Still Dancing with the Stars!

With so many wonderful movies created for the Manaiakalani Film Festival by all the different classes at Point England, we weren't able to watch every one at Hoyts Sylvia Park on the day of the film festival.  Today we held our own Film Festival in the school hall to celebrate these 26 movies on our own big screen.

Just as they did at Sylvia Park, Tepaia and Jedida did a marvellous job of introducing our Room 9 movie to the whole school.

Our ballet trip

A few lucky learners in Rooms 9 and 10 were part of a group of PES students who attended the school matinee performance of Romeo and Juliet by the Royal New Zealand Ballet at the Aotea Centre in the city this afternoon.  As well as the trip into town on the very plush bus, everyone was blown away by the magic of the set, dancing, costumes and music.

Blogging's a blast!

Congratulations to our July holiday bloggers: Jedida, Tepaia, Trinity T, Brooklyn, Sonnia and Devontae. Rachael Williams presented each of them with a certificate at assembly today to recognise their commitment to blogging during the holidays. Whether it was blogging about the holidays or completing activities as part of the Winter Learning Journey, they all had a blast! Ka mau te wehi!

Our generally awesome camp!

With so many amazing experiences and images to share from our Year 5 and 6 camp, it was tricky to decide what to include in our movie created for PENN today. Thank you Roshaan, Tepaia, Jedida and Donte for sharing your highlights of this adventure so clearly with everyone.
