Post-it Note Car

The Year 8 students decided to play a bit of a joke on Whaea Jodi before school finished. She thought it was quite funny!

Hākari at Taumutu

On Wednesday, December 1st Kererū 5 went out to Taumutu for Noho Marae. On the Thursday evening they invited friends & whānau out for a hākari. It was a great evening.

Mau Rākau

Every week this year students from Woolston School have had the opportunity to do Mau Rākau with Matua Jade Morgan. Here is K1 all taking part in a fun session.

School Picnic at Spencer Park

On Wednesday, December 1st the whole school went to Spencer Park for a Picnic Day. As you can see everyone chilled out and had lots of fun.
At 1:30pm the Juniors had a surprise visit from Santa who arrived on a motorised sleigh and threw out lollies for everyone. It was a great end to the day.

Mitchell is a Star!

Mitchell was placed 3rd in the 10 Year Old Boys High Jump. Here are a few of the photos showing him on his way to success.

Canterbury Athletics Sports

On Tuesday, November 30th, a team of 6 students from Woolston School represented us at the Canterbury Zone Athletics Sports. There were over 170 schools represented at the sports event, so it was a big achievement for our students to get this far.
All six students performed superbly, with Mitchell Dehn excelling in high jump and gaining 3rd place for the Canterbury 10 year old boys. Well done team.

 Reuben runs a close 3rd in his heat.

 Tamati got 9th in long jump.

Trees Bulldozed!

It looks very bare and boring without the trees.
We hope they plant some more to make it look better.

It is sad that the trees by the new dental clinic got pushed down because they were in the wayfor their new car park. 

A man knocked it down with his digger.

I felt sad because the trees were special. It looks bad without the trees.

I hope some trees will get planted so we can see them grow.

It looked much better when the trees were still there!

Hat Parade

The junior school, Team Piwakawaka, had a hat parade on Tuesday, November 9^th because it was Cup Day.

Adults go to the races dressed up fancy. Lots of them wear hats.

We made our hats out of paper and cardboard. We got a long strip of cardboard and wrapped it around the person’s head and stapled it. Then we stapled on lots of other brightly coloured paper.

When we had finished decorating our hats we went to the Hat Parade and each class paraded with their hats. It was very fun. We got to take our hats home after school so we could show our parents.
