Tough Gal and Guy Challenge

Yesterday, Western Heights took 105 children to the Tough Gal/Guy Challenge. The challenge was to run, walk, crawl or climb around a 1.5 km muddy course. The before and after picture say to all.

In some of the photo's it is hard to spot the people we know, you just need to picture them without the mud!

Mini Literacy Projects

Today we presented our Mini Literacy Projects to each other. I am astounded by the creative ways everyone has used to show case their learning. We have been reading to gain more information on our topic, writing what we have found and improving our oral language by sharing our information with others.

Matariki Breakfast

What an amazing morning! Thank you Whea Trish for organising this fantastic celebration.

We enjoyed some awesome kai and then enjoyed each class presenting an item. We performed a ukelele song, which Mr McLay helped prepare.
