Sienna said, "I liked the Masked Parade because it was good fun and cool."

Kaylie said, " I watched the Masked Parade and it was fun because there were lots of people."

Charlotte said, "We had a bluish, green mask on our face and I had a black leotard with a cross at the back and it had sparkles all over it. It had a pink on the bottom of the dress."

Carter said, " I liked the Masked Parade and I liked where we walked. Everyone was cheering and we were walking to the parking lot. We walked almost up to the park and then we turned."

James said, "I thought the Masked Parade was kinda cool. You had to dress up in funny outfits and you had to walk a long way. Some of the kiwis looked funny.

Stepping Out Dance Lessons

Canadian Games

At the moment we have two trainee teachers from Canada. One is in St. Vincent (Krista) and the other, Emma, is in our room. They are here for 6 weeks.
Yesterday Krista and Emma took the two classes out for the first session on 'Canadian Games'. They taught us how to play 'Giants, Wizards & Elves', which was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Trip to Founders Park

All of the classes walked to Founders Park to have a look around, as part of our 'Then and now' unit. The children walked with their buddies, who were very good at looking after them.
When we got to the park we had morning tea and then split back into our classes. We walked (some of us ran) around the venue in small groups.
It was a great day and the children were able to sit on/ in some of the vehicles. which was very exciting. We had lunch there and Mrs Hockley joined us for this.
After that we went on the playground, which seemed swamped by the whole school - great fun.
We stopped at another park on the way home but unfortunately the weather threatened a change and we headed back to school.
Trafalgar were quite tired by the time we reached school and we had some 'blob out' time.
