Air Force Museum

Today we went to the Air Force Museum. It was a fantastic day that I enjoyed just as much (if not more) than the children. We all learnt so much and were exposed to the old and the new roles of the NZAF. We took so many photos that they cannot all go up on here but please feel free to come in and have a look on Monday morning.

Cross Country

On Tuesday the children from OLA competed in our School Cross Country. Although the weather was a little cold they all did a fantastic job and their training paid off with Jamie coming 1st in the Yr 4 Boys and Kieran coming 1st in the Yr 3 Boys.
Well done Room 9!

Army Visit

We were lucky enough today to have two guest speakers from the Army come and speak to the children. They gave us an insight into what life is like for them, the equipment they use and the training they go through. The children really enjoyed this experience and learnt a wide range of information.

Talia and Angus were chosen to try on some of the Army gear!

Anzac Ceremony

On Friday the children and wider school community participated in the O.L.A. Anzac ceremony. We were remembering our fallen heroes, and acknowledging the many great deeds of our Defence Forces currently.
It was a moving ceremony that was very well organised by Mr A.

Room 9 looked very smart wearing their poppies.

Respect

In Term 2 our values focus is Respect, yesterday at our Values Assembly the children watched this video.
“I am respectful. I treat others and myself as we deserve to be treated. I show courtesy to everyone. I learn from the wisdom of my elders.”

Serving Our Country

This term our focus is 'Serving Our Country' and today in class we talked about ANZAC day. The children will be learning about the defence forces and people who served in them. If you have someone in your family or a friend that you know who either served or is currently serving please post their name below so that we can add them to our class wall. Any photos would also be appreciated.

Happy Holiday!

Hi Everyone, I have made a movie of photos from Term One. Turn your sound up for this one! I hope you all had a safe Easter, enjoy the rest of your holiday. I'm looking forward to all the exciting things we have planned for Term Two. Miss Rooney
