Christmas 2021

Our Christmas decorations had a 'Xmas Tree' theme. We made a finger print xmas tree card, a glittery xmas tree with a candy cane and then a xmas tree ornament for our trees. What a great way to end the year.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year!

My Speech - Lego is the Best Toy

03.11.21

Kia ora,

Kaiora's speech was about his passion, LEGO. His speech was fantastic and he placed in the top 5 speeches in our class speech competition. I thought his speech was so good, I shared it with LEGO and this was their wonderful reply. In addition to this the lovely team at LEGO sent Kaiora a lego gift. You can watch Kaiora's reaction on the video. He was pretty happy!!! Thank you to Lego for your thoughtful reply and wonderful gift to a very dedicated Lego fan.
