School Choir

Some of our class members are doing choir with Mr Phillips.  They will be performing at the mall soon. They have practice with him on Mondays.  They will sing and maybe dance to the songs. They will perform at the Richmond Mall and you could go see it.  Oh and parents of students that go to Saint Paul's School could ask them when it's on.

Kotuku Cup

Congratulations to Alani for winning the week 3 Kotuku Cup!  Alani has impressed me by her developing initiative and responsibility around our classroom.  She is becoming a fantastic leader :)

The Best Me I Can Be

As part of our RE unit, Kotuku class has been learning about our gifts and talents.  God has given us all gifts and talents that he wants us to share with others.  We have learned that we are each unique and beautiful and that when we work together we can be a MASTERPIECE!

Working together as a community (in our classroom, at church, at work) is so important.  Together we achieve.  Everyone is important and has a purpose.  When we work together like this we are the Body of Christ on Earth.

 Below is a Youtube link of 1 Corinthians 12 to watch.

St Paul's ANZAC Service

On the 24th of April we had very special people at our school. We had the Mayor of Tasman, Father David, head Waimea College students, head Garin College students, R.S.A members and Garin college principal also the Salisbury students.

We welcomed and introduced our guests. Then we read the Ode. After that our class handed out poppy wreaths to our special guests then we played The Last Post on a bugle. Not long after that we sang the National Anthem then Mayor Kempthorne read a speech. It was very interesting. The person who played the bugle was very talented. He was from Garin College. It was not his bugle, it was Toby (from Kereru) great grandfather's bugle.

 

Logan Spur read the ode out loud. I don't think she even looked at the paper once! I had to try to remember really hard when she started to say it. 

Jasmine got to give her wreath to the Mayor of Tasman. Some little kids went up with Mr Dorman to get the wreath - it was so cute!
