A Message from Cowley team
Cowley Team’s thoughts on our trip to the Auckland Zoo
We were a very excited bunch of Cowley Team children, teachers and parents/caregivers heading to Auckland Zoo on Tuesday 20th of October. It was our first School Trip of the year and we were well prepared for a successful trip, rain or shine. The day was a perfect mixture of sunny and cloudy with a nice breeze to keep us cool during our outdoor education sessions. The children also enjoyed the relaxed pace of the self-guided portion of the trip and being able to explore the zoo with their classmates. What an amazing day we had learning about all the animals, their habitats and how animals adapt to their habitats!
We are studying Animals for our Inquiry Topic in Term 4 and here is a sample of things that the students want to know:
How fast does a cheetah run? Terrence
Why do cheetahs have spots? Saskia
How do penguins Move? Evie
Are cheetahs the fastest animal in the world? Zeven
What do kiwi eat? Natalie
How do flamingoes clean themselves? Allie
Do komodo dragons swim? Harry
Why do penguins love swimming? Huxley

School Assembly Changes for Term 4
Due to the increase in school roll size, we are now required to split our school assemblies into two. Therefore our Senior School Assemblies (Snell and Hillary) will be held at 9.15am on Fridays fortnightly and Junior Assemblies (Cowley and Kiri) will be held at 10.15am on the same fortnight. These are also listed on the school calendar.

Year 5 and 6 Junior Kids Lit team
We sent our year 5 and 6 Junior Kids Lit team off to compete at St Mary’s School on Thursday. This quiz is run by teacher and author, Leonie Agnew. The children read up to 12 set books and had to answer questions and quotes. Our year 5 team came 7th and our year 6 team came 11th. A great result. Well done to Isabel, Uliana, Liz, Lara, Nina, Casper, Drew and Max.
