During the week we had our book fair. This ran from Monday to Friday and included a collection of Scholastic books and variety products for students and their families to purchase. The school received a percentage of the total sales of the book fair to go toward new books for the school. To end the book fair week our students and teachers participated in a book parade. Students and parents were commended on their amazing efforts and participation in creating some amazing costumes of their favourite book characters. Here are a few pictures of our book characters……

2015 – Calf Club Day

We had our first Saturday Calf Club Day at Maungakaramea School on the 31st October this year and what a great day it turned out to be. The children and members of the community enjoyed watching the animals, looking at the stalls, enjoying the food and they were even able to have their faces painted, bounce on the bouncy castles or have a ride on one the horses from local horse riding school, Eurostables. The rain checked in at times during the day but for the most part it was a fine sunny day.

Thank you so much to all of our families and the children who helped out on the day and to our wonderful sponsors!

Recently we had a visit from Jock the singing cowboy. We dressed up in our cowboy and cow girl outfits, sang and danced to Jock as he he played his guitar and sang us songs. We then enjoyed American hotdogs for lunch. Thanks Jock – we had a great time.
