Wonderful Wheels Day


On Wednesday we brought along our favourite 'wonderful wheels.'

 

  

  We remembered our helmets to keep our heads safe and used our great balancing skills around the cones to really enjoy this special fun time! 

 

 

We zoomed around the courts on our scooters with our classmates from Room 17. 

   

 
             


Some of the children brought their scooters, some brought bikes, some brought skateboards and some had shoes with wheels.                      

  


We also had fun on our 'Wonderful Wheels Day' with our brothers and sisters from Room 12 who joined us outside to have fun on our 'wonderful wheels.'

               

Term 2 - Week 3 - School Assembly Certificate

Awarded for great leadership in the classroom

Howick Primary School 50th Jubilee

Last week Howick Primary School celebrated its 50th birthday.

On Friday we tried to bury the time capsule, but it absolutely poured down, so we tried again on Monday with great success. Room 17 made a special page to go in the time capsule with our names and favourite things about school on it. We also created a page each to go in the capsule which will be dug up again 50 years from now.
















On the weekend the school had lots of visitors including past principals, teachers, staff, and students.

Room 17 Swimming

Due to a wonderful term of sunny weather we enjoyed a full term of swimming this year.  Thank you to all the parent helpers who came along and helped with some of our afternoon lessons.  We love swimming, especially using the noodles in different ways to help us float.
