HAPPY DIWALI!

PCS celebrated Diwali on Wednesday 11 November by having our own PCS Diwali dance-off. It was very entertaining and all the performers looked beautiful and brightly coloured in their elaborate traditional costumes. Many of our PCS whanau also got dressed up proudly for the day. We hope everyone who celebrates Diwali enjoy the wonderful festivities during this time.
Happy Diwali!!

Here are Sneha and Trinity from Rm 26 beautifully dressed up for Diwali.
Thank you to all the students who brought in Diwali treats, in particular Sneha and her family for the lovely Diwali sweets brought in for the whole class and teachers (sorry no photo of these as they were all devoured before we could yum yum!! )

PCS Orchestra

This week we had the privilege of sitting in on the orchestra's dress rehearsal for the Tironui Music Concert which will be held at the Vodafone Events Centre next Monday night.
All we can say is Wow!! What a spectacular performance we witnessed from the year 5s and 6s - you are all amazing and we wish you the best of luck next week.
From Rm 26, we would particularly like to special mention Braxton, Heather, Dashik, Irshaad and Nikayla - give it your all and enjoy every minute!

TERM 4

Welcome Back!

Great to have everyone back safely from the school holidays. We're all pumped because it's the final term but also we're looking forward to camp in Week 7! We also can't believe it's the final part of our primary schooling, we will be sad to see it end and part from some of our friends however, also excited for what's up ahead in the future at intermediate. In the meantime, we still have another hardworking term to complete before we can relax and enjoy our graduation at the end of the year.

PCS Talent Show 2015

The PCS Talent Show was another success this year, thanks to all the amazing performers, the Student Council and Mrs Nand! It was a spectacular show and definitely a highlight in 2015. You are all STARS. Lanijane, Raeleigh, Raeolyn and Nathanael were the stars of Rm 26 and we are so very proud of all of you - you all rocked!!

This years Talent Show was a blast! Raeleigh, Raeolyn, Nathaneal and I were very delighted when we all made it in, and we were even more luckier to perform in front of a massive audience. When I called Raeleigh on the phone to discuss what we were going to wear, I came up with a decent idea of wearing sequins on our face. We both thought the idea was Kool with a capital K (Isn't it C).

On the day Raeleigh turned up beautiful, I told her that she sort of looked like Catwoman and she finished that sentence of with a 'Meow.' We walked to the hall, as we entered half of the student councilors were running around trying to sort everything out and soon, I joined in. When the Talent Show started, I started getting butterflies in my stomach, I was sooooo nervous. Amber, Sandeep, Lexie and me were the announcers. I had 5 speeches (only because I was doing 2 performances as well).

Raeleigh and my dance was 16th and my singing was 4th to last, this is where I had something special tucked up my sleeve. Finally our time to shine came, I danced my heart out and I could see Raeleigh was too. I did muddle up one move but eventually I got over it. Our song finished and I ran into the back door to do a quick change. I slipped my other clothes on and rushed back outside just in time to announce one of my speaking parts.

After a couple of performances it was my turn to perform my 2nd act, which was a song. When I sang I caught some people a  bit tearful which made me tear a bit as well. I felt good about both of my performances and I was grateful that I had made it in to both acts. 

P.S. Well Done to all the performers this year! =)

Gymnastics Zones 2015

The annual school gymnastics zones was held yesterday (Tuesday 22 September) at Gym City in Papatoetoe. Well done to Raeleigh, our sole class representative from Room 26 who tried her very best and did fantastically well in her individual events. We're very proud of you Raeleigh!

Yesterday was the Papatoetoe primary schools Gymnastics zones and it was held at Papatoetoe Gym City. As we entered the gym I was feeling so so nervous. We did a few minutes of warming up and then we got straight into it. Our first activity was the volt. For me, I especially had butterflies in my tummy because I was up first. Next was our beam and this time I wasn't so nervous. As I was on the beam I was fine and I had nothing to worry about. Finally it was time for our floor and I was also up first and once again I had done everything exactly how I had practiced and had a lot of confidence in me. All our hard work had paid of as I had come 1st in beam, 1st in floor and 2nd in volt out of the year 6 Papatoetoe central girls. A special thank you to our gymnastics coaches Miss Hanson and Miss Fok.
