We are top cats!

We have had a busy and fun learning adventure together in E6 this year.   We really are top cats!  Raphy and Natey's Mum came to paint our faces like top cats yesterday as a special treat for being such busy bees and brilliant learners!

Thank you so much Kerry for painting our faces ... don't we look just like clever cats!

Our End of Year Trip to the Beach

Yesterday we were so excited because we went on the bus to Days Bay with all the Junior classes to celebrate the end of school for 2013.  We got to build sandcastles on the beach and collect some shells.  We paddled in the water and jumped some waves.  

B J Bear came to see us.  We sang The Wheels on the Bus with him.  Charlotte and Joshua tried to give B J a high 5 but he tricked us and moved his hand away too quickly!

 After lunch we got our face painted and went on a scavenger hunt.  We found some treasures along the beach and sat quietly listening to all the sounds we could hear.  We had a turn on the bouncy castles and played some sports games.  

Before we went home Harriet the Clown came and put on a show for us all.  While we watched the show we all had lemonade ice blocks!  

What a fabulous trip Mrs Gwilliam organised for all of us.  We went back to school tired but happy!  What a great way to spend one of our last days together!

Our E6 Term 4 Superstar

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 excellent learner in E6 for Term 4 is Eva!

Eva gives her very very best.  

Eva tries super hard, and when it gets tricky she just takes a big breath and tells herself she can do it!

You should see her beautiful artwork.  She takes her time and great care to to finish some amazing masterpieces.

Eva is an expert at helping people.  If you ask her to help she says "sure I'll do that" with a big smile on her face.

Eva knows how to work quietly and follow instructions.  She is good at thinking about new ideas too!  

Way to go Eva - we are so proud of you and we think you deserve Mrs Henderson's special excellence award!

E6 and E7 Jellyfish Dance!

Thank you to Raphy and Natey's Mum and Dad for taking this little movies of us dancing like super star jellyfish!!

We are Stars!

Way to go E6 ... Ka rawe! You are awesome!

WOW! You all shined like stars on our school stage this week.  We were so excited to put on our school show, and we all did such a FABULOUS job.  I can't stop smiling! We can all be very very proud of ourselves.

Here are some beautiful photos I have been sent of us performing.  There are lots more to come in so watch this space!  We  certainly did dance like jiggly jolly jellyfish!  

A huge thank you to all our parents and family members who encouraged us, and helped us prepare for our show - especially Taylor's Mum, Raphy and Natey's Mum and Joshua's Mum - we couldn't have done it without you!

Our School Show

We are so excited because we are putting on a junior school show for all our friends and families to come and see.  Our school show is called 'Commotion in the Ocean'.  All the junior classes have chosen a sea creature as their class item.  We get to do a jellyfish dance with E7 on the stage in our school hall. 

Today we had our first full dress rehearsal.  The middle and senior school children came to watch us. 

Look at us in our jiggly jolly jellyfish costumes.  We had so much fun!

E6 Swimming Stars

Today we were so excited because we had our first swimming session in our school pool.  We are so lucky to have a school pool that is heated.    Some of us were a bit nervous because we haven't been in the school pool before.  But we had a try and we discovered it was great fun. 

 We got to have a big play while Mrs Graham and Miss Pauley watched all our clever swimming tricks and swimming skills.

We can't wait till Friday afternoon when we can say 

Let's go Swimming again!
