HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY!

ELECTIVES SHARING

To celebrate our last day of Electives, we had a sharing time in the hall.  There were lots of great Electives this term: Construction, 3D Art, Woolly Workers, Tie Dying, S.T.E.M, Animaltastic Art and Kapa Haka.

ATHLETICS DAY

Despite the chilly weather, the Room 11 children had a wonderful day at the school athletic sports. They participated in high jump, relays, discus, shot-put, 800 metres, sprints, long jump, hurdles and an obstacle course.

Here we are enjoying our lunch and taking a break from the activities:

Congratulations to our class relay team.  They have been training extra hard at school and WON the race today!  Hooray!  Mrs McCulley was cheering so much, she now has a croaky voice!

Today we were definitely ACTIVE, POSITIVE AND PROUD!
