Waimarino

Last week the senior syndicate went to Waimarino for year 7\8. There was the blob which you had to wear a life jacket and a helmet. There was the UFO it had a trampoline and a mini blob, a slide and a rolling pin. There is a big diving board and a little diving board and a rope swing it was a long drive but it was all worth it. There was also a slide Mrs Rendell has still got a sore bum from it. The first half of the day we got to enjoy all of these activities. The second half we spent it kayaking. The kayaking was lots of fun, but mine tipped over and sunk. Lots of people showed they had some skills standing in the kayaks and we had to make long chains called rafting-up. It was heaps of fun.

Camp

This term our school had yr 7 and 8 camp we climbed up the mountain. It took more than 2 hours to get up there and I died. It was so hard to get up to the top but I managed, plus the view was so worth the hard work we put in. We had lots of helpers and parents it really means a lot.

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.
