Congratulations to this week's Stars of the Week, who are:

Fatimah Shafiyee in Titoki

Fatimah is looking forward to her first Athletics Day and has been practising her running and the long jump.  This morning in class she has been practising her writing which she enjoys doing, and she also likes to listen to the teacher reading stories.  This week we have a long weekend and she is looking forward to having lots of fun at home.

Josiah Wells in Kawakawa

Josiah has also been practising for Athletics Day and said his favourite event is running, as he is a fast runner.  He said his least favourite is shot put.  This morning he has enjoyed having a game of all in tag.  Josiah's Aunty is getting married soon and he hopes it could be this weekend, as they will have a big party and lots of yummy cake.

Simrat Singh in Kowhai

Simrat said she is good at long jump and is looking forward to competing in the athletics.  She enjoys taking part in sport outside of school and has lessons in gymnastics and cricket.  Simrat has a baby sister to keep her busy at home, but is hoping to go to the pool for a swim this weekend, and she is also hoping her Dad will bring home some delicious food from his restaurant.
