Playground Update...

Playground Group

By Maya

At Victoria Avenue School we have a playground group because two of our playgrounds need rebuilding. The playground group is a group built from someone from every class except for year 1s and 0s! 

We have met with 2 professionals. Jenny and Leith. Jenny works for Park Supplies and Leith works for Playground People. 

We as the playground group have decided to go with Leith and Playground People to design new playgrounds for our school.

Reusable Bag Competition

We ran a Reusable Bag Design Competition in Term 3. 

The prize winners were:

Year 1 - Marina - Room 14

Year 2 - Robbie - Room 8

Year 3 - Crystal - Room 20

The winning designs are currently being transferred onto attractive, good quality, hessian bags. 

Check out pictures of the awesome designs below.

Look out for details in the school newsletter in Term 4 of where and when the bags will be on sale.

Just think...you can save the planet, donate money to the school AND do your Christmas shopping with one simple purchase!

As part of our Travelwise Programme we offer a Scooter Skills session each year to Years 1, 2 and 3. The initiative was developed by Auckland Transport and Auckland Police and is delivered at VAS by Constable Gordon our Community Police Officer. Room 8 had a super time on Thursday learning how to scoot safely with Constable Gordon!

Fluro Day at VAS! This fun day is to encourage the children to wear bright clothing when they are out and about so they are more visible to drivers.

The Walking School Bus mascot visited VAS and gave out treats to the children who take the Walking School Bus!

Have you heard about out Positive Parking Promotion? If you park safely and considerately you may be lucky enough to receive a coffee voucher for Shore Road Cafe! Park wisely and look out for our Travelwise Team!

Check out the VAS Green Team. This is a Junior School initiative that involves a different class each week picking up litter that they find around the school.
