Fitzroy School Wearable Arts


Molly Rowe from Room 8 organized a Fitzroy School Wearable Arts Show.

There were two categories - Recycled and Off the Wall. We were split up and put into Middle school and Senior school groups.

Molly Rowe kindly organized prizes from several sponsors.

The overall winner was Sasha Thomas aged 8 who made and wore a spectacular costume made out of straws. Sasha's costume was called the Straw Squaw.

Some costumes were made out of twine, doilies, yoghurt pots, straws, egg cartons, feathers, lollies, wire, steel, cow pellet bags, balloons, paper fans, cardboard boxes, shuttlecock feathers and even more materials!

The judges were Mrs Murdoch, Sassy Marshall-Johnston and Mrs Hawkins.

While the judges were deliberating we had three great preformances:a trio of girls playing the guitar, four girls singing and one girl playing the piano. They were fantastic!

It was a wonderful show and we did not want it to end.

RUGBY SUCCESS

In August, Fitzroy and Woodleigh played the New Plymouth Primary Schools inter-school rugby final at Sanders Park. It was a very close game but Fitzroy held on to claim the George Walker Trophy with a 27-24 win.

AWE Water Safety Programme at the Aquatic Center

On Tuesday the 7th to the 11th of June Room 8 traveled in a bus to the Aquatic Center for the AWE water safety programme. On the first day the class was divided in half. The first group did the safety pin jump from the high ledge wearing a lifejacket. We were taught to first search for anything that could hurt us in the water before we jumped eg. rocks, if it was shallow or not, logs, animals or people.

The second group worked with a partner. One had to be the patient who was pretending to drown and the other person who was the rescuer had to save his or her partner with a floating object.

At the end of the session we all had a bombing contest and the winners were Daniel, Wil, Thiesan and Ruby.
We would like to thank NPDC and AWE for providing this fantastic experience for us. The green rash tops are neat too!

Bell Block School and Fitzroy Schools Interschool sports day !!!

On the 31st May Bell Block Primary came and had a great Interschool sports day against Fitzroy School.
















Soccer was a tough game with a score of 1 all, it was a close game Fitzroy got the first goal By Jeremy Hickling.


















Rugby had a wicked game with the first try by Liam Mataku. The lead changed several times during the game and at the final whistles the score was locked at 26 all. Extra time was called and Liam once again came up with the winning try. The final score was 31-26 to Fitzroy.

The netball girls fought hard against a skilled Bellblock team. Bell Block were deserved winners 13 - 6.

Rooms 8 have been compiling a book about the events that have happened in Fitzroy School during 2010.
Everybody in the class has done something for the book. We are doing this on- line and the book will be published in America before the end of the year. It will cost $50 so we will buy 1 copy for the school. Some of the events you will read about in the book are about our camp, choir, Beach Ed and World Vision. There is a GREAT class photo to go on 1 of the covers!
We will invite you to look through it in class, when it arrives.

Puddles

On a cloudy Friday morning as walking to school, as I get in the gates I see kids jumping up and down, screaming and laughing. I then realize there is a huge puddle covering half the court.
In some parts of the puddle it was almost knee deep.
All of the kids were tempted to jump even more into the puddle but the teachers said “No! You can’t be wet in class all day!

Ms P's Sleepy Day

Here’s Ms P. She had a big night out. Ms P went to one of the GTARanaki midnight concerts and when she came back it was 2:30 in the morning! When Ms P came to school she almost fell asleep in class when she was writing something on the whiteboard when she was teaching Room 8.

Oh my goodness, Room 8! It is so long since I put the one and only entry onto the Blog! I am not very good at this am I? Thanks to Mr Pillette for helping Paige, Brooke and Emmy today to put this latest entry on. He is such a whizz at it isn't he. I am going to leave it to you Room 8 kids to keep the Blog active.
Thanks kids for a fabulous week of work , independence and togetherness. It makes me feel great about this job. Have a great weekend and be good to your families.
xx Ms P
