Burnside Stars

Collin and Alexia were our Piwakawaka Burnside Stars that we celebrated at assembly this week.  Alexia has learnt all the alphabet letter sounds and Collin has been working so hard to make his handwriting the right size and shape, and to make it the right way AND sit it on the line.  We are so proud of both of you.  Congratulations - Tino Pai!

Handwriting Superstar

Heather was our handwriting star for her wonderful work in keeping her letters on the line and making them the right size.  

Maths Must Do and Can Do activities

We have been practising how to work with our buddies, stay at our activities and to focus on what we are doing during our must do/can do time.  Here are some photos of people that know exactly what to do and can work well with their partner.  What great role models you are, especially when you use your words and talk to your partner about your activity or where you are going to next.

Shining Stars

Tom and Tyson were our Burnside Shining Stars at Assembly this week.  Tom was also the Blue Homebase Room Handwriting Star!  What an awesome day he had of celebrations!

Soccer

Today we had a visit from Xavier from Mainland Soccer. We had a fantastic time learning some new ball skills and practising them in some mini soccer games.

Handwriting Stars

Today in the yellow room for handwriting we wrote the letter y. Miss Smits had such a hard job choosing the handwriting superstar that she had to choose two!!

Mason worked hard to make sure his lower case y's were sitting nicely on the line.

Collin made sure his capital Y's were starting at the right place every time!

Well done boys we are very proud of you!

Cultural Day Dress Up

Look how proud we all look!  We enjoyed dressing up in our culture's clothes and sharing these with our friends.  What a great day we had at our special school.
