The Argentine Tango

This term has ended with a fantastic night of dance at the Isaac Theatre Royal in the annual Dancing Like the Stars show.

Rimu Class worked with dance teachers Gloria and Graham throughout term 2 and have learned the Argentine Tango.  For many of us, it was the first time experiencing this form of dance and performing to such a large audience.

Lovely Library Time

Our library is on the move soon as we begin to get our building ready for renovations.  Today Rimu Class went to the library to select books we enjoy reading.  Mrs Pam has worked hard with a number of students to create interesting displays that reflect the different cultures within our school, ways we celebrate and areas where we can make use of and enjoy this very special place.  

Having a look at the countries that our students come from.

These poppies are tribute to family members who served in war.

There's something special about sharing and enjoying a good book.

Engrossed in reading.

Student librarians have things under control.

No photo bombers...that's a first for Rimu.  They must be really enjoying what they are reading.

Today we had our first dance class as we prepare for our performance for Dancing Like The Stars.  We are lucky to have Graham and Gloria who will be working with us for the rest of the term.  We will be learning the Tango.

We have already shown great attitudes and dancing skills so are looking forward to seeing how this develops.
