Michelle, I know you were interested in how to 'save' the blog...here is another (reasonably expensive?) permanent option - click here to see how you can have the blog compiled, printed and presented as a book. Please let me know if you go ahead with it!

That's all for now!

Happy Holidays everyone, thank you all for a wonderful year. Such busy learning from the children, help and support from the parents and encouragement from all the blog comments! Don't forget to keep in touch and come back & see me next year. Merry Christmas everyone, love from Mrs Hawkins xx

Great work Benjamin - 175 nights of reading is something to be proud of! And what a great reader you are.

Christmas Concert

Our Junior Christmas concert is this Thursday - we hope you'll be able to come along and watch us shine on stage!
We are supporting the Year 2 classes with the Nativity story, then performing a Kiwi version of the 12 Days of Christmas with "A Pukeko in a Ponga Tree". The concert starts at 9:30am in the Hall - don't be late, I suggest you get your seats early as the Hall is usually bursting at the seams! All welcome.

Our stars keep on shining...

Congratulations to Eric for 75 nights, Reihana for 100 nights and Tessa for 175 nights!
What super stars you are...well done.

Well done Eric & Hannah

Well done Eric -a School Endeavour certificate for your progress learning English.

And Hannah reaches 75 nights...a great achievement!
