Term 4

This term is already halfway through and next week is our school production. Our class item looks f*a*n*t*a*s*t*i*c! If you're free come down to the Community Centre on Thursday 18th November 7pm and check us out. (There is a dress rehearsal at 1.30pm on Thursday if you can't make the night performance). We are doing a dance about the Christchurch earthquake disaster. Room 2 is doing a volcano disaster play, and Room 4 is doing a play about the Southland flood.

Next week we also start our swimming programme every afternoon for the next 3 weeks - don't forget your togs, towel and goggles!!!

Don't forget that the term ends on the 16th December.
