How children grow up?

These pictures have surfaced of some of the M team children in their younger days. As they leave the M team at the end of this year and enter the A team, you must think where have all the years gone. But don't worry, the years are coming where you can pull out those photos that they forgot about and post on the classblog. It's not embarrasing, but if they don't behave...

The Three Little Pigs

The Three Little Pigs
Once upon a time there were three chubby little pigs who lived with their Mother. One day their Mother said "It is time for you to go and find your own house for you to live in. Don't make it the easy way or the wolf could smash your house and eat you. Now go." So they went. They walked along the path looking for a good spot to build their house. On their way they met a skinny looking man selling straw. The first little pig said "could I please have some of that straw?" "yes" said the man. Then the first little pig ran as fast as a cheetah to a spot he saw before that would be the perfect spot to build a house so he decided to build it there. The other two pigs came past and said "Why is your house made of straw?" "It is easier to build" replied the first little pig. "Have you decided what yours is going to be made of?" "Mine is going to be made of sticks " said the second little pig. "Just remember What mother pig said, Dont make your house the easy way!"

Water Safety at Kings

Water Safety day at Kings Swim school

On Friday at Kings swim school it was water safety day. We were learning how to survive if we were in a river. First we got our boards and pushed the water to the centre with our boards. One group had to swim through without goggles! Then we swapped over and we got to swim through the current that the other group made. This was to make the conditions more like a river. Next we got into a circle and held hands and moved anti clockwise then quickly moved clockwise. It was difficult to move against the current when we changed direction but it made a whirlpool. Did you know, on average 105 New Zealanders die each year from Drowining. So you can see why when you ask your parents if you can stop swimming lessons, they say "NO!"

King's Swimming Term 4

The children in Room 8 are swimming this week and next week at King's Swim School. The children have thoroughly enjoyed their time at King's and they have been having a lot of fun. Some children have made their own fun. Currently the fashion is to use your goggles as a head band to make your hair stick up, as you can see from our Rm 8 model.

The children are on their best behaviour at King's all the time. They're pretty impressive!

Mister A

Be Inspired - Have A Go with Parafed

Next year the world's elite Paralympic athletes will descend upon Christchurch in a bid to be crowned World Champion! Notices have gone home with the children to day as we were visited by the organisers for the event and Parafed. The children enjoyed having relays in the wheelchairs and exploring how NZ's best athletes compete.

If you would like another notice, I do have spare. Go New Zealand.
