Canterbury Kings visit to Oaklands

Today Todd Astle from the Canterbury Kings visited us and held a fun activity session as part of the Kings in School programme. Todd has played for the Black Caps and is a senior member of all 3 Canterbury teams (T20, 50 over and 4 day).

Here are a few photos of us enjoying ourselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The debut of the Teachers' Band - 10 Guitars

Today at the full school assembly saw the debut of the 'World Famous at Oaklands' Teachers' Band + one student. Playing the classic Ten Guitars they had the crowd swinging and singing as the good times rolled.

This is me presenting my dolphin passion project.I love thinking about dolphins, I always have. 

So I made a passion project about them. I looked at different websites and writing about it in my own words. My favourite bit was writing about echolocation which helps the dolphins hunt and find each other underwater. I think dolphins are cute and intelligent. My next passion projects will be Minecraft and wild animals.

The big money question is ...

What will happen to the 'old' $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 dollar notes when they are replaced by the new 'brighter' banknotes?
