SWIMMING SPORTS

On Monday we started the week off with a splash! It was great to see so many students giving it their all at Swimming Sports. Thank you so much to all the parent helpers, we could not have done this day without you. Good luck to all those selected to go to Districts Swimming Sports this Thursday.

This week at school we had Tuakana Teina. Room 2 was split into two groups. Half went to room 9 and half went to room 11. In room 9 and 11 we found some juniors to be our partners and got to know each other, by asking and answering some questions. After that our teachers came around and asked questions that we had learnt about the younger students. It was really awesome to get to know the younger students in the school.

On Thursday the 9th of February was meet the teacher evening it started at 5:30 and went till 7:00.  The evening involved bringing your own little picnic and then moving on to meeting the staff. That was followed by walking around the classrooms learning about what happens during school-time and allowing the parents to ask any questions they would like answered.

We had a great turn out.
