Turning Pink

We decided to have a PINK DAY     to raise money for Breast cancer research. The money will go to clever doctors to find a way to fix this cancer. 
We wrote notices and put them in the diary of every student at  Tamaki.
We asked the grown ups to wear pink too and they decided to have a pink morning tea as well. The idea spread and the Sommerville base school staff turned pink as well.

It turned out to be a great day. 
Jump jam looked amazing.  




We went round the school and collected the money. Even the people in our office looked pink.








This is the Sommerville staff room. 



This is the Tamaki campus staff room.



We will let you know how much money we raised when we have counted it all. There is still more to add to this pile.

Tamaki 3 go out

We went to the SPCA to give them the sheets we ripped and the doggy toys we plaited in our work time. 
 When the van load got to the SPCA the nice lady let us pat her white dog as a thank you for our work. 


We went and looked at the cats and kittens. We had to stop Shelley from taking lots of them home. 
Next we went and looked at some enormous rabbits they were bigger than the cats. 



 We saw a puppy playing with a lady then we looked at the dogs.




The tiny puppies came to the window and asked us to take them home. The big dogs came and talked to us too We had to stop William and Dominic from taking the dogs home. 

Zin Mar, Kendyl and Tonja just looked.

There were lots of roadworks and Michelle and Freesia got lost and went straight to the park. 
When we got to Ambury Park farm  Freesia and Michelle were pleased to see us. 

After lunch Freesia took us for a walk to see the goats. On the way we saw a turkey.
                                       


        

The goats with their hairy throats were by the fence and happy for us to pat them.  It was a long walk.
                             

The van load went to the Strawberry farm in Kirkbride Rd to get enormous strawberry ice creams.

Wednesday fun

One of our favourite things is to go to dance with Sarah. 
We are making up a dance that shows feelings. We've done happy, tired, sad and excited. We warm up to "sugar" by Maroon 5. At the end we lie down and relax.

Aqua aerobics

Every Friday we go to the Glen Innes Pools for our aqua aerobics workout. First we do some twisting, cross overs and marching. 




 When our muscles are warmed up we fill up the bottles with water and use them as weights. We lift them high, we stretch our arms out and swing them around in the water to make big splashes.





 After the workout we relax and practice our water safety skills. Some of us are getting very good at floating others are practicing putting their heads all the way under the water.
