Alien Landers!

An alien spacecraft has been spotted orbiting Earth. They are a peaceful species and wish to share their advanced technology with the human race. But they need our help!

Thank you Lee Bullivant for teaching Room 3.

Be smart with our money!

This is Jeremy. He was sponsored by the A.S.B Bank to come and teach us financial literacy. Basically how to be smart with our money.
We like the advice his big brother gave him. With money,'make it sprinkle, not rain or else you will be in drought!' This means it is o.k to spend your money on things you like and your friends, but be sure to save a bit too; so when you need it you still have some left.

Thanks to The Heart Foundation and Pak'n'Save!

We were all enjoying being lunchbox legends. 

Lunchbox legends eat the food of champions.
