A Brilliant End ...

Well, it is the last day of Term 3 and what a term it has been. I think you will agree from all that we have blogged about, that we in Rimu have had an extremely busy term but a really fun term. I would like to thank all the children for their amazing work, for their determination to succeed and for being fabulous HERO's. You have made us all proud!

We said goodbye to Rihanna today and we wish her well at her new school in Nelson. Rihanna keep being amazing, we are going to miss you.


This term we have been reading the book Refugee by Alan Gratz. This is an absolutely brilliant book.

It is a woven tale of three children who lived in different centuries and who have to leave their homelands due to war and oppression. We have loved hearing about the struggles,  friendships and about their strength as a family. We refused to leave school this term until we had finished the book but we know that those children who were away today would have wanted to hear the end too, so here it is ....

Have a happy and safe holiday and we will see you back in Rimu on Monday 15th October :)

  2. Rimu, what a great term you have had. It seems so busy but it has sounded like you have learnt a lot. We won't be watching the video, as we aren't anywhere near finishing the book yet, but we are really enjoying it. We actually had dinner with a lady last night who works with an organisation who help refugees on Lesbos. It was interesting to hear about that.

    I'm sad that Rihanna is going to a new school and I don't get to say goodbye in person. I wish you all the best though Rihanna for Nelson. xo

    Have a great holiday everyone!
