National Jandal Day



We celebrated the great work of our local Surf Lifeguards on Thursday by supporting National Jandal Day. Since 1910, Surf Lifeguards have been patrolling our beaches in their jandals.

For more information, have a look at the Surf Lifesaving New Zealand website or the National Jandal Day page on Facebook.

We decorated our jandals creatively and showed them off in a parade. The Teachers made some tough decisions in awarding the Junior School jandal prize to Kayden, and the Senior School's to Max. Well done boys, some excellent creating, innovating and imagining there!

Dear Room 2 Rockets
At first we didn't know what jandals were. In Australia we call them thongs or flipflops.
We love your thongs. We like the one with the balloon on it. How long did it take to decorate them? From Xavier and Alex

Hi Room 2 Rockets,

I love your fancy jandals. It must have been hard to choose a winner.
I have learned something new from your blog today. I now know what jandals are. In Melbourne, we call them thongs!

Keep up the great work.

Well done Room 2. Your jandals were very creative. We liked the sparkles and especially the raindrops. Did you raise some money for the Surf Lifeguards? We are very lucky in New Zealand to have Lifeguards patrolling our beaches in the summer holidays.
Are you going on a class trip for the end of the year? We are going to the Hamilton Gardens for an 'Amazing Race Day'.
We are all going on holiday next week. We wish you all 'Happy Holidays' with your families.

WoW room 2 rockets I loved the jandals with the white ballon. It looked awesome. We do "Loud shirt day" instead of "National Jandal day". How much money did you get?

That is such a great idea! We were a bit confused by the word jandals, because in England we call them flipflops.

How long did it take to make?

Well done for producing such creative jandals.
