Art work on display

In April this year, the Year 6s at Colin’s school did a Rocky Shore theme. Then they had to create a piece of artwork – collage which could include paper, sewing, stuffing some pieces etc on a large piece of Hessian. I took some photos then and today Colin brought home at note saying it was on display at Capital E for the duration of the school holidays!

Gymnastics Competition Squad!

On 28th August, we received a letter from the Gym Club inviting Ross to try out for the Competition Squad the following week. He was so excited! he couldn't wait to tell people! On Friday 1st September he got so sick that he spent the weekend in bed. I kept him home on the Monday but he went along to the trials. feeling as sick as a dog. He worked so hard trying to show how well he could do and that his attitude was great. He got home exhausted and too tired even to eat

He then spent the rest of the week in bed really feeling not well at all with a horrible cough virus that kept us all awake at night. Week two and he was still too sick to go to school but we got THE phone call - yes he was in! He was so happy!

He spent the rest of the week recovering and only went to school for two hours on Thursday and Friday. It is Sunday today and he is so much better

Photography lessons

from the wonderful Ngaire Bartlam! At a class at SENz where I was T/A for Ngaire, she told us how to get good photos of ourselves. "Someone else needs to take the photo and that person has to stand on a chair photographing down. A bit of lippy and you're away.

Ross turns 12

Ross chose once again to have his party at Tawa pool with an inflatable. His friends arrived at 3pm when we had birthday cake as Adrian was flying to Auckland later that night. We then went down to the pool where the boys spend two hours having lots of fun on their own private inflatable.















We came back home for home-made pizza and jelly and ice cream. Then they went downstairs to play PS and watch movies on Adrian's new home theatre. Ross had a wonderful day - as usual!
