Mobile Art Classroom

On Wednesday 21 September Room Kowhai ventured into the Real Art Roadshow to explore different forms of art work. This is a truck that travels around NZ showcasing the amazing art forms and works.

Beautifying East Gore

Check us out planting Hebe trees as part of a recycling partnership between EGSchool & the Gore Pakehe Lions Club. We currently recycle paper which is processed and turned back into paper. This project is overseen by the Gore Pakehe Lions Club. We are lucky to have one of their members on our staff - thanks Mr Ken Scott for overseeing this valuable project.

First Aid training

On Thursday 15 September EGSchool kids were treated to a session from Jo the First Aid development officer who taught us basic CPR skills. She also outlined emergency procedures and how to apply basic first aid skills to patients.

This was a very interesting and informative session - you just never know when we may need these skills.

Thanks Jo (0:

Harold visits us

This week we have been lucky to have Harold & Pip visit us with their Life Education Truck. Room Kowhai learnt about certain bodily functions and the purpose of them in our digestive system.
It was cool to catch up with Harold again. All children have a workbook which will be coming home next week.
