Bubble Trouble
This week we had the pleasure of celebrating one of our school values, 'Diversity or Rereketanga' in a very special way. We learned that some people in India celebrate a person who has died by doing something for others to make them happy, so that the person who died will be happy. What a lovely tradition. Each student at the school was privileged to be given a gift bag that included a large bubble maker and . . . this did make us very happy!! Thank you Mr and Mrs Patel for your generosity. We are feeling sad for you for your loss and also that you were not able to go back to India to be with your family.
Fun in the sun making masses of bubbles.
What a wonderful way to end the day!
We experimented with blowing, waving and running with the bubble wands. Large and small bubbles were carried in the breeze across the field and some even rose above the trees and floated across the road towards the lake.
If you look carefully at the photos you may see the bubbles!
Bubbles galore!
We love bubbles! Thank you Preet's family for making us very happy! We hope you are happy too!
Keeping fit and having fun
We also had Matua Garth in to teach us some more games. We loved our learning with the hula hoops. It is great being able to use the whare on wet days.

Today we dressed up in green to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day. We are all cheeky little leprechauns ready to have some fun! We watched two videos to learn about the history of St Patrick's Day and to find out about leprechauns. Then we wrote some interesting stories.
The little leprechauns can certainly dance! They loved joining in the 'Jump Jam' session for school fitness.
