Our Great Kiwi Morning Tea!

Great Kiwi Morning Tea from Kieren Moriarty on Vimeo.


Our Great Kiwi Morning Tea was amazing!  We raised $820 for our kiwi, our National Icon. A huge thank you to Mrs Carr, our amazing organiser; Dom, our inspiration; Rimu Whanau, our genius bakers; and Parkvale School, our amazing supporters. You all made it happen!

Today we received an email (including a thank you video) from Kiwis for Kiwi.

I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone at Parkvale School for your amazing efforts and raising $820 with the Great Kiwi Morning Tea. That's just brilliant! 

I did a little video to say thank you if you'd like to show it to your students. Please find attached.

Your receipt and certificate are in the post.

Thank you again for your fantastic support.

Best regards,

Sarah

The best thing about the video is that Sarah Nutbrown shared that our $820 will protect eight kiwis for a year. Wow!

Great Kiwi Morning Tea Tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the Great Kiwi Morning Tea. Rimu will have a cake stall. Baking will cost from 50c to $2 (depending on the item). All the money is going towards helping save the kiwi: “to help protect kiwi and the places they live. Because we can’t imagine New Zealand without kiwi.”

Here's a preview of our wonderful goodies for tomorrows bake sale. So many choices and I think there's more to come. Thank you to our great Rimu Whanau for their efforts, everything looks delicious.

Please buy me. I'm cute!

Our national icon.

The baking is rolling in!

What Do Parkvale Teachers Do After School?

Here is our assembly item from last week. The students enjoyed performing and the rest of us enjoyed watching. Well done to Keighan, Liske, Victoria, Ruby, Bella, Brayden, Khushi and Jodi who wrote the script with the talented Mrs Carr! Their script is below the video.

What do teachers do after school?

Narrators

Keighan & Liske

Victoria & Ruby

Bella & Brayden

Khushi & Jodi

Start in a line wave in a half circle.

Narrators: What do teachers do after school?

What do teachers do when the bell rings at quarter to three

When you hurry home so glad to be free

When the classrooms are hushed and the hallways are too

When everyone’s gone what do teachers do.

(ALL TEACHERS WAVING)

Do they start to play sports?

(Taylah M and Skyla step forward, Skyla blows the whistle and they start passing the ball)

Do Mrs Miller and Mrs Love jump to the courts

for a friendly game of netball?

Or does Mr M race to staffroom in a blink

for game of  basketball in the sink?  

(MAC is pretending to shoot the basketball into the sink (Bucket))

Or will we see Mr Ford

Out on the pitch

Juggling soccer balls over a ditch?

(Mitch Steps forward soccer tricks)

Or will we see Miss Major, Mrs England and Mrs Kelly

doing cartwheels, handsprings with legs that are jelly

(Oscar W, Karamea Rain doing gymnastic tricks cartwheels)

Or do we hear complaints from Mrs Ramsay

Being dragged up a hill

By Mrs Hill’s drills

(Naomi and Mya Wanden…..)

Or do we see Mrs Beswick on her sewing machine

Fixing and mending the holes in her daughters jeans?

(Sage pretending to sew on a machine, hold up fabric with a hole in them)

Or could we find Mrs Reid and Miss HIll away their room

Chewing on lollies and playing hockey with a broom?  

(Nixie pretend to eat  lollies and caitlin pretends to play hockey with a broom)

Next we are out in the garden spying

these two songbirds, a song supplying

Mr Wright with the tune and Mrs Frewin with the beat

                      Singing peacefully out on a seat

(Charlie and Reuben strum guitar and hum a song)

Is it Miss Pohe and Mrs Lowe practicing a song or two

strumming the strings singing it loud and true

(Mya Wallace and Ella sing Tutira Mai Nga Iwi)

                  

Now taking the stage is

Mrs Carr’s facebook page,

Starring her horse

And selfies of course

(Maia Willaims holding a phone and a hobby horse taking a selfie)    

                       Baking cookies and other goodies  

Miss plimmer and Miss jacket,

Are causing a racket,

These two mysterious teachers are alone in the kitchen

(Amie and Reese have a bowl and and spoon mixing)

But where on earth is Mr Dickson

(Aston, feet up on the desk relaxing back with disco ball headphones on bobbing head)

Finally we see Mr G alone in his office,

Disco ball sparkling, playing music he took off us

knock knock knock

(Camden Steps forward and Pretends to knock on the door)

Aston: …. Hello Mr D-

shoving the disco ball under his knee

(Amie and Reese cross the stage towards Mr D and Mr G who are having a party)

The smell from the kitchen is coming this way

as the ladies come to treat them on this last day of May

After a while when it starts to get dark,

will they leave for home or is  time to party with Mark

(Everyone freestyle dancing)

Will they run for the hall and jump on the stage

and start to boogie, boom the music and forget their age .

Time to have fun

but where is someone?

(Dance to the sides)

Pac man music

Everyone: GASP  Mr Kenny!
