Kelvin Road Celebrates Book Week

This week, Kelvin Road School has been promoting reading through a variety of activities, which ended with a book character parade on Friday. Niva Retimanu opened Book Week on Monday with her favourite story 'Kiss! Kiss! Yuck! Yuck! We also had David Kemeys- the chief editor of Sunday Star and Lyn Kriegler an illustrator and author who taught us how she creates her stories using puppets and lots of imagination.

During the week, children read as many books as they could so that they could add a reading block to the book wall to create a collage of favourite stories. Some of the cool activities included making book marks, entering poster competitions, quiz and library hunt and entertainment with Starfish.
The parade was a fantastic event, which saw favourite book characters brought to life on stage. Willie Iosa came to talk with many of the characters and enjoy the last day of our book week fun.

Variety Bash Visits Kelvin Road School

Today the Variety Bash came to Kelvin Road School to raise money for The Children's Charity, which is dedicated to helping sick, disadvantaged and disabled children around the world. The very unique Variety Bash laid out a mad-cap adventure full of eccentric vehicles, unusual characters and heart-felt generosity. The Variety Bash travels hundreds of kilometres every year raising funds, distributing grants and telling the Variety story.

During their visit to Kelvin Road, the team at Variety Bash handed out 6 brand new bikes to 6 hard working children;  Angelina Kaulave,   Patrick Snell, Tyson Angell, Dhay-Sharnah Harris, TeManapouri Wera, Hine Maurea Pahina

The Children's Charity is the fun way to help Kiwi kids. Variety is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary in New Zealand. Since 1989, Variety has distributed more than $11.7 million to Kiwi kids in need.

Thank you Variety Bash!
