Last week Kelly Sports came into school and took the children for games. Sadly it rained on our day but the class were still able to enjoy the indoor activities that Kelly Sports provided. Here is a photo of the class playing silent ball.

Congratulations to everyone who completed your holiday reading logs. Fairy Judy was very impressed!

Congratulations, also, to Xavier and Sophia who were chosen by the class as well deserving recipients of last week's "Caught Being Good" certificates at our Puriri Assembly. We are very proud of these two role models of manaakitanga 😀.

On Wednesday our class has scooter training. Please bring your scooter and helmet to school on that day. All scooters will be locked in the pool area after we have used them.

Please remember to send back all Athletics Day notices before Friday.

Have a great week!!
