Spectrum Art Trip

We all had a wonderful time on our trip yesterday to the city to check out the Spectrum Art Exhibition at the YMCA. The trip gave us all an opportunity to discuss street art and the message the artist is trying to send to the public. We are very lucky in Christchurch to have numerous amounts of beautiful street art in our city, which seems to have multiplied since the earthquakes begun. My personal favourite is the ballerina on the back of the Isaac Theatre Royal!

A big, huge, massive, gigantic thank you to all the parents who supported us on the day :)

Check out some awesome photography one of our incredibly talented students, Sam, took of the exhibition below.

Swimming at Jellie Park

What an incredible day we had yesterday at the pool! We had a slightly chilly start to the day but luckily the sun came out and everyone had a really great time. The children all did an excellent job at upholding our school values 'we get there together'. My personal favourite moment from the trip was seeing dozens of children deciding to demonstrate how they 'love challenge' by jumping off the highest diving board! I was so impressed that I too decided to join in the fun (which I later regretted once I had climbed to the top of the ladder!). It was a fantastic day! A HUGE thank you to all the parents who supported us on the day. Without your help trips like this wouldn't be possible.

Trip to the Transitional Cathedral, City and Gardens

What a wonderful time we had on this trip! Our children sang beautifully at the cathedral. Their behaviour as we walked through the city was exemplary and our time at the Botanic Gardens was a welcome respite from the heat of the day.

As we walked to the Gardens, the children worked in teams to take photographs of items on a scavenger hunt. We were all amazed by the huge number of artworks and sculptures on display in our changing city.

We even had a student's aunty come down to the square to sing for us!

It was a great experience.

Quail Island

Yesterday, we had a wonderful day at Quail Island. The weather was perfect and we had a lovely time walking around the island, swimming in the safe beach, and enjoying ourselves in the outdoors. We would like to say a HUGE thank you to all the wonderful parents who came with us. You are awesome!
