Domain Visit

We had a great day at the Domain on Thursday October 30th. We went by bus to see the Sculptures that were being made as part of the 150th celebrations of the Domain. We got to play in the playground first, then we went to see the sculptures. The people making them were happy to talk to us about what they were doing. They had some interesting tools to use. We even found some fossils in the limestone.

Fire at School

Yesterday there was great excitement after lunch. Room 10 had smoke coming out of it. The fire brigade came with their sirens blasting. The firemen unloaded and got their hoses. They touched Room 10's door to check if it was hot then cautiously went inside. They rescued 2 teddies from the 'fire'. The teddies were taken outside and had a medical check done on them. After that the smoke was blown out of the room and we all got to have a look at the fire engine.

On Tuesday we had a group of 20 Thai students come to Hampstead School. We had an assembly to welcome them. Fergus did his mihi and Angus did the welcome in English. Tuku also helped. The school san g 2 songs to them. After the assembly the students went to the junior rooms. After morning tea they went to the senior rooms. We had Som-o, Boom and Pat. They did painting with us.
