Calendar art

Yesterday, Room five did calender art. This year we did geometric orders made of of coloured shapes.We could put the shapes in a pattern to make a castle. We did our calendar art with Mr. Betman, and he showed us a famous artist in a book so we knew what we were going to do. We could put anything anywhere, but not muddled up and no cars or people.

Rugby stickers

The ITM cup is on and when the kids go to a game, try and get stickers and bring them back to school and place them on the board in the office, because at the end the school with the most stickers will get $10,000. So next time you go to a game, try and get the stickers so we can get $10,000 for our school.

Rugby league

Some of the seniors are doing rugby league this term.The tournament is at tahuna sports grounds on the 20th of september 2015.They have been practicing every wednesday. Rugby league is like tackle rugby except when you get tackled you need to roll on to your front and stand up. Then you play the ball (Roll it under your legs) and the dummy-half will pass it out to the wing or take a run, but remember the dummy can't score a try.

Yesterday was the rugby 7's tournament  and all the teams did a excellent job.

Especially well done to the Skuksanators coming 3rd and making it to the finals . The Rhinos did a really good job with lots of teamwork but the teams they versed were too good but they still played well.The ninjas did really well with Deegan out running the whole of stoke and with Ethan when he had 4 people all on his legs and made it halfway across the field till doing an awesome pass.   

Everyone was proud  of all the teams.

Tree Planting

On Tuesday room 5 went tree planting. The tree's that we planting were flax and two others. We walked there from school and there were three men that helped us. Those men were: Teinas dad Matt and the other two were from Nelmac, Paul and Adam. We got to choose our plants and when we were done digging, we used carpet to put around the plant to keep it moist. We had a lot of fun.

Tiger Turf

This week we have workers putting down tiger turf on the middle court. Right now it is blue  and it has yellow lines going around it. And the court has tape around it so children can not get in and wreck it. Some kids' balls have gone on the tiger turf when the workers are not there so they have to get a teacher to get the balls out. When the tiger turf is all over the court and finished we will be able to: Play on it at lunch, Do jump jam, Play on it safely, Play hockey, Eat on it, Pay less money fixing the concrete when it is cracked, etc.
