Rugby World Cup

RWC fever is here....

We have all been learning about the RWC participating countries. We have each adopted a country that we are writing a report on. And we are of course supporting that country until it meets NZ...




Check out our display board and go the ALL BLACKS!!!

Ski Trip

Week 6 brought SKI TRIP!!!

Not sure who was more excited - us or our teacher..

It was a beautiful day and their was heaps of snow to play in, fall over in and learn to ski or snowboard in.

Most of us started on the magic carpet to learn how to balance, stop and turn. Then we could join the better skiers and snowboarders at the intermediate slope. A few brave people (or those who skiied regularly) jumped on T1 and headed up the mountain for a bit more practice.

A great day was had so THANKS to all our parent helps who came with us and helped us!

The boys figuring out where they could buy goods and services in the gold rush.

Trying to find our gold (marbles)!


During Week 4 we were lucky enough to have a visit from two Turbo Touch coaches from Christchurch. They were at our school for the whole week and taught everyone from the Year 1's to the Year 8's. And our teachers...
