The Year 5 & 6 interschool sports teams had a great afternoon playing against the students of Saint John Bosco School. Everybody played their best and we came away with some amazing results. You should all feel very proud of the way you represented our school. Well done everyone.

Mothers Day

 We have some lucky Mums in Room 7. All the students spent lots of time writing lovely messages to their mum and creating a beautiful card. Enjoy time together!

Des Hunt Visit

The Year 5 and 6 students attended a session with New Zealand Children's author Des Hunt. He writes fiction books based on science and technology. Des entertained the students with his stories. He shared a valuable message that if your work is first rejected, keep trying as eventually you will be successful. Authors such as Dr Seuss and J.K. Rowling had their stories rejected  by publishers many times before their work was accepted.

Skills For Life

Fun times with Manuel from Sport Taranaki - teaching the Room 7 students exciting new games that require skill and resilience.

Sign Language Week

Room 7 students were lucky enough to have Lisa, who has a hearing impairment, visit our class to give the students a 'taster' course in sign language. We are all now practising to ensure we become more familiar with New Zealand's third official language.

Road Patrol Training

A selection of Year 6 students completed their road patrol training this week with the local police education officers. The officers commented on the mature attitude our students displayed. Well done to everyone involved.

Barrett Lagoon Trip

Room 7 students were lucky enough to visit the Barrett Lagoon as part of our wetlands study. Mr Archer, from the Regional Council, shared lots of very interesting information about the area along with the importance of looking after wetlands.
