Walking School Buses had a Penguins Day!

In celebrating the release of Mr Popper's Penguins, 20th Century Fox and the Walking School Buses had a Penguins Day for our Walking School Bus during the week of 8th-12th August.  We were encouraged to dress like penguins and "waddle" to school (keeping in mind to stay road smart whilst doing so!)

One Walking School Bus from each Auckland region will win a double movie pass and a Mr Popper's Penguins stationary set for each child.  All children who participated will receive a set of Mr Popper's Penguins stickers.

Our Walking School Bus for Gulf Harbour School called "Alec Craig Sloopers" had around 15 kids altogether whom participated on each of our Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday WSB days. All were spectacular- and "PENGDIFFERERICUOS"- some kids made their own individual masks, body suits made from black clean sacks- beaks, hats, bowties. It was FUN!

A big thank you to Chad Phillips (Father of Logan) who made x10 cardboard Penguins like what you would see at the actual cinema over the weekend, leading up to the event -they were lifesize, complete with hand and arm movements and eye holes and velcro to stick together at the back for complete "Penguin look"- these were AWESOME!

Thanks also to Mrs Southgate, Miss Wium and Mrs Vrettos for participating, and joining in the fun too!
Its great to have our Teachers on board our BUS TOO!

WE SHOULD WIN THE PRIZE GUYS-SO WATCH THIS SPACE OK!
