An Afternoon of Wheels



'Twas the weeks leading up to Christmas,
Santa was finishing off the naughty and nice list.
Rudolph was bored and wanted to help.
Instead he stood on an elf. Oh what a yelp!
Even wrapping the presents was a huge disaster,
He couldn't find the tape and instead used sticking plaster.
The elves sent him out,
Even the jolly old fellow started to pout.
"Oh, I am so bored!" he cried out despondent.
"I just tried to help." And off he wandered.
Across the court and over the mountains,
Through the meadows and under the fountains,
He wandered for what seemed like an age.
Every step that he took put him more in a rage.
Eventually his legs just came to a halt.
He had realised all the chaos really was his fault.
He turned to go home, but didn't know how
He had come to be in this place he was standing in now.
"Where could I be?" he wondered out loud.
"Lost in Canada!" the mighty moose growled.
And that, my friends, is the story of how poor Rudolph came to be lost in Canada. 

In Koru Hub over the past few weeks we have been trying to help Rudolph find his way back to the North Pole. As we have been following our hub routines and treating others well Rudolph has been slowly making his way back to the North Pole and now he is almost there. To celebrate his return to the North Pole Koru Hub will be having a Wheels Afternoon. Students are invited to bring any non-motorised wheel machine - bikes, scooters, skateboards, roller skates, etc. 

The afternoon will consist of wheeling around and admiring each other's wheel machines. We'll set up a course for students to wheel around and we'll also have a wheel beauty salon where students can dress their wheel machines up.

Koru Camp 2014



Check out some of our camp photos at the wonderful Wellesley Country Park.

On Thursday we saw heaps of interesting animals at Staglands, enjoyed exploring our camp site, played cricket, AFL and roasted marshmallows. Friday begun with drizzle that got a little heavier throughout the morning. A change in plans had us going on a 'Forbidden Walk' across the 'Forbidden Bridge' and completing a camp alphabet hunt. After tidying up, packing bags and eating lunch we ended with a movie.

Thanks to all the parents who assisted us and well done to all the children for great participation.

Have a great Christmas and holiday break everyone.

Amazing Writing

Check out these amazing pieces of writing by two of our Year 2 students.

Unfortunately
Dave was having a lovely  walk in the forest singing “Doo dooo I am having a good life laa laaa. I like the flowers that are growing laa! It is a good November 1o95. This forest is the best. It was a good idea to have a walk in it. Maybe I should do it next year.Dave walked and walked and walked and walked. He was a happy boy that Dave but Dave started to miss his family because he hadn't seen them for days. He was worried about his family. He was sad about his family.

Unfortunately a humongous hungry loin ran to Dave. Fortunately Dave climbed up the tallest tree in the forest. He he ha ha! said Dave. The loin was trying to climb the tree but he could not climb the tree. Roar! said the lion and with a flash the loin went away. Yay! said Dave. In your face lion!

Unfortunately a giant blue strong snake was the tree! Dave didn't notice that. The snake opened his eyes and hissed and hissed. Dave jumped off the tree, aka the snake. When Dave got off the snake he looked behind and said “Oh my!” Fortunately Dave found a sword that was glowing. He picked up the sword. The snake was so scared of the sword that he slithered away.

Unfortunately a giant came holding a spiky weapon in his hand. He had big smelly hairy feet. Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! He had big black spiky hair. “Oh my” said Dave. Fortunately the giant was nice. “Oh what a relief” said Dave.

My Mum
My mum is called Nicole. She has curly red hair and light skin. My mum likes her husband James and 2 girls Ellen-Rose and Emmaline. She mostly wears a top and jeans or clothes that suit the weather. My mum also wears dark clothes. I love my mum so much! She is like my guard. She is very polite and kind. She is very nice and to describe her I would say she gives me hugs and kisses. She works so hard and when I say hard I mean hard! My mum never ever lies. I think me and my sister have the best mum in the world!
