Once Upon a Time on a Nursery Rhyme Assembly

There were three bears
Roar, Roar, Roar!...

Ka Pai Te Kākano - you were all amazing in Assembly today.  We are so proud of all your efforts and Mr Matthews did say in his opinion it was probably the best class item he had seen this year!

Enjoy the photos and watching the show (courtesy of Miss Carr's IT skills)...

(Tune to follow...)

Irish Music


Grandad Murphy comes from Belfast,

Nana comes from Sligo Bay.

Though their hands are old and sore,

I love to hear them sing and play.

Di di diddle I diddle I di

Di di diddle I diddle I di

Di di diddle I diddle I di

Di di diddle I di.

Di di diddle I diddle I di

Di di diddle I diddle I di

Di di diddle I diddle I di

Di di diddle I di.

I love to hear them play the fiddle.

The whistle and the bodhran drum,

And though I love the rock and metal,

Irish Music’s much more fun.

I love to live in Aotearoa,

I love to have my friends at home,

But I’m saving up to go to Cork,

To kiss the old Blarney Stone.

Pet Day 2015 :) All Creatures Great and Small

You guys rock! Especially your brilliant 'Pet Rocks'!

We are so lucky as a small country school to have such great support from our local community businesses and organisations.  Yaldhurst Wools, Oderings, Selwyn Dog Agility and whānau all graciously gave their time to come and judge or officiate in one or more sections, we can not thank them enough for their continuing support :)

We had a fantastic Pet Day this year and saw a great range of wonderful pets, Home Baking and creative designs that you offered us.

The Sand Saucers were so fabulous - how creative you all are :)

The Veggie Sculptures were amazing and the judges were blown away with the level of entries!

The Home Baking was clearly a hit with the judges as lots of the entries had bites taken out of them!

We hosted 2-legged, 4-legged, furry, feathered, hairy, stuffed and solid rock pets!

It was wonderful to see all your pets and a massive well done to everyone who entered a class and to those who made a 'Hobby Horse' for the parade and races.

Can't wait for next year... enjoy our pictures and the Seniors You Tube photo-video from this link - PET DAY!

S.P.C.A. - Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

We were very lucky to have some special furry visitors (and their handlers) come to Yaldhurst Model School.

A wonderful rescued Greyhound, Beano, and 2 friendly rescued Guinea Pigs, Vinnie and Otreh.

We found out that ALL animals need the 'Five- Freedom's'

1 - Food and Water
2 - Shelter
3 - Love and Care
4 - Exercise
5 - Vet Care

We were treated to the chance to give them a love and a pat after we had watched the information show on how to be responsible owners.

Enjoy our pics...

Athletics Day 2015!

The whole school enjoyed one of the best Athletics Days to date!

Enjoy the photo-video capturing everything and everyone!

We are so proud of all you guys.
