Making a Pinwheel For the Gala

We had a great time on Friday making pinwheels for the Gala. Well done to all our hard workers. Students have even been making them in their own time. Check out the video below by Mrs Brown if you want to make another one!

Blake's Award Winning Poem!

A big congratulations goes out to Blake Wood from Room 13 who won the Poetry section in the 2014 Rodney District Children's Writing Competition Years 5/6.

Here is his winning poem...

The Fiery Beast

Ancient, rumbling giant signalling his rise from deep within the Earth
the intimidating sound of a dragon hunting its prey
gulping in air and blowing it over trespassers approaching it’s lair
immortal beast on a rampage, throwing out brilliant orange jewels in fits of rage
a menacing glare, enough to turn liquid to stone
selfish, mysterious, powerful
eyes of magma
heart of obsidian
volcano

Epic Coastal Clean Up

Kids from G.H.S Lead Epic Coastal Clean Up 

Students from Gulf Harbour School have been inspired by problems with rubbish and lead epic beach clean up. They ran around in the rain but it didn't  bother the super kids. They picked up a lot of rubbish. On Monday the kids again sprang into action sorting out rubbish and weighing it. They did a good job. They are super heroes.
