Worser Bay sure has some talent!

Huge SHOUTOUT to all of the participants, finalists, organiser and audiences who helped make Worser Bay's Got Talent happen.

Here is some writing about it from the organisers.

There were so many good acts and everyone had lots of fun auditioning and no one got upset that they didn’t get in. Also everyone did something creative and did something different. Our top finalists were really happy that they got in but it all came down to the finals the five finalists all did really well they were Talia and Eva, Alex B, Coco, Liam, Lucas and Alastair.

WBS election

Talking about being powerful we gave the students a chance to vote for each political party. And... it's a landslide to Labour on 57%, with the Greens on 27% and National on 12%. Let's see what the rest of NZ decides tomorrow.

Here's to the Coaches!

A MASSIVE shoutout to the Coaches

For a small school we have a big presence on the local sporting scene.  We compete with super energy, the best sporting attitudes and with great teamwork on display. But, none of this would be possible without the people who make it happen; a very dedicated group of parents, THE COACHES!

We would like to express our gratitude for the time, commitment and energy which these people have put in over the year.  They have ridden the highs and lows, been there to encourage and support and most importantly to create ongoing enthusiasm in our kids for Sports.  For many this is an entry into lifelong activity and our coaches have made this a positive experience.

We all want to say a huge Thank You for supporting and managing the teams.  Amazing work!  He tino pai o mahi!

Student Led Conferences: Our Final Offer!

SLCs: Be in Fast:

Wednesday 27th Morning 8:15 we are organising a Wednesday morning slot for SLC’s for anybody who has not been able to get into school during the day.

The Student Led Conferences thus far have been incredible with kids talking about and leading their parents through their learning independently.  It represents real ownership of their learning and shows how far we have all come. The kids have all spoken so confidently!

Sadly we will not be having student led workshops.  These have been great too and really diverse; a haka workshop, sketching, coding, number talks, sprints, science and so on.  Great work kids!

Character Day with Gabrielle and Wanwan's whanau group

 Today we got into whanau groups to learn some more about character strengths. We created some plays showing different character strengths and others watching gave us feedback and told us what character strengths our plays had. Humour was a strength of everyone - come to assembly on Friday for an example.

We also watched this video about two frogs... can you work out what character strengths they were using?



Then, like the frogs, we also made butter from cream. Ask us how! Some groups used real perseverance because they were trying and trying with milk instead of cream!!

Lastly we made up our own games especially focused on one or two of the character strengths. It was a fin day together.


Character day.
Today was character day and we did all sorts of fun activities in our whanau group which in case you don't know is a group with our siblings and some people from a Autahi, tautoru, mahutonga and matariki. My whanau group made butter from cream and we made up our own games and demonstrated how to play the games we made up and the last thing we did was make up our own plays.

Little Garden Classroom Kit

School Kit have kindly given us a Little Garden Classroom Kit. In the kit there is a box of 30 seed pots that contain seeds, soil pods, pots, labels, growing instructions and a class seedling tray with a sprouting and re-potting guide. This year Little Garden has a pollination theme and the seeds are an assortment of 3-4 bee-loving, flowering plants. 

Our Student Council Gardening Group have set to work. Watch this space!
