Mission Day

Mission Day is celebrated yearly at St Joe's. This is a great chance for each class to run a stall and make money to help out those in need. This year Room 1 and 2 combined to make a Lolly Shop. They had so many lollies and were so close to selling out.

Week 1 Certificates

Well done to Joe and Poppy for an amazing first 5 days at school! These two certainly deserved their award this week.

Week 1 Term 4

Wow, what a crazy busy first week we had in Room 1. Alongside welcoming two new students we got straight into some fun learning.

Photos as follows:
- Leo - a superstar writer in week 1 who got to visit Mrs Stanley to show off his amazing writing and got to dip into her treasure bowl! Keep up the amazing writing Leo.

- Little Gardens - last term we got to plant a little garden each and on the very hot Friday last week we transferred these to the garden. Fingers crossed they continue to grow.

- Kavanagh Kiwisport - this is continuing into week 2 and the students are have some amazing fun with the "big kids" from Kavanagh.

Kavanagh Kiwisport

Kavanagh Kiwisport is continuing this term for the first two weeks. Despite the cold weather and the rain which cut our session shorts the students had a great first day back at Kiwisport with the awesome students from Kavanagh!

Welcome to New Students!

Today it was very exciting to welcome Poppy and Jo to Room 1 at the start of Term 4. St Joe's also welcome Mana into Room 3 (Poppy's brother).

We hope you are very happy at St Joe's!

CARE Award - James

Well Done to James H who received his CARE award yesterday. You truly deserved it and we look forward to watching you work towards your Silver.

Room 1 - Print Making

Room 1 have worked hard on print making collage this term. One of the creations they made were these amazing bags.

Moon Sand

Oral Language is a major focus in Room 1. It not only develops children's speaking skills the activities we do encourage social interaction with the entire class. Here are photos of Room 1 playing with Moon Sand. It was a great afternoon in the sun playing together. The conversations are great to listen to. 

Maori Language Week

For Maori Language Week Room 1 and 2 looked at the battle of the mountains and completed some great mountain art.

The students also completed some beautiful Koru Art.

It was great to celebrate our Maori Language.
