Aquagym Week!  The children had a wonderful time last week swimming at Aquagym. Many of them learned new skills and a highlight was making the huge whirlpool on the last day of swimming! 

         As part of writing last week, the children have been thinking of goals that they would like to achieve for the year. Here are a few examples of what the children wrote. I am learning to write smaller so I have room for words in my sentences.  I want to get better at my subtraction because I have to use my hands. My goal is to do reading with new words by sounding them out. I need to get better at knowing new sounds like albatross. I need to get better at cross country because I need to keep my pace.

Kererū 20 were on the bus bright and early this morning for our first swim at Aquagym.  After being put into groups, they started their lessons with lots of learning on floating, arm circles, kicking and breathing techniques.  What amazing swimmers we have!!  They were a delight to take on the bus and even seemed a little sleepy on our trip back to school!  Kererū 20 are in the pool from 10.00 - 10.30am, if you feel like popping down to see them in action.

Today Ethan braved the audience and shared some special treasures that told us a little more about him.  He loves visiting Castle Hill with his family, biking - he even has special biking gloves, and playing hockey.  He also goes to Cubs and had many impressive badges to show off. It was lovely to learn a little more about you Ethan!!  We are looking forward to hearing all about the last few children tomorrow.

Happy Love Day from the sweethearts of K19 The children of Kererū 19 had a great time making some wee heart creatures today to celebrate Love Day!!  We hope they made it home, safe and sound.  It was a lovely way to remind us to tell those special people in our lives that we love them and appreciate them!
