Our Term 2 Excellent Learner


Each Term at Eastern Hutt School Mrs Henderson (our school principal) gives out a very special award to one person from every class at our school.  This award is for somebody that shows excellence in all that they do.  That means that we give our very very best, always. 

Our Super Star Student in E6 during Term 2 is Kingston!





Mrs Henderson came to our Jolly Juniors Assembly this week and gave out the certificates. 






















Way to go Kingston, Tino Pai!
We think you deserve Mrs Henderson's special award
and we are proud to have you in our class!

100 Days at School!



We have celebrated 100 Days at School. 
We are 100 days smarter!  
Happy 100s Day E6!



Thumbs up if you love school and you are 100 days smarter! 
We all made special crowns to wear.



Mrs Graham's sister Rochelle baked a 
100s Day Cake for us to share together for lunch today. 



It had the number 100 on it 
(and lots of 100's and 1000s).
It was a chocolate cake and it tasted delicious!

Thank you Rochelle for making us a 100s Day Party Cake. We loved it!


Can you spot Eva? She wore 100 spots to school today!  
She showed us her giraffe measurement chart.
We counted the numbers to 100 with Eva.


Sandy made us a Happy 100s Day poster! 

Raphy and Natey made necklaces with 100 beads in the holidays.
They counted the beads in groups of 10.  How many groups of 10 do you need to get to 100?
We skip count in tens every morning in E6!

Taylor and her Mum made a colourful 100s day caterpillar shirt to wear to school.  


Sriraj wrote a list of 100 toys and practiced 
reading and writing numbers to 100.


Rohan showed us some photos of all the 100s Day activities 
that he did in the holidays.

Sylvia made a book.  
She wrote a list of 100 things she did in the holidays.

School Holiday Fun!





Teddy Gram Note Generator
I wonder what the children in E6 have been busy doing in the holidays?  

Mrs Graham has been fishing in the Marlborough Sounds with her family.    






Mrs Graham caught her very first fish. It was a Blue Cod.  It was so big that she had to let it go back into the water.  

Sylvia has emailed me these photos of her special holiday.


Sylvie went to Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre with her family.  She got to see Manukura the special white Kiwi that lives there.  Sylvie's Mum said Manukura was asleep and curled up in a tiny little ball. 

(Do you remember the story Kingston brought to school for us to read about Manukura, the special white kiwi?)  

Here is Sylvia and her little brother exploring!
Sylvia got to stay in a hotel for the night! Look at her fancy bed!  Sylvia is holding the picture book that Joy Cowley wrote about Manukura. It is just like Kingston's book.

What an exciting adventure Sylvia! Thank you for sharing your photos with us.

Charlotte has been on a special outing.  She went shopping in Petone.


Charlotte bought a pretty pink box.  
Pink is Charlotte's favourite colour! 







I wonder what you will keep in your beautiful pink box Charlotte?  Thank you for sharing 
 photo with us.

Jeven went on  holiday with his Mum and Dad, and little brother.
  
Jeven and his family went to Auckland, and the Bay of Islands.




Jeven visited his friend Brendan, and they had a great time together.


Can you see Jeven and his friend Brendan inside the scary shark?          (Be careful Jeven, that shark might be a very hungry shark!)


Jeven went on a boat ride with his Mum, and he played on the beach.







I wonder what you are holding in your hand Jeven? It looks like a very big shell.


  
Thank you for sharing your holiday photos with us Jeven. You look like you have had some great adventures! 

Anika went to Avalon Park with her baby brother in the holidays.  


Anika fed bread to the pigeons and the ducks.   I can see lots of hungry seagulls in the photo too!

I wonder how you can tell the difference between a pigeon and a duck Anika?

You might like to email Mrs Graham a holiday photo so that we can share it on our blog!

The Shenanigans

This morning we went to the hall.  We were excited because we got to see a band called 'The Shenanigans' play some Irish music.  




Jane played her violin.  There were colourful lights and the instruments were loud.  We clapped our hands to the music and sang some of the words.   













We thought it was funny when Justin got the teachers to join the band.  Miss Harris and Mrs Cook and Mrs Clark had to wear funny hats.  












Some of the children were lucky because they got to stand up the front and do some irish dancing.  




Anika got to play the boom stick.  She had to bang her stick on the ground in time to the music.  The stick had bells all over it.

Wild Things!

We read a story called Where the Wild Things Are, written by Maurice Sendak.

Come and see our crazy Wild Things! We decorated them with pastels.  We chose some crazy googly eyes for our Wild Thing!









What do you like to do when you 
feel wild and crazy?
