Hooray Kotuku!

Hooray Kotuku class!  Today we came in to find we were the only winners of the Cleanest Classroom Award for term 3.  Our lovely cleaners, Raewyn and Steven, kindly left us a bag of lollipops and chocolate to share.  They said it was a very close race in the middle syndicate and that we held the lead by a small margin due to our vinyl locker area NEVER having a single piece of paper or belongings on it.  This will be the second term in a row that we have won!

WELL DONE KOTUKU!

Just Dance 2 - Walk Like an Egyptian

School Production

Next term we will be very busy getting ready for our whole school production.  Mr Phillips is writing and directing the show.  Each class will present a different period of history.

Kotuku class will be Egyptians.  We are working on our two dances with Mr Phillips and Mrs Trolle ready for next term.

Over the holidays it would be a good time to start looking for some costume items.  The students will need a black t-shirt or black singlet and black shorts to wear under their Egyptian costume.  They will need a brown belt or rope to tie around their waist and they could either wear bare feet or sandals.

KidsCan Mufti Day

On Friday our school is supporting the KidsCan fundraiser with a mufti day (gold coin).  The money raised is for breakfasts and warm jackets for children in need in New Zealand.

Congratulations to the Quizapedias!

Well done to the Quizapedias for their 3rd placing at the Ministry of Inspiration Quiz night!  There were 28 teams in the Henley School Hall and so the girls did so well.  The girls received a bar of chocolate each for their efforts.  They were very proud and will star in the weekly newspaper soon.

Saxton Stadium Sports

Today Kereru and Kotuku classes went to the Saxton Stadium to play handball and Futsal.  Jeremy and Emily from Sport Tasman met us there and organised the draw for all of our teams.  We all played hard and gave each game our best.  At the end, Jeremy and Emily chose some kids for good sportspeople awards.  A big thank you to all of the parents who gave us rides to and from the stadium today :)

The Flower, Power Book Fair Parade

On Wednesday the 10th of September Saint Paul's School had a Book Fair Parade which was held on the junior court. The theme was Garden. Each class marched around the court and showed the rest of the school their costumes. One person from each class was chosen for the best costume and they won a prize. The prize was a $7 dollar gift voucher from the book fair, the winner also got a lemonade ice-block. The person from our class was Liam Gale, he was a gnome. Congratulations Liam! At the book parade even some of the teachers were dressed up. Some of the costumes were butterflies, ladybugs, gnomes, fruit, people were dressed up in green and lots more.
