Christchurch Airport Christmas Singing

On Friday last week a group of 50 children traveled to Christchurch Airport to sing for people waiting for their flights. They sang some Kapa Haka, played ukulele, performed Jump Jam and sang some of our favourite songs.

They did extremely well and we received very positive feedback from the airport staff and the public.

We are so proud of all the fabulous children!

Kiwiana in Pohutukawa

This week we have been learning about things that are special to New Zealand.

Take a look at our kiwi birds and our Kiwiana jandals....we think they are pretty cool!

SOSCARS 2015 Performance

Kia Ora team

Well today is the day!

We are so excited to share with you what we have been learning this term. We have two performances today one at 1:30pm and the second at 7pm. 

All the children will bus to Hornby High school for this afternoons performance and will return to school by 3pm today for pick up. 

This evening if you could drop off your child by 6:50pm at the latest. Pick up will be at 8pm. The children will need to come in their costumes for the evening performance. 

There are a few tickets for this afternoons performance but tonight's performance is a sell out. 

If your child is tired in Thursday morning they can stay at home or come in late. 

We hope to see you all today at our performances. If I don't say so myself it is looks pretty amazing really. 

Thanks 

The teachers of the amazing Pohutukawa children. 

Production Practice

This afternoon the whole junior school got together to practice our production.  

 

We spent a lot of time also practicing how we would enter the stage and what being an audience member looks like. 

Remember to pick up your tickets from the office. They are selling out quickly. 

Story and milk!

We really like story and milk in Pohutukawa!

Junior athletics day!

Hi team

The weather is looking good for today. 

Remember the children can come in sport mufti but do still need their school sun hats. Also a named drink bottle would be helpful. 

We will begin at 1:30 on the court by Pohutukawa. 

We look forward to seeing you there!

Practice for what?

Guess what we are practicing for?

Colouring

Cars and trains

Family corner

And lots more
