We are enjoying having a wonderful learning space. Our classroom is a great place to learn and we are quickly settling back into life as it was before our classroom was painted. People ar erespecting the new furnature and new learning spaces that have been made. Come up and see us working in our new space.

Cross Country

Cross Country.
On Tuesday 24th of 2010,Rooms 3 and 5 went to Balmacewen Intermediate School to participate in the Northern Zone Cross Country.
At first when the children arrived they sat down and waited for the first race to begin. While they waited they looked at the distance that they were going to run and the track that they would be following.
Everyone had a gaol with their running. Some children set themselves a gaol to complete a lap around the field. There was a chance to pull out if
they wanted to. Some parts of the track you had to run down a steep hill and another part where you had to run up a very steep hill. It was hard to run up and down the
hill because the grass was very wet. At the end we had to run through a strip and we all got a number on our hands.
Everyone did very well. Two people from our class made
it into the Otago Championships. Two girls from our school made
it into the top ten .One from room 3 and one from room 5 .

Nga Kemu Maori ano

We are just loving the new games that we are learning each week. This time we learnt a variation on Tug-of-War. You needed strength and agility to really bet your opponent. We finished with a Hawaiian game called Ulu Maika that saw us having a good eye hand co ordination to try and get a ball through a target. This game enabled us to challenge each other. A great skill for those budding cricket players.
