Term 3 Week 1 Happenings

What a fantastic first week back we have had in Turama! It's been all action and with the beautiful sunny weather we have been able to take our learning outside as well. We have had some super PE lessons as well as one group heading outdoors to learn all about angles. We have also kicked off our miniature unit in art which we are all quite excited about. Well done to the Turama students for leading an awesome learning celebration this afternoon. We are so proud of you all!

Pupil of the Week

Saffron - you walk and talk our school values every day. You treat everyone with respect, you show responsibility for your learning and belongings and you take great pride in yourself.

Harry - you have made an awesome start to the term. It’s great to see you showing that you are responsible for yourself, your learning, our learning space! Thanks for your teamwork, keep it up.

Miniature Houses

Today Kim came in and brought an example of a miniature house. She's going to come in at the start of next term and help everyone to make their own miniature house, shed or tree hut (whatever they want to make). Over the holidays we need to collect a box and lots of different objects that we can use, such as corks, bottle lids, candle stumps, small containers and anything else we can find to recycle. We're really looking forward to making these!

Hockey

On Wednesday we had a hockey session with Karla from No Child Left Inside. We brushed up our hockey skills by practising hitting the ball and controlling it.

Netball

We have two teams from Turama (Year 3/4s) playing in the netball competition at Saxton courts every Wednesday. What an awesome bunch of super keen netballers they are!  Many thanks to the coaches and enthusiastic parent supporters!
