Ki O Rahi Tournament

To end Matariki we had our Ki O Rahi tournament.  Four Teams faced off in a round robin tournament with the two finalists being the teams with the most accrued points.

Team Red; Talia, Ashleigh, Nikita, Patrick, Te Aute and Vaea played Team Blue; Hugo, Mrdina, Ethan, Jess, Fergus, Jeremiah and Alison in a hard fought and exctiting final.

At the end of full time the scores were tied at 2 all.

We played an extra minute each way to come up with a winner, in the last 30 seconds Team Blue scored the deciding point. Team Red were gracious in defeat and played a great game.

Gymsports Competition

Gymnastics

Ten children, Talia J, Hugo M, Jessica Mc, Ella L, Amie H, Leilani F, Alice B, Luca L P, Natalie S and Josie G went to Tristar gymnasium to compete on three apparatus; vault , beam and floor. Hugo did two floors, since he is a boy he does not do beam.  We all had to compete against many schools and try to earn ribbons. Gold is the best you can get and is excellent, red is the second best and is very good, blue is good and green is merit. Amie and Ella also competed in trampolining and both got gold’s. Everybody had great fun just being there and we would like to thank all the parents that helped. We could not have done it without you. We would also like to thanks Mrs Stennard for organising it and Tristar for doing it.

Big Foot Cycling

Bigfoot Cycling

By Amelia Kelly

On the 12^th and 13^th of June, we were really lucky to have Bigfoot Adventures come to our school and do a cycling program with us. It was a really good opportunity for people to refresh their skills, and even learn from scratch. It was really fun, and taught us all some really important skills that we didn’t know. We were taught how dangerous it can be why’ll you’re riding on the road, how fragile your brain is and how important it is to always wear a helmet properly. Everyone learnt something new, and was left smiling.  

Pink Group Papyrus

In Pink group, we have been reading a book called Sandstorm. We did a presentation about hieroglyphics and papyrus paper. We drew hieroglyphics and Egyptian symbols.  We made the papyrus by boiling tea and dipping it in it when the tea cooled down. We left it overnight and drew our pictures, and then some of us painted it and some shaded it.

                                                    

 

 

 

Assembly part 2

We did some research on what life was like in Jesus time.  We put our information together and drew our own conclusions.  We presented these in a play at assembly.
