Calendar Art

Orders for calendars (and cards) have to be in by Wednesday 26th September.
These will be different from last year and you will have a choice of three different backgrounds.
They make great Christmas presents for grandparents as well!

A note came home 2 weeks ago and is available on the website.

Loud Shirt Poster

Here is a Loud Shirt Day poster created by Mrs Campbell. We raised $140.90 which is pretty awesome.

Loud Shirt Day

Friday was Loud Shirt Day which raises money for The Hearing House and the Southern Cochlear Implant Programmme. They help deaf children learn to talk and hear like their friends. I think cochlear implants are amazing. 

Here is Room 1 with their loud shirts on.

Can you match the colours to the people?

 

Science Night

What a great evening we had sharing what we are learning in Science with our families. In Room 1 we have been learning about light and colour. We shared some of the experiments we have done in class. I liked hearing some of the 'science' words being used by the students explaining things to their parents.

Mixing coloured light.

Cricket

Last week we had some cricket training with Chris from Wellington Cricket. Unfortunately the weather meant we were confined to the hall. We could only practice throwing, fielding, bowling and running (no batting).

However it was all action as the photos show. There was plenty of moving and developing our cricket skills.

Lining up a throw.

Running.

Friday's Assembly

Here are our videos from Friday's assembly. What a great job all our presenters did!
What a shame the technology was not as well behaved.

Daffodil Day

Friday was Daffodil Day and the children of Normandale School were asked to wear yellow and bring a gold coin donation. Daffodil Day raises money for the NZ Cancer Society.
