Visit from a Judge

Today Tāwhirimātea had a very special visitor. Judge Robert Murfitt who writes under the name Robbie James came to visit us with Bradley's dad Nigel. 

Judge Murfitt is a judge in family court here in Christchurch and he has also written a children's book called Claire and Weka.

 

We got to learn all about the different types of court and what it is like to be a judge. 

 

 Then Judge Murfitt read us his book about Claire and the Weka.

 

Finally we got to ask any juicy questions we had about being a judge, author or about the book. We all had a wonderful time and learnt a lot! Thank you Nigel and Robert for coming to visit. 

 

Helping our friends in Kaikoura

Due to the big earthquake in Kaikoura we decided as a studio to send them a big parcel to show them we care and are thinking of them. We know how it feels and we know that they will smile when they see our yummy cookies, letters of support, fruit, non-perishables and other essential items they need to get by! 


Kia Kaha Kaikoura we are thinking of you!!

Thursday Afternoon Fun

During week 5 we have had afternoon sports. Each teacher ran a choice every afternoon. Miss S and Marcella took traditional games. One of the activities in traditional games was skipping and after a small bit of explanation a small group decided to take up the challenge and attempt to skip together holding each other's ropes. Check out their attempts below!
