busy end of term coming up

There are only four weeks left until the end of term. The week after that it is Christmas. Lots of us are looking forward to Christmas and already have our presents planned.

Coming up on December 3rd is the talent show. The people from our class who are entering are practising hard for what will be an awesome display of "Highfield's Got Talent". It is going to be on at Mountainview at 7pm. Come and see us!

Interschool are coming up on the first of December. We wish the people from our class luck in their events. Go Zoe, Oakleigh, Amy and Tane.

Some of us are busy making treasure chests and decorated shoes for the Rose Festival that is on in Timaru at the moment. They will on display at the Bay on Sunday. They will be judged and there will be prizes given. So far they are looking awesome.

For Kiwican we have been nominating people to get the tiki for showing respect. Anitra got the Kiwican certificate at assembly last week. Well done Anitra.

We have been working hard to make posters for our celebrations topic. We had to find the information first then plan the layout and the use of pictures to make an informative poster.

We learnt a new maori song for assembly. It was about working together and taking care of each other. It was called "E tu kahikatea".

On Tuesday, we walked up to the stadium for our school athletics day. All our class was there. The day was sunny, fun, awesome, exhausting and toasting.
Some of our class got through to the interschools: Zoe for relay and sprints, Oakleigh for high jump, Tane for baseball throw and shotput, Amy for relay and sprints. Way to go folks!!!


Lauryn left Highfield on Thursday. We had a shared lunch to celebrate her time at our school. We wish her all the best at Gilberthorpe School.

The teachers celebrated no children at school on teachers only day on Friday. We think they went to Chatters and had a party without us! Mrs Roxburgh might not agree with us.
