Explore Time

Term 2. 2017.

Akeake Explore Time has got off to a great start in Term 2.   

One of our groups got creative with rocks, and made their very own pet Ladybug. 

Another lucky group got to have some Pony time.  This group got to spend time learning how to look after the ponies, grooming the ponies and taking them through an obstacle course.  The children had a great time interacting with the ponies and we are very much looking forward to seeing them again next week.

Welcome Miss Cosgrove!

Miss Cosgrove is our new teacher in Room 7 and this was her first week at Kaiapoi North School. 
We learnt that her favourite colour is green and her favourite food is pizza. She has taught us about minibeasts and life cycles this week.

"I like that she tells us funny jokes" - Riley B

"She is really nice to us and listens to us" - Zach

"She lets us choose our own mat spots each term and we watched life cycle videos with her." - Emma

"I like how she gives us fun things to do when we finish our work." - Samantha

"She is going to bring magnetics for us to play with." - Tom

Welcome to Kaiapoi North School Miss Cosgrove. We are excited to have you in our class!

Kate Valley Landfill

On Tuesday and Wednesday the Akeake team visited Kate Valley Landfill.

For health and safety reasons we had to stay on the bus. We had Paul from Kate Valley show us around and tell us all about all about the landfill.

Our favourite parts were stopping for morning tea in Amberley at the park and looking all around the landfill. It was really interesting!

Children's Day - 11 March 2017

   

CHILDREN'S DAY

On Friday 11th March our school celebrated Children's Day. We all participated in Top Team run by Sport Canterbury, went to our buddy classes and did awesome activities, and choose to either go to the pool or went to an amazing magic show. 

We celebrated being children by having fun, working together and showing community for our school friends and the wider world. 

Throughout the day we had a sausage sizzle and mufti day to fundraise for Kaiapoi North School's sponsor child, Daniel and his community.  - Mr Henderson
