Junior Athletics Day


Some of us wrote a recount about Athletics Day.

I went to Athletics Day on Tuesday.  First I did shot put.  Then I did high jump. After that I did running races.  It was the best day ever.  Theo

Some of us reflected on our day.

I loved the running races even though it was the hardest.  Franiu






Running races were hard but I came third.  Mason

Junior Athletics Day was great because I won four races, even the big one.  I didn't win the last one though.  Finn

I found the running easy because I can go fast as lightning!  Joshua

Running and getting a number was my favourite thing.  Catherine

I found the running races a lot hard.  I was trying to run as fast as I could but I couldn't because my normal run isn't that fast.  Jeremy




The high jump was my favourite because it was so fun.  Elizabeth

Great Manners Day in LC1

This morning when I was doing the roll, I said to the children 'If I had a camera, I would take a photo of your great manners this morning.'  Dylan said to me 'Well go get you camera Kerry!'  So I did!!  Here are the photos I took of your amazing children this morning.  Then I showed them how to write and publish a blog post.  I have included some comments from the children :) Feel free to write a comment back for us.

Beach Education Day at Mairangi Bay

Friday 1st April 2016

Well, the weather conditions were not great but we still managed to have an amazing day!  First we spent some time in the surf club finding out about the role of a lifeguard before going on a tour of the club and heading down to the beach for some fun activities and sandcastle building action!












Then we got changed into our togs, took a very deep breath and went in for a dip!!!  





After a hot shower and some lunch, we were ready to listen to the lifeguards again who told us that not only do we need to be safe in the water, we also need to be safe in the sun.  We learnt how to -

SLIP     SLOP     SLAP    WRAP and SLIDE




We were also told what to do if we should get into trouble in the water - put one hand up in the air and float like a starfish.  

Thanks to the team at Mairangi Bay Surf Lifesaving Club and to our brave band of parent helpers!













Easter in LC1

We certainly celebrated Easter in style in LC1.  Firstly we took the opportunity to dress up..........




We also enjoyed our first event organised by our Parent Network - An Easter Egg Hunt AND a shared, very delicious afternoon tea.  Thank you to everyone for making the event such a success.


Swapping our easter egg tokens for the real thing!

Always time for some dancing!


Delicious afternoon tea.

And a few shots of some us enjoying the yummy food! -
