Values Comic!

While we have been learning about values, we have also been learning about Comic Life! We put the two of them together and this is what we came up with. Be sure to check back to catch the comic of the day.

Acrostic Values!

Wondering what values are all about? Read this acrostic poem and maybe it will help you to understand them a little bit better.

Serving others
LeArning is important
ResponsibiLity is Taking Charge
Using valUes in your life is important
HopE for great things to come
Honesty means that people can trust you?

Values are truly important? Just wondering... how visible are they in your life?

Please let us know what you are thinking about values!

Point England Values!

Our school year is off to a great start and we have been learning about values. What do you know about values, and how would you explain this to others? Tough task, isn't it? We have nine values that we have been working with, and are putting together presentations to help explain how each of them "looks", "sounds", and "feels". Be sure to check back and give us your thoughts on the many values that we are learning about.

The Beach Trip

“Yes were here,” I shouted as I got out of the car and onto the sand. As I got into the water it was freezing! The waves hit me so hard I got a fright as I nearly fell deeper into the water. My little cousins were playing in the sand and as the gross seaweed touched them they were scared.
My brother and I had a swimming contest, I won the first match then he won the last match. When we got out of the water we found black sand. We were making sand castles with our little cousins and my Pop. That was a lot of fun at the beach, I really hope we can go to the beach again.

Camp Bentzon 2010 - my like list!

1. Swimming in the water. This was so much fun, it was nice cool water to jump into.

2. Running up intp the forest. This was a neat way to do exercise. It was a little difficult. I got through it by having a drink now and then and telling myself ‘I can do it’.

3. Jumping off the pontoon. It was so much fun because I was doing backflips and bouncing off Stevie and some of my other friends.

4. Jumping off the wharf. The height of the wharf off the water was exciting. It made me feel a little nervous but I still jumped off it. I started off the big log and then I used the smaller one.

5.Playing on the playground. I like to play tag on the playground with my friends. I never seemed to get tired of playing here.

To all the teachers and parents on camp thank you for helping us to do lot of good activities. Also for serving all the children food. I would like to say thanks to Mr Coop for cooking us the delicious food. Your desserts were fantastic!

Weta

Charlie caught 2 weta last week. Mrs Clarke filmed what happened when he let them go.

Excitement In The Air!

Tomorrow is going to be another exciting day at Point England School. Why, you might ask? Well just stay seated, and I'll tell what all the excitement is about.

Athletics! That's right, it's all about an opportunity for us to compete in a wide variety of events. High jump, sprints, shotput, discus, and if you can believe it, we even get to launch a javelin.

Win or lose, tomorrow will be a fantastic day, and I hope that everyone has a great day, competing in the numerous events. Good luck everyone!
