Red Nose Day

At Ashhurst School we are practicing this song for Cure Kids Red Nose Day. Have a practice at home!

Responsibility

Room 9 have been doing a lot of thinking about our Ashhurst School Values.

This week we have been focussing on showing the value of responsibility.

Here is a story Chalaya wrote about responsibility.

I am sitting up nicely and putting my hand up and listening to the teacher.

I am showing responsibility.

Look at JayJay and Abby. They have come in after morning tea and found a book to read. That's very responsible!

Homes

We have been learning about different types of houses from around the world. We looked at this house from Africa and then talked about what we were wondering about when we were looking at the picture. Have a read of our wonderings below. Maybe you could tell us what you are wondering about.

Graham Braddock

Last week an artist named Graham Braddock came to visit Ashhurst School. Room 9 and the rest of the Ruahine team spent the afternoon with him, and he taught us how to draw people. We drew a boy riding on a skateboard with special sketching pencils. We are so proud of how well our pictures turned out!

Book Week

Room 9 have had a really exciting week. It is book week at Ashhurst School and lots of fun things have been happening. On Wednesday we dressed up as our favourite book characters, and then showed off our costumes to the rest of the school in a parade. There were some awesome costumes! Some of our favourite book characters were Captain Hook, Snow White, Willaby the Bumble Bee, Fancy Nancy and Mrs Wishy-Washy! On Thursday some of us bought our favourite book to school to share with our class. We all really enjoyed hearing our friends favourite stories. Check out our photos for some of our costumes!
