OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

Lately lots of groups have started up at school and it is great to see so many of Model 2B students popping along to join up and find out more. We have lots of budding guitarists who are going to be learning guitar with Mr Galloway on Wednesday lunchtimes (all ages welcome), and quite a few Year 3 students who are learning drums with Mr Galloway on Tuesday lunchtimes (Year 3 and up).

Children who like building and constructing might like to check out the Construction club that runs on Monday lunchtimes (all ages) or the Be Native Group which is also on Mondays at lunchtime (see Nova's report on this below), or some of you might like to join the Asian Aotearoa group which also runs on Mondays at lunchtime - great if you are keen on learning more about other countries and cultures. If you'd like more information on any of these groups, feel free to talk to Miss B or Mrs O.

BE NATIVE GROUP

This week the Be Native Group started up at GSNS. Nova and Maia went along to check it out. Here is Nova's report on what it is all about.

The Be Native Group (BNG) is about looking after nature and picking up rubbish that people have left and also putting food garbage in the compost bin and tidying up everywhere. It's for Year 3 and up and if you want to go we meet on Mondays at lunchtime in Room 13 (if it's raining) or under the hall (if it's a sunny day).

SWIMMING

On Wednesday at school we started swimming lessons. It was at the DNI pool. M2B went there with me. To get to swimming you go out the gate, then you go along the footpath, then go under the bridge, then you go across the road, past the pet shop, across another road, then you go past New World and then you are there! I love doing overarm because it's just like a silver arrow.

SWIMMING LESSONS

I like swimming and it makes me happy. I go everyday with Model 2B. On the 2nd of March we are not swimming because something is broken at the pool! I hope we go swimming on Monday. I learn to do things like 3 circles on a board, 3 circles without a board, hugging the board and lying down on your back, skulling, holding the board at the end of the board, and breathing in, putting your face in the water and out, and all over again until the end of the pool.

SWIMMING FUN!

On Wednesday I went swimming at DNI pool. I walked to the pool. I went swimming to practise swimming. I love swimming! I learnt swimming on my back. I want to swim in the deep end.

On Wednesday we started swimming. We had to walk to swimming. It was fun. I can't go tomorrow because the pool is broken. I don't know how the pool got broken!

HARRY'S HOLIDAY

Harry is super excited! Tomorrow he is heading off on holiday to Rarotonga with Naomi and her family. Here he is in his swimming togs with a few of his essential travel items - his sunscreen and ipod. It's his first plane ride so he's feeling a little bit nervous. I wonder if he will email Model 2B while he is away? Maybe we will have to wait until he comes back to find out what he gets up to. We can't wait to see his photos! Bon voyage Harry!
