Treat Day.

Some future school members.

The home and school committee that fed everyone sausages, fizzy drink, ice-blocks, lollypops and candy canes. Yummy said the children.

Dawn was a wonderful help spinning those children around.

Careful Zak.
Watch out here comes Shavanna.

Gosh you are up high Chloe.

Our seniors just loved these activities.

Good on you Braydon that looks like fun.

Here's Jacob and Tyrone.

The smaller pool.

Waiting for instructions.

Some of our wonderful parents who did transport so we could go.

All those excited Foxton Beach School children waiting to go on treat day. We went by car to the Levin swimming pool and then onto the Levin Adventure Play area. The Home and School Association paid for the day and gave the children lunch and some treats. A fantastic time was had by all. It was very hot and we had lots of children sound asleep on our trip back to school.

final harvest 16.12

Tahila was trying to work out which one was a carrot.

Rayden is our keenest gardener. He pulled our carrots for lunch.

Today we picked our zucchini's, carrots, sugarsnap peas and garlic to eat and to take home. We are using one of the lettuce for the staff luncheon tomorrow to farewell Miss Brouwers, Mrs Rehu, Miss Anderson, Mrs Rainham and Mrs McNabb.

Look at our garden 9.12

Great photography Mya.

Our garden is growing amazingly fast. We have flowers on our sugar snap peas and beans. We will harvest our garlic to take home next week before school finishes for the year. Our two zucchini plants have flowered and are now cropping. Our sunflowers are growing taller than the children.

Wonderful gala

We had the most beautiful weather for our school twilight gala. Room 2 sold all their beautiful spiders and insects for 50cents each a real bargin. The other treat was that for free you could have your photo taken of the Bledisloe cup. It is very big.

School Gala 3.12.10

Look at our beautiful insects and spiders we are making for the school gala. We are selling them for only 50 cents each.

Thank-you "Yummy"

Room Two and Foxton Beach School says thank-you to all the wonderful sponsors of the "Yummy" fruit stickers for sport gear promotion. Our local New World at Foxton is one of these great people. This year we gathered enough stickers to win over $580 worth of free sports gear. We can't wait to use them.

Our Garden 1.12.10

Look how big our garden has got. We have had some very hot weather at Foxton Beach this week and we have had to water our garden. Look how tall our sunflowers are.

Enya week 8

Enya is an Aunty. Her big sister Kerrian had a beautiful baby girl. Enya brought us these photos to show us.

Tobloids 24.11.10

Isn't it great to see a Five year old competing against one of our seniors. This was water in the bucket.

The very large egg and spoon race.

Waiting for instructions before we started our fun afternoon. The whole school was involved from year 0 to year 8. Our School is divided into four houses and the little children are mixed in with children from all over the school.

Joshua 25.11.10

Joshua brought this fascinating cow's tooth from his father's farm. His Daddy has been farming for a long time and this is only the second cows tooth he has ever found. Do you know that a baby cow is called a calf? It takes two years for the tooth to fall out.

Eve-Ellen 24.11.10

Here is the picture Eve-Ellen drew of Mount Ruapehu. They stayed at Mangatepopo.

Eve found these three rocks in the river.

Red nose appeal

Even our teacher's car has a red nose on it.

Eve that is so tricky to wear your nose when you have glasses as well.

These children in room two are supporting the local appeal. We got our noses and braclets from our local Take Note Store in Foxton. It is to help children with cancer.

Lettuce from our garden 15.11.10

The last two waiting for those yummy lettuce sandwiches. Taliah and Enya.

Joshua is ready to munch and look at Rayden's big bite.

Taine's Mum didn't believe that Taine had tried a lettuce sandwich. Look at that big bite.

Eve-Ellen munching away.

You could have white bread or brown bread with marmite if you wanted or just plan lettuce.

Waiting for lunch.

Mrs Mortensen was trying to hide. In the background you can see our gardening patch at the end of the senior classrooms.

Isn't it amazing we had 21 children around that little table.

Codey is off to wash his lettuce.

Rayden had worked out we needed to pull off some of the leaves that we couldn't eat.
Jazlyn is off to wash the lettuce for our sandwiches.

Chloe is showing you the roots on the lettuce that were in the ground.Mr Mortensen is starting to harvest our lettuce.

Room two went out to check our garden and we were really excited to finally have something that we had grown all by ourselves ready to eat. Everyone helped by pulling out some weeds while we waited. Some of the children washed the lettuce so it was safe to eat. We found some ants on some of the leaves and didn't want to eat them. Everyone of our class tried our sandwich. Guess what Mum's and Dad's most of them ate that special sandwich because it wasn't ordinary lettuce. It was home grown!
