So You Think You Can Dance?

In Term 2 the Kahikatea Syndicate held a 'So You Think You Can Dance?' competition. For the month leading up to the big day Room 12's afternoons were filled with the sweet sounds
of Jay Williams, creative differences over choreography and honing those slick moves.

While there was some fierce competition for the honorof representing Room 12 in the final showdown it was Ella, Brittney, Tayla and Phoebe who took out the class prize.

On Friday they strutted their stuff (Complete with matching outfits AND glittery hats) in front of Kahikatea in the hall. Unfortunately it wasn't our turn to win but what a great experience ( Allegations of judges being bribed with
chocolate fish are still being investigated).

Trees For Survival

Room 12 has been lucky enough to have the opportunity to be

involved in Trees For Survival. This is an environmental

programme run by the TFS charitable trust - we help them by planting trees in areas that have been identified as needing replanting. We also help out by weeding and watering the native seedlings that we plant. So far
this year we have had two sessions on plant care with Warren Field, one planting at Henley Lake and this
week we are planting the stream area behind the
school swimming pool.

Our trip to Henley Lake was nearly a disaster as there
was torrential rain all morning, but luckily
the sun came out just as we jumped on the bus
(Many thanks to the Edmond's family for providing all
the extra jackets just in case!). Everyone worked
hard to plant nearly 200 seedlings, what a gargantuan
effort for one afternoon! We returned home on the bus
wet, tired but feeling the satisfaction of a job well done!
