Class Captains

Congratulations Marvin and Luka. Our Term 2 Class Captains. 

You were chosen because of your hard work ethic, caring nature and your leadership skills. Keep up the great work boys!

Milk

Yum! We love milk. Thanks to Fonterra's Milk in Schools program, every student in our school receives a carton of milk, EVERYDAY! After drinking the milk, we fold the cartons in a special way. They then get sent away to be recycled into roof tiles and school books. Awesome! As you can see... we love 'milk time'. Thanks Fonterra! We will be writing to say thank you very soon. 

Yummy! See the pictures below of us relaxing and enjoying our milk. 

Also... Welcome to the newest member of the Super Seahorse class... Audrey! 

It is a pleasure to have you in our class.
