End of Term 3

A big thank you to Sophie and Amelia who handed out the E-team prizes for the best room with the least rubbish to the Landfill! ROOM 5 was the winner and at Assembly on Friday the girls presented Miss Matich with a class set of spinning tops, bouncy balls, yo-yos, etc. :) Well done!

Hutt Keep NZ Beautiful – Percy’s Reserve Y7&8 found hardly anything, suspected HCC had been in and cleaned up.

Nikau Y4-6 we filled most of our recycling bags from Maungarki Community.

Kowhai Y1-4 did the school and found lots of glass, cans, straws, mandarins etc

Was suggested that Percy’s not done next year but go up to Belmont and do the Regional Park??

Sophie is still working on the blog...thanks Soph!
