Good luck to Cassidy who is competing at the Lions Speech Competition tonight... Remember the cake making competition this friday!!!

===**18th May 2011: ** === The cross country was awesome; the sun was shining, the autumn trees were gorgeous and the sportsmanship was outstanding. The Room One students should feel very proud of the way they helped the younger students and helped run the event. A big huge thank you from me. The other excitement today was the film crew filming for the telethon happening this weekend. If you are keen to see our school on screen watch Maori TV this weekend. Please remember to encourage new family and friends to play the new scavenger hunt game with us. Last weeks item is still on the site, so everyone has a chance to get started.

Cross country is tomorrow, too windy and wet today.

Run run run... hope everyone has been running heaps to get ready for Tuesdays cross-country. The track is around Bath Street Reserve and Tarndale Reserve. It is an easy 2.8 kms. Remember to keep searching for the Scavenger Hunt items. Please remember your homework Tuesday, you will receive your first tic-tac-toe game piece when you pass it in; exciting stuff aye...

= **12th May 2011(1.30pm): Term Two** = We just went outside on to the court and waved white sheets up to Mount Isobel, because the Year 8's rung us and they have made it to the peak. We are very proud of them and hopefully Grice hasn't been eating any worms today. The children were treated to Mrs Stewarts sewing lessons yesterday. The photo below is Bradley sewing a beanbag frog. It looked awesome. 

= **11th May 2011: Term Two** = Each week I will post anywhere on our wiki a different item (written small in red text) such as- a plastic fork. Collect all 10 items and be in to win. Anyone can play... you just need to photograph then email or bring in the 10 items on the last day of term. Please get all your family and friends to play, it is meant to be exciting and encourage everyone to search around our wiki.

If your child cannot complete their homework due to time constraints just write a quick note on the bottom of the homework sheet. I look forward to seeing the homework back next tuesday. Enjoy...**

= **7th May 2011: Term Two** = **Welcome back, we have started the term running. It is wonderful to welcome four new students into Room 1 and it was sad to see Amy, Jess, Josh and Britney leave, we wish them all the best. We have been focussing on learning sign language this week. The children can sign their name and simple greetings. We also practised signing God defend New Zealand, it was tricky! Thank you to the parents who came to the wiki night if you missed the evening click this link and you can see what was covered. http://hanmer4.wikispaces.com/Wiki+for+parents**
