Horton has the Addington Attutude

Yesterday we read the book, ‘Horton Hatches the Egg’.  Afterwards we talked about all of Horton’s qualities. 
We thought that Horton would be a GREAT role model for our school. 
Horton showed the following qualities...
Integrity
Responsibility
Resiliance
Passion
Respect
Acceptance
Risk Taking
Caring
We would love to have Horton at our school.

We're Back

We are back. After all our earthquake disruptions and holidays we are now on board and looking forward to another event full term. 
Since the 7.1 magnitude earthquake we have had the grand total of 1908 aftershocks. The last one today was magnitude  4.41 at 9.28 am.  Consequently we are still having very regular earthquake drills. 
Last term our school took part in the Christchurch Primary School’s Cultural Festival. We had three groups involved Te Tipuranga, Nga Matikao and our school Ukulele Orchestra.



We hope you enjoy the pictures of the children performing on stage at the Town Hall on Thursday 2 September.
