Week 2

Well, this week has surely flown by! Today is Friday the 13th - lucky for some. It turned out to be lucky for Carly and Ted who were awarded Principal's awards today for being great role models in Nikau when it comes to being organised. Well done to you both and thank you for being ready to learn, being quick to come to the mat and listen, knowing where all the equipment you need is and looking after it and keeping your tote tray tidy so you can find things!

It was also a memorable day for Amelie, who became the first Nikau class member to be named "Star Student".

Come and look at the display on the wall if you want to know what a Star Student does.

Congratulations Amelie! You will be the go-to person for the week, line leader, messenger and all-round first to get to do things as a reward for your hard work.

Those among you who are excellent proof readers may spot a rushed mistake or two made by me (Anne)! The children and I made observations about Amelie and why she deserved this honour. I was struggling to keep up as the ideas came thick and fast. We have a saying in our class: "We all make missnakes!"

Speaking of snakes who make mistakes - you may have heard about Sneaky Snake. He is a green snake who loves to read and the students of Nikau like to read him stories. Sometimes in his sneakiness he hides and the first person in class often finds him in an odd spot. Today Ted managed to catch Sneaky attempting to be a trapeze artist! He must have been thinking about joining the circus like Marvin, the main character in the book we are reading "Circus Berzerkus".

Have a great weekend and see you Monday!
