SAS - What a great time we had!

Room 19 - YOU ALL ROCK!
I had a fantastic 2 days with you.  You tackled the challenges extremely well and I loved the way you all took a risk and gave things a go.  This is what made it such a great experience.  Here are some photos from Aiden's Dad and Jade's Dad.


A huge, big, enormous thank you to the parents who helped out over the two days and a massive, mammoth thanks to the parents who stayed the night as well.  Awesome!

Bula!

Jade is in Fiji.  I wonder if she stayed at this hotel?

I wonder if it will be the best holiday destination she has been to?

What is the best place you have visited and WHY?

This was one of The Chambers Family best holiday destinations.  It was up on the Sunshine Coast in Australia.  We stayed at these apartments AND the BEST thing was the 75 metre swimming pool.  That's almost as long as a rugby field.  The pool snaked around the front of each apartment.  It was AMAZING.

This picture is of a place in Korea, on Jeju Island.  I wonder if Sungju stayed here?

I'll be going up to my Mum & Dad's for a couple of days.  This means that I will be helping my Dad around the property. Gardening, weeding, mowing the feijoa paddock and orchard. The photo below is of me mowing the paddock before Christmas. 
I'll also be coming into school to get things ready for term 3.  What a busy term it will be!

My Exciting Weekend - By Slithering Sam

I have gone away for the weekend. I went on a big plane. They had delicious sushi and licorice allsorts on it too. I have seen a really big building that was designed by a man named Jorn Utzon and was opened by Queen Elizabeth on the 20th of October 1973. I also went across a structure that was opened on the 19 of March 1932. The local people call it 'The Coat Hanger.' Can you guess where I am for Queens Birthday weekend? I can't wait to see you all on Tuesday so I can tell you all about my travels.

Love from

Slithering Sam

Room 19's Awesome Assembly

Our current topic, as you are aware, is The Solar System and systems within that system. The assembly item reflected some of this learning.

Our first song is '12 Months' and the second song is '4 Seasons'.  The children choreographed the moves themselves.

For those of you who were unable to make it to the assembly, it will give you an idea of how well your children performed. OUTSTANDING!

Please feel free to leave a comment below ;-)

Mrs Chambers Graduates - The Best Part of My Holiday!

In the holidays I graduated with a Bachelor of Education. It was an exciting day. The first thing I did was to pick up my gown, trencher and hood. I drove home very excited as I was eager to put on my 'costume' to show Bradley and Sacha. We had lunch with my Mum & Dad and Mr Chambers' Mum and Dad. Mrs Kilkolly arrived with her 2 kids, James & Neve. They gave me a big bunch of flowers that smelt divine. After lunch it was time to drive into Takapuna. I had to wait at the start of the march. I waited with Mr van Buesekom's sister, Marianne. I met her during my first paper. All of a sudden we could hear bagpipes being played and we started to walk all along the shops of Takapuna. We got to walk on the road! When we got into the hall we went upstairs while our families were arriving and finding their seats. It seemed like we waited for HOURS. Finally we got to walk into the theatre. Once again the bagpipes were playing, piping us to our seats. After a few speeches it was my turn to get 'capped'. The Chancellor (boss of the University) held a trencher over my head and then it was official! I had a Bachelor of Education. When the ceremony had finished I met my family in the foyer where we had some photos taken. Then we all went to Bolero and had a celebration with some of my friends and family. I had such a great day. I can't wait to hear about the best part of your holidays.
