Connected, Life-Long Learners' at Edendale
Primary School.

Ben is our MVP because he displays our
learning and character values as a Team Kea

We had a visit from the Southland District Council Library
lady to tell us about the Summer Reading Kids Challenge. 
It is very important we keep 'learning fit' over the school
holidays by reading everyday.

Skipping is fun and we have all learnt some great skills at
fitness this term.

way to finish an awesome year!

Bear books and know lots about P.B.'s adventures in London.
Mrs Pask has got some beautiful Paddington Bear books in
our library for us to enjoy.

is very rewarding to know you have worked hard to
achieve your goals.

Noe, was the Team Kea MVP at Celebration Time
last week.  Noe models our Learning Value of persistence.
Congratulations Noe, you are a great leaner who is
working really hard and keeps trying.  You always
stick with a task and finish it.

 shared it at Celebration Time.  Lauren is very
good at using her word card and finding words
around our room to use in her writing.

Paddington thought he should also join in the fun!

Playing non stop cricket was alot of fun for fitness on
such a beautiful spring day.

We had a visit from Elgrego this week and he performed
lots of magic tricks.  Elgregoe used our values as he
talked about being a HERO.  We all like to be HEROES
because we like to always treat other people how we
want to be treated.
