Interschool Speech Competition

Congratulations to Cameron and Briar who represented our school VERY well at the Interschool Speech Competition.  As usual, the competition was red-hot, and the standard very high.  A special congratulations to Briar, who won the Y7 competition!  

Helicopter Ride

We had a special visit from the Palmerston North Rescue Helicopter this morning - in fact, Tommy and Holly were given a ride to school!  This was part of the prize they won earlier in the year, at the Manawatu Turbos launch event.  How cool is that?  Thank you to the Manawatu Turbos for organising this prize, and to the crew of the helicopter for giving Tommy and Holly a ride!

Shakeout Drill 2018

We had an earthquake drill this morning, as part of a nation-wide 'shakeout'.  This means that thousands of people all around our country were dropping, covering and holding at the same time!  We know exactly what to do in an earthquake - let's hope we remember what to do when it really counts.

Pet Day Highlights

Pet Day 2018

We are all looking forward to Pet Day, which is being held on Thursday 18 October - that's the first week back at school after the holidays!  We are excited to show off our super cool indoor exhibits.  We made our 'Pookie Faces' with Mrs Simpson in Tech. Check it out:

Pookie Faces

Kapa Haka

Our Kapa Haka group were awesome in assembly today!  

The Senior Social

We had a blast at our Senior Social last night!  We all looked pretty 'swag', and had loads of fun movin' and groovin' to all our favourite social songs.  The supper was awesome too!

The Great Potato Project

We have once again joined forces with Room 1 to participate in the Great Potato Project of 2018!  Working in teams of three, we had to plant our seed potatoes and say some magic words to help the potato grow well.  It will be interesting to see who can grow the biggest/heaviest potato this year!  We are looking forward to a big feast at the end of the year!  

Interhouse Quiz

Today we held the annual Interhouse Quiz!  The students in Rooms 4, 5 and 6 were divided up into teams and had to work together to answer 70 questions.  Topics included geography, general knowledge, history, famous places and faces, music, movies and books.  The results were amazingly close!

1st:  Totara
2nd:  Kauri
3rd:  Matai
4th:  Rimu

Congratulations to Kauri 5 - the winners!  Well done Holly, Hayden, Sophie, Isabella and Rielli.

Fun Times

We did some cool activities with our reliever, Mrs Skelton yesterday!

Firstly, we made 'Love Letters' to send to the children at Starship Hospital.  The letters are used to spell out a patient's name.  We hope the kids like our work!

In maths, we had a geometry/construction challenge, where we had to make the tallest tower using spaghetti and marshmallows.  Congratulations to Ruby, Abbie and Lucy, who won the challenge with a tower measuring 55cm tall!

Turbo Time

Our class turned into a full-on Green Machine today, at the Manawatu vs Wellington rugby match!  After winning a 'Game Day Experience' thanks to Norwood Farm Machinery, we were treated to a BBQ, (cooked by Turbos players), a tour of the training facilities the Turbos use, and tickets to the game.  Unfortunately the Turbos were well beaten.  We all had loads of fun though!
