This week our school is collecting shoes for the Soles 4 Souls charity. A simple donation of a pair of shoes can make a huge difference to someone’s life. Read here about some of the issues that can be helped by this venture.

Do you do anything to help others less fortunate? Does your school support any particular charities?

Mr Piper has just sent me a link to the Voicethread that his students & Mrs Choren have prepared to show us around their school, University School of Milwaukee. It’s very interesting and is very different from our school. In class we will have a chance to leave them a comment on the Voicethread as I have an account for you all to do that.

Here is the Voicethread:

Last week our New Zealand Performance Choir and the South Hornby choir from Christchurch, New Zealand, performed to the residents of the Waterford Retirement Village. To say they did a great job is a serious understatement. The residents had some wonderful feedback for them and we were told that they would be welcome to come back and perform any time. One resident had tears in his eyes when he told us of the pleasure these wonderful students had brought to them all that morning. Mrs S was very proud of you all, and I was very proud to be able to say that I was your teacher. Thank you

This is a video of the two choirs singing Adele’s song “Someone like you”. Sadly the video stopped just before then end as the memory card was full (that will teach ne for taking so many photos and not downloading them from the camera!), but i still think it’s worth watching.

A big congratulations to our SAPSASA softball team who had a very successful day on Friday. Alhtough they seem to have a bit of a memory problem about the score ( ) they definiteley had a convincing win! Wll done everyone!
