Discovery Morning

What a fantastic finish to the end of our EOTC week. The weather was lovely and most of our Discovery activities were outside making the most of it. Thanks to some awesome parents, Barry, Monica, Ana, Phoebe and Madeline we had the best Discovery morning we have ever had. Our focus was 'Relating to Others', and everyone was busy at different activities helping each other. Here are some of the things we got to do.

Wheels and Kite Day

Today we were allowed to bring our wheels to school. Here are some comments from The Tuis:

" I liked Wheels Day because it was fun because you get to ride your bikes and your scooters and your skates and your skateboards" said Tekafa.

" I liked it when I rode sooooo fast!" said Danijela.

" I liked it because it was fun riding around, it made me happy" said Tess.

" I liked Dakota and Tekafa sharing their bikes and scooters" said Ella.

"I liked it when Danijela and Tialemua were biking close together, Amelie, TK amd Malai liked me because I was sharing my brothers scooter" said Rosa.

"I liked riding my bike and making a kite, it was fun" said Megan.

"I liked flying my kite because it was really windy" said Mouanaki.

" I liked riding my bike wround the school" said Tialemua.

Petone Beach and Settlers Museum

It was a beautiful calm day with just enough cloud cover to keep us from being burnt. We had a session with Jen at The Settlers Museum, where we listened to one of her favourite stories and made our own beautiful rainbow necklaces. Stephen and Aaron cooked sausages for everyone, we made amazing sand sculptors, beach crafts and chilled out with ice blocks. Aren't we lucky to be so close to the beach, Tui make sure you take your family on a visit to Settlers Museum if you have spare time one weekend.

Zoo Trip

The fun continued with our trip to Wellington Zoo. What a wonderful place. We had turns at feeding the beautiful giraffes, hung out very close to the kangaroos and saw lots of fantastic animals. Thank you to all the parents who came along and helped us, we hope you had as much fun as we did.

EOTC WEEK

What a fantastic start to our EOTC week. The sun was shinning and the wind was still. Years 1 to 6 all headed down to McKenzie Baths for a fun swim, then walked over to Petone Rec for a picnic and games afternoon. We all had a really fun day.

Ash Wednesday Mass

On Wednesday Tui attended Ash Wednesday Mass with the rest of our school and parish community. Father Albano said the Mass, he is a regular visitor to Tui. Most weeks he comes to Tui and helps with our reading and writing. Here we are with him after Mass.

Sacred Heart Petone is part of the Duffy Books in Homes programme. This fantastic initiative provides every student with free books during the year and a live show performed at school. Yesterday we all really enjoyed our visit from The Duffy Theater.
