Paddleboarding with SUP Bros

We are so lucky to have Lake Ngatu so close to our Kura! Thank you to Scotty and Jo who helped instil water confidence and water safety skills into all our tamariki on such a magical Summer Monday!

The Great Paparore Sail-Off 2019!

The waka and tall ships made at home as a whanau challenge were extremely impressive! We learnt a lot about design, flotation and salvage!! Thank you for your awesome efforts whanau!
We have also been discussing where our ancestors came from and how they journeyed to Aotearoa.

Summer Time!

Yay! It's the Summer season! Potae on, swim cap on, let's cool off! We are learning to be confident in the water while learning our swimming skills!

Cricket Fun!

Learning Summer cricket skills with Whaea Kea was so much fun!

Soccer Time!

Te Pihi loved their soccer lesson at the end of Term 3. 

They are such great listeners, dribblers and sprinters!

The Minstrel Show!

Paparore School was lucky enough to have the Minstrel come to visit! Our class mascot Hiwi the Kiwi was named after the Minstrel's famous kiwi. We all loved his car, all the fishing advice and the funtastic show!

Julia said: The Minstrel came to school for us. The Minstrel was funny. He called us BooBoo! We have to wear a life-jacket.

Teo said: I went to see the Minstrel and it was fun and the Minstrel told us to bring some wet towels and he taught us to bring some ice too, and a life jacket and he told us to bring a bucket of water.

Isla said: Yesterday at school there was a Minstrel. When they came in their names were Mr and Mrs Minstrel. They taught us to be safe. They said you need a rulerand a life jacket and a water gun.

Mason S said: I liked the Minstrel show because it is a funny show and we learnt some lessons in the hall and we liked his singing for us.

Lunar the Lamb

Kylan had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb.

Its' fleece was white as snow.

Everywhere that Kylan went... 

the lamb was sure to go.

It followed him to school one day...

That was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play...

To see a lamb at school.

Thanks Kylan and Mrs Bainbridge for bringing Lunar the Lamb to school. Lunar is only two weeks old and followed Kylan whenever he bleated! We love seeing our students looking after their pets.
