Hair Styles

We are room 10  from Sylvia Park. We are investigating hair styles. We are learning how to describe different hair styles and how to take care of our own hair and make it look cool.  Last Wednesday we went to Neway Barbers in Mt Wellington. We met Lenny and Jo who gave Nathan, Keenen and Michael cool new hair cuts. Thanks Lenny and Jo!!! We had a great time at the Barbers.

What a great start to the new year! 

The Senior School celebrated the Chinese New Year in style. The staff re-enacted the origins of the tradition and then we had a visit from a Lion dancing group. The students got to taste some special Chinese treats too! Thanks to all the staff for co-ordinating and participating in such a fantastic event!
