Aaron Smith Surprise Visit

Aaron Smith at Halcombe School

A few lucky boys from Room 2 had a wonderful opportunity to meet All Black Aaron Smith when he came to visit Halcombe School yesterday.
The boys got to ask him questions and had a photo taken with him. Thanks Aaron, you are awesome and such a wonderful inspiration to our keen rugby juniors!  A link to the video of their meeting is on our blog.  Here is a photo 

Buddy Class Picnic and Games

On Monday Room 2 and 5 had a shared lunch.   We played rounders and capture the flag, as well as a series of fun relay races.  We finished with a wonderful feast of delicious  goodies!  Thanks Room 5, we have had so much fun this year being your buddy class.

Slip, slop, slap and slide!

Room 2 had so much fun on Friday morning.  Room 6 kindly set up a fabulous water slide and room 2 had a blast running and sliding across it.  Thanks so much Room 6, it was awesome!

Our Class Trip

Trip to the Farms

We had a wonderful day out on Wednesday. The first stop was Blunden's ostrich farm.  The children saw the incubators, held ostrich eggs and patted the baby ostriches.  Then we drove on to the Thompson's goat farm.  After washing their gumboots and hands, they were allowed to climb into the pens and play with the kid goats.  The goats were nibbling their clothes and jumping up at them.  After a wonderful picnic lunch on the Thompson's lawn, we drove up the Abbiss' sheep farm.  The children had a turn at shearing and drenching the sheep.  It was a fabulous day out!  Thank you to all the parents who kindly came to help make this day so special, we couldn't have done it without you.
