The Next Dancing with the Stars Contestants

A group of Room 12 children have been practicing their ballroom dancing skills over the holidays preparing for their performance last night.  They were spectacular and absolutely stole the show.  All their dedication to rehearsals paid off and I was extremely proud of them.  The hall had all these amazing lights in all sorts of colours which looked great and added to the drama but played havoc for me to get some good photos.  However, I will post these to give you all an idea of how gorgeous they were.

Medha and Oliver

Daisy and Lincoln

Anya and Daniel

Shavannah and Finn

Anahera and Blake

I am so very very proud of them!

 They are proud of themselves and each other too!

 What can we do in Room 12 this term to top that? 

Mini Caretakers at Ilam

The children are very excited to be given the responsibility of being mini caretakers this term.  They all willingly signed up for the post and were assigned their own day.  This is a chance for the children to show more care for our school environment.  Here is a photo of Ropeta and Oliver kitted out in their caretaker uniform.

 

Our Marvellous Monsters

Well, it took weeks...but we got there!  And don't they look amazing.  After designing, redesigning, winding wool, unwinding wool, rewinding wool, cutting, gluing, and changing our minds (a lot), our monsters are finished.  Each has their own name - ask your child what their monster is called.  They really became a part of the class.  Bright colours, unique features and many accessories - these monsters are just gorgeous!  This was one proud class, and so they should be.

The power of the word YET!

We might not be able to do it YET, but with a bit of hard work, we will try our best to learn!
