TERM 4

Term has started with a bang.

At the end of last week, we went to Waiora Scout Camp for 2 days. The year 3 children from Mrs P's class came to join in on the activities on Friday.

As a class we made some goals before we headed off to camp. I was very impressed at how seriously the children took this and I think these goals were spot on and definitely achieved! 

Room 8 Camp Goals

Be grateful
Try new things
Try different foods
Get on with each other and work together
Manage myself and my belongings
Have a good sleep
Listen to other people
Have a positive attitude

                        Here are just a few photos to give you a taste of what we got up to.

                                                                         Day 1.


Organising our groups at the start of camp.


Heading off on our walk. Energy levels and excitement level were high.


The stream was a great place to have lunch, explore... 


and catch some yabbies!


Building our shelters where we had our dinner. 
Lots of discussion, listening to each other and working together needed.



Beginning of Day 2.


 Archery was just one of the activities in our rotation. This was enjoyed by all.




End of a very enjoyable and successful camp. 







Special End of Term Surprise

We were lucky enough to have Mabel and Greers's ponies to visit us.
For some of us, it was our first time on a pony. It was certainly a real treat.

                      Thank you Donya for bringing them to school.
