Puppets in learning

Last week the students each presented a puppet show as a culmination to a series of work we had been doing on unusual celebrations. The challenge was to present their information in an exciting puppet show. The students worked in groups to create their stages, puppets, scripts and finally to perform. Enjoy!

Notices

·      There have been a number of notices handed out over the past few week e.g. Tennis, CZ Hockey and ASB Girls football.  These need to be returned top Mr. McMillan ASAP…tomorrow!

Playground

·      There have been a few issues in the playground during ‘break times’ recently (this is feedback from students).  These include: people kicking balls away or throwing it away during basketball games, flying fox not being shared, banning of people from games, dishonesty in games or not following the rules of a game e.g. going out when out, and people being inside when they are supposed to be outside. 

*It is important that we, first, acknowledge that these things are happening and then make the necessary changes.  The Year 5 and 6 students are the role models, on this side of the school, and need to make sure they make good choices as this sets the example for others. 

*REMEMBER…look after each other, especially the younger students of the school.
