Grandparents' daytime performance

The daytime performance was great.Everyone was awesome! Well done Kauri!

New Teacher

Today Kauri were treated to a new teacher! Liam did a great job of explaining fractions to the class. Well done Liam!

Dress rehearsal

Everything seemed to go well with our dress rehearsal this morning! 

Finished...almost!

The teachers and teacher aides pulled in a mammoth effort to get ready for the dress rehearsal of Tinker tomorrow. They got the hall looking really nice while Rob got the anglerfish masks finished. Thanks again to Mel who came in with the fish prop for Jake. All we need now are the students to do their awesome performances!

Cephalopods

Thank you to Mel, Aileen, Lucy and Alicia for all of your help getting the cephalopod masks ready for production. They look awesome!

nearly there...

Today we started sticking the teeth to jaws and painting the eyes. They are so close!

Helpers

Thanks again to Mel and Aileen who have been helping us in Kauri to get our anglerfish masks ready for the Tiddler production. This week they were painting the glow in the dark paint onto the ferocious teeth with Kodin.

Glow in the dark rods

Today we borrowed Willy's new drill to fix the glow in the dark rods to the masks. When the ping pong balls arrive they will make the fleshy bait at the end of the lure.

Painting Jaws and Teeth

This week we have been getting closer to finishing our masks. We are now adding the moving jaws and teeth. We are even painting the teeth in a glow in the dark colour!

Enviroday

Great Enviroday today. A group of students went to Taupo Bay to do a beach clean up audit, Mrs Bates made mandarin jam with the food group and Rob's group used the worm wee from Puriri to feed the fruit trees in the orchard.

Flagpole

Today we hoisted the flag for the first time. T.K. said the karakia for us and Cooper had the honour of raising the flag as he is our 2020/21 enviro student leader.

Phonics

Kauri are really living their phonics lessons. This week we have been practising er sounds. Look how many different combinations we found!

Anglerfish Masks

Today we dabbed dry black paint and glitter onto our masks and made the fins. Rob has ordered the glow sticks and glow in the dark paint so we really are getting there. The production dance is looking great too.

Dune Restoration Planting Day

Today Rob, Cooper Nichols, Leah, Bella and Luke Jenner Mattock helped out Ngati Kahu by planting riparian plants at Lake Waiporohita in the Karikari peninsula. We helped to plant 2000 plants before lunchtime and had a great time with students from Taipa, Mangonui and Paparore.

Anglerfish masks

Today we put another coat of paint on our masks and started fitting the moving bottom jaw to the masks.
