Speech Competition

Well done to Evelyn, Jake, Samuel and Sophie who were chosen to go to the team speech competition from room 12. Sophie then went through to the school wide competition and managed to get 3rd which was a brilliant result considering she was ill. You should all be proud of yourselves for doing so well!

Cross Country

We had 2 representatives in the North Zone Cross Country. Jake and Logan both did incredibly well. Jake came 2nd in the Year 3, 4 & 5 race! He will be going to the Otago Cross Country in week 7. We are so proud of both boys efforts - WELL DONE!

SPORT SKILLS & DRILLS

What an energetic morning we had at Edgar Centre on Friday with the Sports Institute coaches. We participated in a range of sports and had a lot of fun along the way.

CROSS COUNTRY

WOW! What a wonderful day we had for the cross country and everyone tried their hardest. We had a winner in room 12 - Well done to Jake Owen who won the Year 4 boys race!
We had others that placed well too for example Logan came 4th and Sophie came 6th in their races.

PYJAMA DAY

What a wonderful day we had on Friday in our PJs and onesies. Thank you to Jake Owen who took the photos because the children wanted me in the photo. Check out the range of sleepwear worn by the students in room 12 and the silly faces we can pull.

BRAINY BUNCH

R12 children are the brainy bunch and we were lucky to learn more about how our brains work. In the last week of term 2 we had the Life Education bus (Richard and Harold the Giraffe) teaching us about the brain in an interactive and fun way.

We also had the inflatable brain (see photos) in the hall and we got to hold a real brain if we wanted to!

On Friday we had Judy (Sinead's Mum) come and talk to us about the brain, she brought a client along who had a stroke years ago and had to retrain his brain. The children enjoyed asking him questions.
