Healthy Lunch

Hi all,

Next Wednesday 13th July Matai syndicate will be having a shared lunch.  Following on from our Healthy Body, Healthy Mind topic we would love the children to bring along a plate of healthy food to share for lunch.  We have discussed some ideas in the classroom and we encourage you to talk about these and other options with your children.

If you have any questions, please come and see me....thanks Mrs Siave

Cheapskates Visit

On Thursday 30th June, Luke from Cheapskates came to visit our school.  They were kindly donating their services to schools in the Canterbury area who were affected by the earthquake.  Luke showed us how to correctly wear the safety gear and then we were allowed to try roller blading and skate boarding.  There was a ramp for those students who were feeling confident to take a risk!  There were a few tumbles but everyone enjoyed themselves and many children were able to try something for the first time.  Thanks Cheapskates - we had a blast!

Flax Weaving

We were very lucky today - Reuben's Mum, Dad and Aunty came in to teach us all about flax weaving! We learnt about how people use flax in their lives eg bags, clothing, ropes and even shoes!  Reon showed us which part of the flax bush to cut and then Vicky and Chrystal taught us how to weave a flower.  It was tricky at first but we all managed to complete our piece of work and everyone felt very proud of their efforts.  Reon told us that it is traditional to give away the first piece that you make, so the class have given their flowers to Mrs Siave to display within the school.  Everyone had a wonderful time and we are very grateful to Reuben's family for giving up their time to pass on and share their knowledge and skills.

Break Dancing with Solcypher

Today Miguel and Karl came to Woodend School to demonstrate their break dancing and teach us some new moves.  We had lots of fun and it was great to see everyone giving it a go!  Rm 15 was very talented and even had our very own caterpillars - go April and Conor!!

For those who are interested the Solcypher dance crew will be holding classes in the Chevier Centre on Tuesdays which will be aimed at 8-13 year olds. The first block will start on Tuesday the 7^th of June at 3.30pm-4.30pm. If you are interested give them a call on the numbers provided on the flyer.
