Stonefields - Hub 4 Opening, June 16, 2014

Below is an account of the day by Room 11, the Sylvia Park Satellite Class.

Today we went to Stonefields School to perform on behalf of Sommerville Special School at the Hub 4 official opening.  Hub 4 is the new Sommerville Satellite class at Stonefields.

It was a lovely day and we really enjoyed sharing our dance with the students and parents.

(Just waiting on video footage to share but below you can find some images from the day.  
The children viewed our photos upon returning to school and helped me to write the sentences you see on each image this afternoon.)

Concert Report by Edgewater 3

We enjoyed the APO Young Achievers concert at the Central City Library,

A violin.
 Every year the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra chooses the most talented young musicians and provides opportunities for them to develop their potential through a mentoring programme. We welcome these young stars to our series in a programme featuring a variety of instruments.
