Mini-ball

MiniBall

There is an opportunity for our Year 3 and 4 children to be involved in a Miniball competition to be held in the Ohoka School Hall on a Tuesday after school.

It would cost $30 a player and there needs to be 8 players in each team.

There would need to be a parent taking responsibility for the team.

If you would like to know more the poster is in Wharehui or talk to either Lynley or Sue.

 

First Day in Discover

Mmmmm - statistics, I wonder what that is?

Holidays

While Ms B is playing in the cold I have been in the North Island catching up with family. We have been to Hot Water Beach and up the Sky Tower. Here is a picture of my English nieces leaning on the glass on the observation deck and some one jumping off the side of the tower. 

Hello again from the U.S of A

Well we survived the BIG STORM, which in actual fact was not as bad as we thought it would be, but definitely colder than in NZ. Here are some pics from New York. We have now arrived in Washington, just as the next big storm is due to arrive.

Hope you are all enjoying the holidays, wherever you may be.

We've Arrived!

Well we've had our first day in New York - what an incredible amount of people. Times Square was our first place to visit and it was teeming. Then my camera ran out of battery! We had our first hotdogs - a bit disappointing, but hopefully they'll get better. It is not nearly as cold as we thought, although we are supposed to get some snow on Thursday. My camera is all charged up now and ready for a new day.

Merry Christmas, Happy New year , New York here we come!!

The big day has finally arrived and we are sitting at Auckland Airport waiting for our flight to Los Angeles. Christmas has been and gone (I hope you all had a wonderful day and thank you to everyone for all the fantastic presents, cards and kind thoughts Sue and I received on the last day.)
Our next big excitement will be arriving in New York and celebrating New Year's Eve in Times Square.

Keep watching this space for further updates!

Meet the NEW Team!

Lots of fun today meeting our new team members from Launch. Aspire could hear the fun and laughter from the pool in their team.
Come and see our Pic Collage posters when we've finished them.

I am in england, from Ethan

Hi Bronson and Reuden and Blake.

Wet and Wild Day

This Friday is wet and wild day.  Please bring a gold coin donation!

During lunchtime there is a massive water fight so please bring along your togs and towels as well as buckets, bottles, and waterguns to maximise your Wet and Wild day experience. (No water balloons please).

Random Act of Kindness

We have loved these beautiful flowers which just appeared on our table at the beginning of the week. So far no-one has admitted being the provider. If it was you, then thank you!

Camp

We are back from camp and what a fabulous time we had. 

We all tried new things and felt really good about ourselves when we got home.

That was a long walk but when we got to the beach at the other end we had lots of fun.

One of the highlights of camp was the waterslides. We even had to have a turn before we left on the cold Friday.

The Launch Shop

On Monday 25th November 2013, Launch's keen shopkeepers will have a treat for you. They are showing you what they have learnt all about how Maths in used in shopping. They have decided that they wish to raise some money for some new shovels for our sandpit. So they will be selling both cakes and bookmarks for $1 each at morning tea.

 Come along and see what you can buy!

Swimming!! So much fun!!

Bet there'll be a few more with togs today - lots of tog envy yesterday. It certainly pays to read the blog to find out what's happening.

Discover's Big Day Out

What a fabulous day we had in town. Lots of new things to see and old favourites to revisit. Hopefully there was lots of talk at home. Our focus is on "What makes a city, a city?"
