Today the entire Junior Team walked to Bucklands Beach and Little Bucks Beach to pick up litter as a part of their Community Awareness Inquiry Unit.
It was a super day with lots of parental support and a picnic at the park to finish off.

Music at BBPS
The students enjoyed having an assembly demonstration of some of the instruments that tuition can be taken in. Demonstrated instruments included trumpet, percussion/drums, guitar, trombone, saxophone, flute, clarinet and possibly more I missed!
Ask at the school office for an enrolment form if your child would like to be part of this programme, and the band associated with it.
Scroll down to the bottom of this entry to see my favourite photo so far this year - perfect children!!

James Russell reads to Room 7.
The author of 'The Dragon Hunters' has been interviewed on so many TV chat shows lately and his book is in hot demand this Christmas however....
Room 7 were lucky enough to have an up close and personal meeting with him, complete with their own private book reading!!
Anna won a competition, outside of school, winning a book for herself and one for the school.
It is a great story and we all enjoyed hearing the author read it himself and answer questions that students had thought of in advance.
We learned all about the blend dr- last week and made dragon puppets as well.
We sang him our favourite song 'Dragons Under Our Bed', which he had never heard before.
We sat down by the Christmas tree in the foyer and it felt very special.
Thank you Mr Russell.

Travelwise and Bikes
Travelwise and The Council have funded a safe biking programme in the senior team.
There have been theory lessons and today I came across this scene as I walked back to class.
Mrs Riach said, "Wow, Mrs Johnson, this is fantastic, I have never given sooo much thought about my helmet before. These people are great and the kids are getting so much out of it!"
Thanks to all those involved.

Pet Day 2012
The Junior Team had a wonderful pet day a week or so ago as a part of their Inquiry Topic on Pet Care and Animal Lifecycles.
Pets ranged from stuffed animal 'pets' to live roosters, guinea pigs, rabbits, tadpoles, cats, dogs etc.
Prizes were given out for fun categories. Cookie won the Longest Tail award! . . . and Nana's gorgeous 'Miss America' Bichon won the 'glamour' award and well deserved it, as you can see below!
We finished the afternoon with a grand parade.
Four teachers had their lovely placid dogs at school all day which was great for timid children.
It was fabulous to see once-shy students work their way up from a 'tentative pat' to a full-blown leash leading session alone on the field. That was actually quite a highlight for me especially. LJ.

Mayoral visit by the honorable Mr Len Brown
On Thursday 15 November, BBPS was a-buzz with the visit by our Auckland city mayor, Len Brown.
Girls from the Kapa Haka group did a karanga and a powhiri for the Mayor followed in the hall. Representatives from the BOT were also present. The Enviro leaders took him on a tour of the school where he was able to observe learning in action in many different ways.
