and then it was all over.....

So we sit here in Room 1 with bare walls and the desks piled away for the carpet cleaner later in the week. The year 5s have gone off to have a great holiday and will be back in 6 weeks. The year 6s however are now off making their own roads in the next chapter of their lives.

Mr Murray and myself wish all the families and whanau of our students a very merry Christmas. Have a great time with your children and enjoy those magic times together.

Thank you - it's been a great year...... 

Year 6 Leavers Video

A fantastic nativity performance by the year 6s on their special night. We hope that you take many happy memories of your time at St Pats with you as you travel on your journeys.

We pay tribute to you in this short collection of memories. Stay safe

DONUTS !!

It seems that the Room 1 students might have felt a bit left out when we made donuts for Room 6 last week so today we made our own.

Thanks to the donut makers - Hadley, Aisha and Emily and to the extra decorators - Sean, Samantha and Mikaela.

It was such a shame that nobody wanted them after all that work !! 

Join the Year 6 Celebration

Year 6 Leaver's Party

Hopefully your child has come home and raved about the fun we all had on Friday night. Unfortunately it's hard to tell who had more fun - the students or the teachers. 

To keep everyone satisfied until the viewing of the Leaver's Video at the Leaver's Mass at 6.30 Tuesday at St Patrick's Church, here are a few pics....

Peter and Scott - whose will pop first ?

Mr Day was there to witness the magical moment Mr Murray hit the target with his fishing rod. He kept his delight very close to his chest as you would not expect him to gloat in front of the students....yeah right !!

With a little help from Claudia, Emily attempts to follow in Mr Murray's magical footsteps...good luck Emily....you are walking in the footsteps of a legend.

The first race of the night. On your marks...get set....whoops !!

Xav wanted to spend the night playing on an apple device...Mr Day and Mr Murray had other plans......

Lucas !!! Look out !! Mr Day is coming for you and he's armed. He even put his water pistol in the freezer an hour before to guarantee maximum pain on his victims  !!!

Room 1 News - Behind the Scenes

As we approach the end of term the release of the Room 1 World News is only days away. Unfortunately, due to so much going on at the end of term and students being here, there and everywhere the filming was cut back. 

Presenter Chris P Bacon - relaxing before the next shoot

So is it going to rain tomorrow Hope ?

What on earth is going on here ?

However, as you can see the students have been busy and they have realised just how much work and effort they need to put into a single programme.

Have a good weeekend folks........  

Got Talent Final 2014

The highlights from today's Got Talent Finals. The students put on a fantastic show for the audience. Whether you're into dancing, the piano or singing you're in for a treat.

Well done to everyone and we hope you all had fun.
