A Sunny Afternoon!

The Possibilty Patch WAS Possible Today!

Phoofed Out Fairy Fabricators

We have had a busy day on the production line today! Thank you to Tracy for all her help and encouragement.

By lunchtime we'd painted all the bodies and shoes.

By home time MOST fairies had their skirts on.
Tau kē koutou!

Paying it Forward

When we heard that the junior classrooms and the library at Paraparaumu Primary School had been damaged in a fire we decided we wanted to send them messages of aroha and hope. 

After the Christchurch earthquakes many children from all over New Zealand sent us messages letting us know they were thinking of us. It made us feel good. Now is our chance to pay that support forward.
We hope our messages and cards do give them hope. We also sent them the books we won during Book Week in the Book Olympics - we know they'll love them.

False Fire Alarm

What a crazy day to have a false alarm that meant we had to line up outside!!
At least we know that we can remain calm and follow the routines. I felt proud of you all as you huddled together like Emperor penguins in Antarctica to keep warm and a little bit drier than you would otherwise have been.

Wombling With Our Buddies

Today after lunch we went wombling with our buddy class. Can you see how much rubbish we found? We felt disappointed about that. The name wombling comes from a t.v programme I used to watch when I was little.

These are the words for the Wombling song. They might give you an idea about why what we did today is called wombling.

THE WOMBLING SONG Underground, overground, wombling free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. Making good use of the things that we find, Things that the everyday folks leave behind. Uncle Bulgaria, He can remember the days when he wasn? behind the times, With his map of the world. Pick up the papers and take them to Tobermory! Wombles are organised, work as a team. Wombles are tidy and Wombles are clean. Underground, overground, wombling free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we! People don't notice us, they never see, Under their noses a Womble may be. We womble by night and we womble by day, Looking for litter to trundle away. We're so incredibly, utterly devious Making the most of everything. Even bottles and tins. Pick up the pieces and make them into something new, Is what we do! Underground, overground, wombling free, The Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. Making good use of the things that we find, Things that the everyday folks leave behind.
