This term the Year 5/6 Choir have been practicing really hard for the Christchurch Music Festival. The festival is at the CBS Arena at the end of October. We will be performing for our friends and families. There will be lots of other schools there as well. We go to the hall for choir. Ms Emeleus conducts us and Mr Searle is our pianist.

Arts Celebration

This term we've had an Arts term. It has been so busy! To celebrate the arts, the senior school held an Arts Celebration on the last Monday of term. We opened up our classrooms to the rest of the school and invited our families to come along to see our art. It was amazing to see so many people in our classrooms and we loved sharing our art with everyone.

After lunch the senior school performed at 2 celebration assemblies. We sang 'Images' and our school song. It sounded amazing.

Athletics

Throughout Term 3 we have done a lot of practice for Athletics. We have done sprints, discus, high jump, long jump, shot-put and relay. We have our Athletics day in Week 3 of Term 4. We would like to see lots of parents there!

Fly Me Up to Where You Are

We got the opportunity to be involved in creating 'prayer flags' for an exhibition called 'Fly me up to where you are', which is a part of the Christchurch Arts Festival. Here are some photos of the process!

How Room 27 has been going this week!

This is Sam and Paige we are reporting this week in Room 27. This week we have done blackout poetry. How you do that is rip a page out of an old book, then search around all the lines for meaningful words. Then you vivid around the words you like and colour the rest in. We have also been making stress balls and that  was fantastic. With Miss Hansen we did some drama scenes and performed them to the class. Next week on Monday we are going to dress up as our favourite book characters because next week its book week. In term 4 the school pool will be set up and ready to swim in!We can see it being built from our balcony. Next term we are having a speech competition, it's like the poetry competition except we do speeches. It's for year 4, 5, 6. Team 27 is doing great this term. This term we have new PALs, PAL is where you get to take years 1, 2, 3, 4 and you teach them fun sports games. Sometimes at the end the PAL leaders will vs the younger children in a game!  This was Paige and Sam reporting your BREAKING NEWS listen next time!
