Murals

This year, yet again, we have created and painted some more MURALS. This time we decided on a design that would identify how cool our school  is.

The 9 panels have "Fitzroy School" spread across them. They encompass lots of greenery, (trees and plants), with some New Plymouth icons, such as the Wind Wand and Waiwakaiho Bridge. You can see the wonderful Murals, on the schools pool fence, they are a beautiful icon for Fitzroy School. The murals are a great success thanks to Ray Stoddart and Fitzroy Kids. The Painters are: 
Rm 6: Gemma, Rohan and  Holly. 
Rm 7: Sasha, Satsuki, Kale and Logan. 
Rm 8:  Keana, Ciara, Harlem and Ruby.
Rm 9: Naylah, Daniel, Byron and Bryden

The Library's Alterations

This term, half of our School Library is having to be changed into a classroom because our Junior and Middle School is growing, making our Fitzroy Family bigger.

The Librarians have started by taking all of the fiction novels into the non fiction area, they have been cleared so they can fit on their shelves (the rest of the books in the fiction side are going to be put in containers).

When you go through the outside door you will walk into a tiny hallway that will lead you to the classroom and into the main desk,(which Mrs.Murdoch stays behind.) and the door that is by the School corridor will be the library door too issue and return. There will be no library lesson time it will be just a quick return and issue every week because Mrs.Murdoch doesn't want the classes to annoy Room 14 when it's finished.

Because the school is expanding, some Juniors are getting moved up to the Middle School then some of the Middle Schoolers are going to Room 6 & 7. Some of Room 6&7's Yr5's will be moved into Room 9 (which is our classroom). Room 8 will stay the same because they already have 31 children.

The Happy Old Mole!!

                   Chapter 1

Once upon a time there was a happy old Mole walking alone on the river bank.  Although the Mole was wearing a good suit he was still an old Mole.

Soon Mole bumped into Frog. “Hi Frog,” said Mole, “do you want to come to my house?”

                               Chapter 2

Frog agreed and when Mole and Frog got home Mole went and made a cup of coffee for Frog and put out some biscuits.

When Frog left Mole went to the supermarket to find some nice juicy bugs for dinner.

When Mole got back and ate his dinner and it was time to go to sleep.

                    Chapter 3

The next morning Mole woke up and decided to go for a walk again. This time Mole bumped into Badger and said excitedly “Oh my gosh Badger, do you want to go to my house and have same tea?”

“Certainly,” said Badger, so off they went to Mole’s house to have same tea.

                     Chapter 4

The next day Mole wanted to go on a boat trip down the river but he didn’t have a boat so he had to buy one.

Ratty was only too happy to sell him a boat and agreed to take Mole out to the river to teach him how to row his brand new boat.

                                  Chapter 5

When he was good enough, Mole decided to go for a long trip on the river. Ratty came along for the ride. After a while they came to a haunted valley that Ratty had never seen before.

Then Mole found a secret lair. Suddenly “Mwaaaa!” said a voice in the middle of nowhere. Mole and Ratty rowed for their lives.

                    Chapter 6

When Mole got out of the haunted valley there was a smooth lake until he hit a rock “I hit the raging rapids Aaaaaaa!” he yelled.

When Mole got to the bottom of the rapids he was still screaming his head off.

STRIKE!!!!!!

Lately Strike has visited our school with a outstanding performance with Drums, Fire, Fresh Up Cans and Marimba.

Strike is a musical percussion group that travel around the world, they play in music festivals and on shows as well as at schools. They are known for their loud music and beats.

At First they started with a loud rhythm and beat on the drums then they did a song on the Marimba it was very relaxing.  They then were straight in with volunteers that were teachers and then some kids.

After that they were doing a build up of songs so they started with one and then another one came in and so on. They then made everyone need a drink because they used fresh up cans with a hand performance, that made everyone wonder.

They started spraying  fire with "special spray" when they did that, they put fire onto a stick and sprayed the fire with the " special spray " to make it go everywhere. It was very clever because what the kids didn't know was that the burning fire balls created a beat.

The final finale was when they did the loudest song they ever did which was called " Little Seagulls " and some people thought " Little Seagulls are peaceful and it wasn't peaceful at all "
