Year 7 & 8 Manual

Yesterday the year 7 & 8 students went to Manual in Ashburton. It is being held at the Ashburton A & P Show Grounds because the old Manual building is re-done.

The Year 7's (Thea, Olivia, Kate, Annabel and Joseph) are half-way through making their Pewter Jewellery with Mr. Browne and are nearly finished their Wind Sock with Mrs.C.

Zabina and other Year 8's are making Polar Fleece Hats with Mrs.C. She is also making a Wooden Photo Album with Mr.Browne.

Book week

Last week it was book week. Well done to all the winners of our dress up competition. All the children had wonderful costumes on - they all looked very real. Team Toroa made Business Cards for our book character and put them on the wall.  We had to come up with a slogan for our character.
We hope all parents liked the parade that we put on for them. The best part about it was the cat walk.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Nicholas Johansen-Smith and Timothy Bassett    

          

Dress up Day

On Thursday 26th May, Dorie School dressed up as their favourite book character.  Mrs Townshend dressed up as a pirate from 'The man whose mother was a pirate', Ms Reader dressed up as Casper, Miss A dressed up as Pippy Long Stockings, Ms Walls dressed up as the BFG and Mrs Benny dressed up as Harry Hobnail from 'Pungapeople'.  We had a parade in the morning to show off our costumes (and great modelling skills!) It was a fabulous day!!

Preschool Buddy Reading

Was your choice of picture book appropriate for the Preschool?

What made it appropriate or inappropriate?

Mrs T was very proud of you all Team Toroa!  You were great caring leaders!  Well done :)

Cross country

On Tuesday 17th May Dorie and Rakaia school did cross country. Dorie mostly won all of the races. It was a fun day. The junior were lucky because they only ran around the rugby field and up the hill.

Super Speedy Dorie Runners!

Yesterday, Dorie competed against Rakaia School for Cross Country. All the Dorie students ran hard out - the training that they had done helped a lot.
Many students from Dorie got good placings in their races.  It was good to see Dorie people cheering for our fantastic runners.
Keep an eye out for us at the Counties...
