 Last year, the senior room came up with an idea called "a free shop." They got old boxes and painted them white, made signs and banners, and donated stuff. We turned the old shed into a free shop and now run it during school hours (8:30AM–3:30PM), and everything is free! Next, I'm going to post an article advertising it! Jess

Today we made Stunt planes and tested flying them. We tested them by throwing Hard, Medium and Soft. This year we are focusing on Rakinui and this term we are doing Technology, and stuff in the sky a.k.a Rakinui, the sky father. Here are some images and a video . 

 On the 30th and 1st of March, Karitane School will be going on a school camp to Camp Columba, Gore. Some of the activities include abseiling, rock climbing, ziplining, flying weka, and high ropes. We can't wait to find out what activities our teachers have chosen for us! It costs $100 per kid and $60 per adult for Karitane school kids. It's about 2 hours and 30 minutes away from the school, and parents are welcome to drive their own kids if they have paid and are coming! Most of the kids are very excited and some have even already been one or two times! There are some more picture's of the camp down ↓↓↓ the page! Jess   

 A while ago, the year 6's went to the Edgar centre to learn about and become PAL'S. PAL'S mean Physical Activity Leaders. They played several games including  Hot dog, Monkey tail's, Jail break, Shark attack, Sneak up on dragon and more! In one of the lesson's, they learned about how some game's are difficult for kid's with physical/mental disabilities to play game's and how to make it easier for them. They also learned about planning a PAL'S game and communication (such as Oral language), and trust. This was a fun experience. Here is some feedback from the PAL'S Jess: "I thought it was fun and exhausting, but mainly fun!" Ameliyah: "I thought it was fun! I was confused for the oral language though. " Mae: "It was exciting and interesting." Eleanor: "It was fun." That is our Article about PAL'S. Jess
