Production

ABOVE: Abby and Meredith.

WOW production is finally here. Thank you so much for organizing outfits for your kids! We had a dress rehearsal yesterday and the kids looked fantastic Mrs Llodra and I are really happy with how our production has come together as the kids were in charge of deciding on dance moves and costumes and they have done an incredible job.

Night shows: Wednesday 6pm and Thursday 6pm

I will be in Room 4 from 5.45 on both of these nights so you can drop the children off here and then we will get them ready and watch a movie while we wait for our turn.
There was going to be a finale - now there isn't so this means that the children can go home after their act. Once we have been the kids will be back in Room 4. We don't have an exact time - but I imagine it will be done by 7.30. Please understand that you physically need to come in and collect your child.

If you have any queries pop in and see me.

Yay, let the fun begin!

Tititoria - Maori Stick games with Janet

We have been very lucky this term to have Janet Jackson come in and teach us some Te Reo Maori. We have learnt Maori animal names, body parts, Maori songs and this week we learnt how to do Tititoria to E Papa Wairia. We had a great time playing Maori stick games and working on our hand eye co-ordination. What we were using was just rolled up magazines, you could make some at home.

Class of Champions!

I love coming to school and hearing about the AMAZING things that the kids in Room 4 have been doing.

Hannah - In her Contemporary Dance Exam received High Honours. The second highest grade! She says the hardest thing about her exam was "trying to remember everything". The best thing about the exam "was getting the result!".
In Hannah's Jazz exam she scored 4.5 out of 5 stars! Well done Hannah we are very proud of you!

Stephanie - In her Contemporary Dance Exam received Honours, in her Jazz Exam received Very Highly Commended and in her Hip Hop Exam received Very Highly commended. The hardest thing about the exams was "contemporary because you have to have really good control of yourself and you don't usually start until you are 12". The best thing was, "probably listening to the music because I got excellence". What a busy bunch of dancers in Room 4!

Julio - Played in the Global Games for rugby representing Taupo at Owen Delany Park. His team played in 6 games over two days. They had five wins and a draw. The team won and were the Cup Champions. Julio won Most Valuable Player in the tournament which also represents sportsmanship and determination. He received an amazing trophy that looks like a Maori fish hook.

Joe - Played in the Global Games as well and his team came third! 

We also have Joe, Julio and Abby going to inter-school cross country on Wednesday.
On Wednesday night we have Julio, Peter and Archie competing in Maths Matters at Taupo Intermediate School starting at 6.30.
AND on Friday our Kapa Haka group is going to preforming in the Tuwharetoa Festival.

We love hearing about what the kids are doing and achieving so keep it up!

Check out our movie from going to the mountain!
