Grasshopper Tennis

Everyone in Room 18 is back into the swing of things for Term 4. It's warming up and we are enjoying being able to use the school pool again. We have also had a great time this year with Grasshopper Tennis; we have learnt a lot of new skills and also had heaps of fun. Here are some pictures of us in action.


 

Chopper Challenge!

This term we have been lucky enough to have the team from Auckland Westpac Rescue Helicopters in at school as part of the fundraising effort to support this wonderful cause. Some of our students have signed up and are trying their best to achieve their goals and raise money to support rescue helicopters. Everyone gets to take part in the Chopper Challenge though, and as you can imagine some of the tasks really are challenging! Room 18 post your comments about the things you enjoy and find challenging.

Chopper Challenge -

We are the champions!

Will the All Black win against France be one of those events that you will remember exactly where you were and what you were doing in years to come?  Did you celebrate this Rugby World Cup in a memorable way?  Did you have a World Cup experience during any of the tournament?

WELCOME BACK TO TERM 4

This term will be a very busy term, filled with many other events that may be memorable to you.  Some will centre around sport, while others will be more academic.  For the Year 6 students, Poroporaki is going to be one of those occasions.

Write a blog comment about either an event you are looking forward to this term, or perhaps about a memorable moment for you about the Rugby World Cup. 

Always be ready to shout "Go the Mighty All Blacks!"

Rugby World Cup 2011

In Room 18 we have been very excited due to the amazing celebrations happening during the Rugby World Cup. We have had flags hanging in our room, and have been supporting not only the All Blacks but other teams from around the world that are competing.

Athletics Day 2010

The Auckland weather treated us well and the Whetu and Hiringa syndicate enjoyed a day in the sun with our annual Athletics day.

There were some fantastic athletes amongst the group, but also most importantly everyone enjoyed themselves.

Check out these great pictures.
