we are getting up to in this video clip;
