Roll Model Assembly

   

It was a great pleasure and honour to have Linda Vagana, a top class athlete and also the General Manager of Duffy Books in Homes in our school. She spoke and then presented the Duffy Books to some of our students.   As you can see from the photos the students were delighted to meet Linda and I am sure that these Duffy books will have a special place on their book shelves.

The Argentinean Orchestra of Indigenous Instruments and new technologies
As you can see from the photos, the Argentinean orchestra treated us to a wonderful interactive performance.  Thank you to Sue James of the Kerikeri Arts Festival for arranging for them to perform at our school.  At the conclusion of the performance, the conductor invited the students who could make bird or animal sounds up to the front.  These students and the students still seated were formed into an orchestra of sound, movement and dance.  No one wanted the performance to end and the students were still waiting for more when everything finally came to an end an hour and a half later!
St Patrick’s Day Mufti
    The Y8 winners. The Y7 winners.
The St Patrick’s Day, mufti was a great success.  So many students came along dressed in green that it was difficult to pick the winners.  The judges had their work cut out for them.

 

Kauri Syndicate Camp at Ahipara

The students of KIS Kauri syndicate certainly showed that they could live off the local kaimoana.  Day two’s dinner was a smorgasbord of fish and shellfish.  On offer were battered fish, raw fish, pipi baskets, pipi and mussel fritters, kina and boiled fish.  For breakfast on day three they tucked into the left overs including the fish bones baked in cream and onions!!! All of these were caught or collected by the students.
KIS Swimming Sports

As you can see from the photo’s everyone had a great time.  The class relays were once again a highlight and  Room 2 won this event.  Congratulations, Room 2 well done.
 

At the end of the show he was asked by one of our students to play the theme song to Titanic. Without hesitation he played the song and it was perfect.
Stuart Bryan (Kowhai, Rm 3) ended our session with a ‘Thank you’ speech. Hopefully we get to see him in the future.

The
FIDDLER
Today we had the privilege of listening to a violinist, Mr MacKay, who has travelled up from Dunedin with his dog Pippa. His ambition is to play in every school in New Zealand!
He played a variety of styles from Jazz, to classical, traditional and some popular tunes for our entertainment. He introduced us to his dog Pippa, who performed a range of different tricks, like barking at the right place to us singing “How much is that doggy in the window?” sitting, crawling, lying down and dancing. It was not one of her better performances we were told, but we thought she was great. She put a smile on all our faces.
Mr MacKay showed us how he was able to create different sounds from his violin.
His impression of the bagpipes was really incredible, playing ‘Amazing Grace’. We all thought he actually had bagpipes, but it was his violin. He also played ‘Flight of the Bumblebees.’
He showed us how his bow was made of a white horses tail and how many vibrations made up a note, somewhere between 100 and 2000.
