Way to go Inter-school Athletes!

Ana, Cairo and Paige were part of the team of awesome athletes who competed at the Inter-school Athletic Sports today. They enjoyed participating and showed fabulous Mahora spirit. Well done! I think they look great in our new Mahora sports shirts. What do you think?

And the name chosen is...

Tyler presents Grace with a BIG chocolate fish.

Today Tyler announced the winner of the bunny name competition. The winner was... Grace who suggested Silvermist. Tyler said "we will call her Misty for short." Grace's prize was a huge chocolate fish. Yum!! Mel gave everyone a wine gum for helping out with choosing the name. We loved this competition. Thanks Mel and Tyler! We hope hope Misty learns to answer to her new name quickly.  Let us know how she likes it. :)

Delicious!

Here is a little taste of what you will see at the show! Some of the photos are screenshots taken from a video  so appear a bit fuzzy. This will not be the case at performances! "Colour My World' is sensational so I hope you have your tickets!
Kapahaka students must be at school by 5.30pm in Room 9.

Over 20,000 Views - Woo-hoo!

This afternoon we had a special treat to celebrate reaching 20,000 page views on our blog. The cake was beautiful and tasted deeeeelicious! Our blog really is a reflection of what is happening in Room 10 and features daily happenings and examples of student's work. Every morning after we take the roll and check out the Mahora Daily Notices on-line, we look at comments waiting to be moderated and publish those that reflect the 'language of success'. I have noticed how carefully students choose their words and add correct punctuation while challenging and questioning posts. The number of views is great, but the dialogue the blog creates and how it provides an authentic purpose for writing is really exciting. Thanks to everyone who views and comments - we really enjoy our daily blog time!
PS George is scheduled to have surgery tomorrow and if all goes well he should be back at school on Friday. Fingers crossed!
