Wear-A-Bull Arts

Successful night for Bulls School at the Bulls Wear-A-Bull Arts. All that hard work paid off! Come along to Middle Hubs assembly this Friday to see a snippet of our amazing masterpieces.

Play Time!

Due to a mucky week with our People Savers Course, Rooms 2 & 3 got together and made use of our incredible resources, School Journals, and acted out plays. We always ask to do plays but never have the time so here was a perfect opportunity. We looked at the structure of plays as well as paying attention to our key competencies, Participating and Contributing.

Netball

The netball season has now come to an end.  A great, yet very chilly tournament this Saturday. Bulls Tahi came first place in the tournament as well as being award most improved team for the season. Well done to all the girls for carrying our Pride values on and off the court. Thank you to all the parents and umpires for their support. 

Dictionary skills

Every Wednesday when the year 7 & 8s are at Tech the year 5 & 6s take part in a research skills programme. We focus on areas such as dictionary skills, atlas skills and newspaper skills. All of these are skills which will support us when researching. 

Room 1's Collaborative Art

WOW! Amazing what we can achieve when we all work together!!
Vincent van Gogh's "The Starry Night" was divided into 28 sections, with everyone taking responsibility for re-creating their piece of the painting.

What a masterpiece, looking forward to displaying this in Senior Hub.

Room 1's Masterpiece.

Based on this original painting "The Starry Night" by van Gogh.

Matariki

Last Thursday, Bulls School hosted a local Matariki Concert for the community. Our kapa haka performance group performed, along with Clifton School and Turakina Maori Girls. Thanks to Parewahawaha Marae for inviting us and filling our puku's before our performances.

Wheels day

Organized by the kids for the kids. 

It was such a fun day that it now looks like it might become a regular event. 

Maths in Action

There are three maths classes in the senior hub. Here is one of them in action. We love using technology, visual and hands on activities to help our understanding and keep us engaged in our learning. 

Book Fair Celebration

Last week was book fair. All up we sold over $2500 worth of Scholastic books. $750 of that goes towards purchasing some of these amazing books for our very own school library!

Below is a photo of senior hub dressed up as their favourite book characters. 

Typing skills

The senior hub have installed a programme onto the chrome books which will help us improve our typing skills.

Today we got our hands dirty by planting our purchased vegetable plants from Mitre 10. Now to watch them grow!

It was all go in LEEP today with both groups, Flower Power and the Green Gardeners, making the most of the fine weather.
