Student Council Activity Board

Kia Ora Wigram Primary School bloggers,

The student council have put together an activity board for you and your bubbles to take part in! The exciting part is, for each activity from the activity board that you complete and up load to your blog, you will earn 1 token for your house! (This is the same as 2 kahu cards!!!) So come and check it out :) 

There's lots to choose from including; baking creeps and cheese cake, fitness drills, loom bands and skateboarding tricks. 


We look forward to watching your videos or seeing pictures of your activity! It's a great way to earn tokens for your house and to stay connected through lockdown. 

Thank you for reading, WPS Student Council.

Daffodil Day Quiz Participants

Kia ora Whānau,

We had a great time on Friday with our weekly quiz. Everyone tried to find something yellow to wear, with the creative side of both teachers and students coming out!

It was great to see some other family members helping out with finding the answers to our current event questions.



We also used this time to recognise a number of students who had worked really hard over the last week, blogging their learning and touching base with the teachers in the hub.
We gave out some digital certificates and these will be printed and handed out when we are back at school.


 


 







Tu meke koutou!

We look forward to seeing you all at the next Hangout:
10am - Harvard and Mustang
11am - Kittyhawk and Skyhawk

The links to the meetings will be sent out one hour before your meeting begins.

Have a great weekend!

 Kia Ora koutou,

We hope you are enjoying the sunshine over the past few days! The Ruru staff have! Here is a picture of us all dressed ready for our daffodil day quiz tomorrow at 9.30am! -All family members are welcome! 

A link for the google meet will be sent out tomorrow morning. 

We can't wait to see you there... and most importantly don't forget to dress in yellow! 




Ruru Teachers' Poetry Anthology

Kia ora koutou,

Here is the much anticipated Ruru Teachers' Lockdown Poetry Anthology!

We will be adding to this throughout the coming weeks, so make sure you check back on the new additions.

At the moment, we have a few Haiku poems, tongue twisters and a countdown poem in the anthology.


You could try recording yourself saying the tongue twisters, three times fast - Good luck!

Watch this space for more poems!

Second Ruru Hangout

 Today we had a challenge during our Hangouts:

To draw a picture on a given topic in only one minute!


First up, we had Harvard and Mustang. They had to draw.. an elephant!

Next, Kittyhawk and Skyhawk had to draw a crocodile.


If you look carefully, you'll be able to see some guests to our Ruru Hangouts.

We extend this challenge out to parents - what does your one-minute animal look like?

Have a great day, Ruru!

First Day of Hangouts!

 Kia ora koutou,

Today we had our first Ruru Google Hangout! The teachers met first to talk about what we will be sharing in the Hangout, then allowed you in one by one.

The first Hangout was with Harvard and Mustang.

We got the heads up that it was Sofi's birthday, so we all sang to her. It was hectic with people singing in different keys and at different times, but we managed!



We then had our Hangout with Kittyhawk and Skyhawk.
The lovely Adele and Michelle joined us and we sang to Michelle as well, as it was her birthday too!





It was great to see you all and we look forward to seeing you again on Wednesday.
Look out for the next invitation and possibly... a challenge to bring with you?

Have a great day and see you soon!
