Term Four 2009

Read on for a flavour of some of the activities the children have been involved in this term . . .

For photos of these events please see the Picture Gallery page.

End of Year Farewells and Class BBQ

At the close of the year it was appropriate to recognise our achievements during the year. In particular heartfelt thanks went to Tracey for her dedication and determination in seeing the class open at the start of this year. Tracey and her family will be leaving for the UK shortly and she will be greatly missed.

Neville Johnson, Principal of Matakana School was also acknowleged for his support and the trust gave him a lovely Magnolia tree. Neville will be retiring at the end of this year and MMPT wishes him and his family all the best.

Jane received a gift basket from the Trust and the children were delighted to give her their artwork (see below) as a thank you for her dedication and hard work during this year. 

The class is sad to be seeing two children leave at the end of this year Rosie will be going to Auckland and Ellie is off to the UK. They were presented with a scrapbook of their years activities from Jane, and a photo album from the Trust as a momentum of their time in Room 15.

Art Project

Under the guidance of Virginia, Carlie and Leeanne the children worked away on a special art project to be an 'end of year' gift for Jane. They had a wonderful, creative time and the results were spectacular!

School Athletics Day

On Monday 14 November the children participated in the school athletics day. A great day was had by all.

“I loved the long jump and the three-legged race” Ethan G
“I loved the 200m race right around the field and we all got a house point” Ethan R
"I came 5th in the 200m race. My mum and dad were cheering for me. My dad took a photo of me"  Mackenzie
