End of Year Trip!

 Ahipara Beach Fun!

Last Friday we set off in cars and a bus to have some end-of-year fun, as a reward for all our hard work this year! The four Junior classes went to Korora St Park for a play, ice-blocks and morning tea. Then we went to the beachfront to play in the sand and rockpools and have lunch. 

Everyone had a great time, had loads of fun and were perfectly behaved! Thank you so much to all our whanau who came to transport, help out and supervise!

Hangin'10!

Sheltering from a shower.

Busy creative sand play!

This pool was chest-deep!

Crab hunting!

The deepest pool was up to our necks!

Thanks Rawiri, for the pack-up snacks!

Tuakana/Teina Learning

 Learning from our tuakana

Ngai Takoto Whakatauki -  He iti marangai, tu ana te pahukahuka, He iti pioke no Rangaunu he au tona… 

Small although the pioke may be, great is its wake, as it traverses the might of the Rangaunu harbour.

To help us learn the whakatauki (saying) of our local Ngai Takoto iwi, we asked our expert tuakana (older students) to teach us the words and actions.

Nga mihi Te Manga! You were wonderful teachers and now we know our whakatauki off by heart!!

Our First Pet and Ag Day!

We all had so much fun at Paparore School's first Pet and Ag Day!

Here a just a few entries to have a look at...

Some superb efforts at home to make these miniature worlds!

The decorated cupcakes were made at home.
They were outstanding! Too cute to eat!

It took a few weeks to make our paper plate farm animals.

On the day, everyone made pretty patterns with petals on a vaseline saucer. 

 

Daffodil Day 2022

Today we dressed up in yellow for Daffodil Day. We brought gold coins to school to fundraise for the Cancer Society. Our school raised $370 this year!  Michele painted daffodils on our cheeks with the face paint.

Lykan's funny biscuit

We love our school lunches. Today Lykan found a funny shaped biscuit. One of his friends thought that it looked like a poppy flower. What do you think happened to his biscuit???

Fitness Fun!

Jump Jam Fitness 

We do fitness every Tues, Wed and Fri after morning tea.

The Seniors teach us what to do.

The whole school joins in.

We love exercising to music!
