Athletics Day

Well, today we had an awesome day of athletics and fun! Luckily the weather held out for us and we managed to have a whole day with no rain.  We spent the morning in our year groups rotating around different activities like long jump, high jump, discus, shot put, and running.  Then after morning tea, we all came back for some AWA relay races.  These were heaps of fun and we all cheered on our team mates from the side line.  Well done to everyone who took part and scored points for your AWA.  It was a fantastic day!

Nga Manu

Yesterday (27 November), Room 14 and 13 went to Nga Manu in Waikanae.  We hopped on the bus first thing in the morning and headed on down.  While we were at Nga Manu, we were able to touch a real tuatara, feed the massive eels, and also see 2 live kiwis.  The rangers at Nga Manu told us that we knew so much about kiwi’s and tuatara’s, which made us feel pretty smart!  After a picnic lunch and a good wander around the park, we jumped back on the bus and headed back to school. We had such a fantastic day.
