Dress Up Day

What a fun day today in Kindle 2 Zoo. We had an amazing group of mostly well behaved animals at school today. Duty was interesting with lots of children 'in character'. Thank you for all the items donated for our P.T.A. quiz night raffles.

Friday Fun

What a busy time in Kindle 2 at Discovery Time on Friday.

Mid-Winter Takeaway Tea

On Friday 22 June, the Junior Team are having a takeaway tea from 5.30 - 6.30pm. Families of Kindle 2 children are invited to bring their dinner/tea (picnic, takeaways or whatever your family would like to eat) and a drink (non-alcoholic) and come to the classroom and eat. The purpose is to give parents a chance to meet the parents of their child's friends and classmates. If children go outside to play after they have eaten, they will need to be supervised by parents.

Miss Kowalewski's Last Day

Today was Miss Kowalewski's last day in Kindle 2. She has been with us for 5 weeks and taught English, Maths, Science and Phys Ed. We will miss her, but we hope she has great memories of her time in Kindle 2 at George Street Normal School and has a great trip back to the United States.

Thanks Miss Kowalewski.....

Skittle Science

Miss Kowalewski did some skittle science with us today. We drew a plan, predicted what would happen, then tested our predictions....... Fun!

Red Riding Robyn Hood

New Zealand Playhouse came to school today to perform the show "Red Robyn Riding Hood". It was fast paced and lots of fun. Here is the blurb for the show: King George has lost the plot! In his never-ending quest to build bigger palaces, giant walls and enormous statues of himself he has raised the Land Far Far Away tax rate to 101%! Jack and Jill can’t afford to get a pail of water, Little-Bo-Peep has to sell her sheep, and even the Princess is so hungry she ate the pea. When even the bravest of Knights are too scared to stand up to him, the Land Far Far Away cries out for a hero to put a stop to the madness of the King. Luckily their cries are heard by a mysterious red hooded figure with a bow and arrow, a basket of goodies and some very unlikely ‘Big Bad’ backup. 

As well as a performance that had us laughing all the way through, the play challenged us to think about traditional gender roles, bravery and standing up for what's right.

Book Character Dress Up Day

There were some great book characters in Kindle 2 today. The children are on their way to the book character parade in the school hall.

Mrs Dakers was too chicken to go....
