Kiwisports at the Brightwater Domain

On Wednesday the 26th March we joined together with 4 other schools in our region for a fun filled morning of sporting activities. Take a look at some of the things we got up to...

A Visit From the Life Education Mobile Classroom and Harold

We were very excited on Thursday and Friday of this week because Hope School had a visit from Harold's Classroom.
Harold said there were some Very Important People in the truck and when we got inside we found the Important People were US!
In the Class we learnt lots about ourselves and that we are all special and unique.

The letter j

Today we were practicing the sound that the letter j makes.
We also wrote the letter on our white boards....Take a look at our beautiful " j's "
Mrs Ross thinks we are very clever!

Swimming Demonstration Room 3 and 4

We joined together with Room 4 this afternoon to show our parents some of the things we had been learning during our swimming lessons this term. We swam through hoops and floated like starfish. Then we were in different groups to show gliding, kicking with a board, kicking with arrow arms, front stroke and back stroke. What a great time of sharing our learning.
Thank-you to all the parents and grandparents that came along to watch.
