Time to Shine

Today at Time to Shine Vino shared with us her Dan Carter book. She lined up for three hours last December at Northlands Mall to get his signature. Vino loves that Dan Carter is so passionate about rugby.

Tainui and Melissa's TIME TO SHINE!

Tainui is a prop in the Canterbury Bulls and Papanui Tigers League Teams.  What a star!  He earned the Tiger's Player of the Year award in 2015.  Tainui is working towards being a junior All Black when he is 16.


Melissa showed us her box of special memories from when she was a baby.  She showed us the outfit she left hospital in, her first shoes, a picture of her handprints and footprints at 4 months, some art, and many other treasures from her life.  Thanks for sharing, Melissa.

Time to Shine

Today Rhys and Tayler shared some details of their recent holidays with us. Tayler went to Geraldine and he camped for a week. We cracked up when he told us that a peacock swiped his hot dog and ran away with it. Rhys went to the Gold Coast last year. The highlight of his holiday was going on the Tower of Terror at Dream World.

Today at Literacy time, Cody shared some of his precious rocks with us. He also bought in some sharks teeth. Amber gave us a presentation on her baby book. She even showed us a blanket and a dummy that had been kept as treasures. We love it when students show confidence by sharing interesting  things from home with us.
