Participating and Contributing - Athletics Day

Athletics Day gives the B4 children a great opportunity to display the Key Competencies of 

Participating and Contributing.

Mrs. McK was lucky enough to be with the Yr 3s as they went to each of the events.

It was wonderful to see the children competing well, and supporting each other.

Hello to Our Quad-Blogging Buddies

This year we are going to be quad-blogging with three other classes in New Zealand.

Hello to ...

Clyde School Rm 6

Broadlands School Rm 4

Mahora School Super 15

Quad-blogging was an idea originally developed by 

Deputy Mitchell in England, 

as a way for four classes to connect via their class blogs.

Over the years, the children who have been in B4 have 

quad-blogged with classes overseas, and in New Zealand.

We are looking forward to meeting our 2017 friends and sharing some learning together!

Kiwiana Pictures

During our first week back at school, the children made artworks with Mrs. W, to enter into the local A and P Show. 
(A and P means Agricultural and Pastoral).

They based their artworks on Kiwiana - items that relate to our unique culture and heritage in New Zealand.
