Rounding up, but heating up



It’s amazing, only three weeks to go till the end of the year.

That means it is a very busy time.


This term we have been working hard and achieving heaps. There has been so much going on.

Where to start?

What about swimming, this term we have been heading down to the pool every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, to practice our swimming, that obviously means lots and lots of lengths, but also free swims on Fridays. It has been a great way to start the day and a lot of fun.


Lets move on to poetry, Bush, beach and shaped poetry. We have been doing so much writing/poetry this term, and it has been just fantastic, its great fun to express your thoughts and feelings and put it into writing. We have all thoroughly enjoyed it and there are some absolutely amazing poems.


Lets talk about other opportunities, like croquet. Around 12 people each Friday go and play croquet down at the club, they learn some cool skills and have some great fun.

Kapa Haka, last Tuesday the year 5 to 8 Kapa Haka group went on a bus to Maungaraki School, where we got the opportunity to perform in front of a audience of around 150 people, it was an awesome experience and everyone enjoyed it.

There has been a golf team heading out to Shandon Golf course every Tuesday.

Athletics was down at the Rec this year and was definitely the best ever.

Also on the agenda is the Year 8 trip to Abel Tasman and the year 7 E.O.T.C. week. The Year 8s have been tent pitching and meeting to discuss their big adventure. As well as formal dancing in preparation for the formal.
