Crazy weather last night

WINDY! Hope everyone managed to get some sleep last night. My husbands BBQ ended up crashing into his work truck which made him a little grumpy. Here's a photo from Triny's place.

Book Week

Week 5 was Book week. On the Monday of Book Week we had a whole school dress up day - come as your favourite book character. Piper B and Sam won a prize for best dressed Yr 5! Well done to everyone who put in the effort to dress up.

Football Festival

Last week was our last football session. The girls were split from the boys and a few White Ferns helped run some games. The boys also were split into teams and they played a mini tournament. Here are some photos from the afternoon.

The girls were also given a certificate, postcards and signatures!

CBD trip

Today the senior school went on a trip into the Christchurch CBD. First we hopped in the bus and went to the museum to meet up in our groups. Then we got the maps and scavenger hunt and went exploring the CBD. We went to the city council building where Zach's dad works. There were stepping stones going up to the building and most people climbed them for fun. We also went to the Square and found out about the first four ships that sailed  into Lyttelton. We also saw the broken cathedral and read about the new things that are coming to the Christchurch Square. We also went into the new cathedral made out of cardboard (one of the coolest parts of the day). We were all tired and hungry when we came back to school.  Thanks for the parents who came!
