The i-Pad.

We won, we won, we won.

Thank you so much to all of our friends and families who watched the blog and responded to the children's posts. They really enjoy posting and sharing ideas when they know people care about what they say.

Aspire was awarded an i-Pod for their fantastic efforts. Well done, Aspire!!!

Good work team.

Watch this space for the next challenge!!!

Meadowfresh competition

The children will have been talking about a Meadowfresh competition that is available for schools. They should have brought home a sticker sheet onto which you can put stickers found on specially marked Meadowfresh milk and yoghurt packs.

The more we get the more chances we have of winning great prizes for the school.

My name is Brooke. I am collecting can tabs for the Kidney Foundation until the end of August. If you have any can tabs that you can donate please leave them at Room 4.

Thank you.

Kaiapoi Bear Hunt

Now that the weather is better you could do this.

Go to the Kaiapoi i-SITE Visitor Centre and pick up the entry form. There are 20 numbered bears hidden over Kaiapoi. You need to find them and fill them in on your form. There are bonus points if you find the secret messages that help make a sentence. You could win Smiggle packs, activitiy packs and more....

Come on and use all those clever map reading skills you have as well as the clever thinking skills you have.

I wonder if Team Discover could win all the prizes.

Best thing yet is that it is free, parents.

Good luck. May the best sleuth win!!!!

Amazing Art

Before the holidays we were amazed by the chalk drawings of Edgar Bueller. Can you find some more examples of this amazing work? There are other artists that do this too.

A Huge Thank you...

A huge thank you to  Michelle, Anita, Jemma, Kim, Jane, Debbie, Brian & Cherie for their outstanding effort on the weekend at the Northwood Warehouse BBQ fundraiser – approx $1000.00 was raised.  All these events help towards the next stage of our playground.
