Congratulations

There are lots of people in Room 3 who show H.E.A.R.T. But special congratulations  go to Rangihana who won the year two H.E.A.R.T. award at yesterdays special assembly.

 Rangihana and the other winners.






Congratulations for showing so much H.E.A.R.T.

On the trees

They say it's starting to look a lot like Christmas at Wellington Airport. 














The reason it looks like Christmas is the Christmas trees that are decorated with the baubles that we and children from other Kids Can Schools decorated.


Whaea Deb saw them at the airport and said they look pretty stunning.

Can you see Akenese's bauble? 

Wow! Look at the beautiful trees. 

Tennis

Isaac has been coming to Russell School to teach us how to play tennis.
He comes on a Friday.



We have lessons with Room 2.

We like playing tennis.
Thank you Isaac for teaching us

Mele was 6.

Her mum brought this beautiful cake for us to share and she also brought ice cream and cones. It was delicious! Thank you Mele for sharing your yummy cake and ice cream with all of us.

Beautiful baubles

Kids Can asked if a few children could each decorate a Christmas Bauble for a very special tree at Wellington Airport.
Whaea Lynda worked with some children from Rooms 1, 2 and 3.
Don't they look beautiful! Well done!!

Armistice Day

Every year one of the youngest children at school gets to help the oldest child lay a wreath for Armistice Day. This year it was Joe.

Can you see Joe? He is in the blue top, standing next to Xavier.




They did a great job of laying the wreath.
