Star wars cards

Kia ora Whanau

I have some spares of the Countdown Star Wars cards if you child needs any.  You know the drill - write me a letter requesting the numbers you need and I will see what I can do.

On the flip side - if you have a spare 11, then please let me know and I'm more than happy to write to your child requesting it as it's the last one I need for the set.

Many thanks and happy collecting!!

A MASSIVE thank you to Brendon for his awesome baking. The teachers can't wait to taste these delicious cupcakes.

Challenge Time

Next Thursday we are having a challenge of the children getting into groups and building a small house that could withstand the huffing and puffing of the Big Bad Wolf.  We are going to be using things like twigs, hay, newspaper, string, wool, tape etc.  If you have any of these materials at home or can collect some, PLEASE bring it in to Homeroom 22 so we can add to our collection.  Thanks so much!

Thank you

A big shout out to our parents that help with the hot lunches on a Wednesday (especially Mrs Gilmour and Mrs Jones).  The kids are absolutely loving them and they are such a cool thing to look forward to!
