SPECIAL VISITOR

We were VERY lucky to have Norm Hewitt and Whaea Shelley from the SPCA visit our school last week and our class was EXTRA lucky to have some one on one time with him after his presentation. He talked to us about doing the Haka in front of thousands of people and how he grew up. It was so cool listening to him and he was SUPER funny.

Student of the Week

JACK POL


Jack is a student who works conscientiously and gets on with the job at hand. I was really impressed with his Role Model biography. It was well researched and was written in his own words. I found it interesting and easy to read. Keep working hard Jack - and thank you for being a student who is always willing to help out.

Student of the Week - Week 3

This week I have selected Hamish Insley. His overall classroom effort is outstanding, I was impressed with the effort he made during our first Haka training on Thursday. He is also auditioning for a part in the school production this year. Hamish is always polite and helpful and works hard in all his subjects. He shows leadership qualities and takes pride in being a positive role model. Well done Hamish, enjoy your tuckshop lunch!

YoYo Fitness Test 2012

We are currently completing lots of different fitness tests this term to find out where our strengths are and areas that we need to work on to increase our fitness levels. So far we have completed the 12 Minute Run, the Stork Stand, Alternate Hand Catch, Plank/Bridge, Sit Ups, Illinois Agility Run, Beep Test, YoYo Intermittent Recovery Test, and Wall Squat. We still need to complete the 40m Sprint and the Standing Broad Jump. It has been awesome to see what we are capable of!

Go Bush Walk - 13km!

They got knocked down but they got up again! Walking into Go Bush was very wet and muddy which resulted in lots of crashes and tumbles!
