Week 7 - I Spy A Warmer Winter

Have you felt the chill in the weather lately? We certainly have! Ever wished you didn't have to get into school uniform but wear your warm woolly hat and comfy pants all day? Or go to work in your pyjamas? Or break out your onesie with your slippers?

Some of our wishes came true on Friday. Even though it poured with rain, and then hailed, we weren't chilly at all because we had our Wacky Winter Warmer mufti day. For a gold coin donation we could wear whatever warm, wacky or wintery clothes we wanted. Whoopee! Can you spy a unicorn, a giraffe, a dinosaur, a teacher in a dressing gown, and lots of warm kids?
We were raising money to add items to our Winter Warmer Hampers of dry or tinned grocery items, blankets and pyjamas. There is a stack of flexi-buckets in the office all waiting to be filled with donations from our school community. Just a few things have been brought in so far, and our mufti money will help top up what is still needed at the end of term, when they will be given to Mt Roskill families. If you are able to share some warm goodies with others, please bring them to the school office by Thursday, July 4th.
What would make your winter warmer?

Week 6: Assembly on Winter Warmers Friday

This week it was Manukau's turn to host our school assembly. It is a great chance for us to share all the cool things that we have been learning about with our school community. It is also the time where we get to work on our clear speaking and strong voices for our audience. This skill is especially important as we want to share our ideas clearly with audiences of different sizes. Here is the slideshow of the different things we shared. Manukau did a super job.



It was an extra special assembly because it was also a mufti day at school where we all dressed up in our warm winter clothes. The mufti day donations will contribute to our winter warmer hampers this year. Another great example of the citizenship of the Waikowhai students and school community, helping out where we can.  Below you can see us in action in during Jump Jam in our winter warm clothes.



We would love any feedback you have.  Please feel free to leave a positive, thoughtful and helpful comment, maybe ask us more about what we shared in assembly.
