Reading Reading Reading

Each group has now finished their second novel for the term, though lots of people have read lots more books in their own time.  We had to push ourselves to get a lot of reading done in the last couple of weeks, but we did it.  Our final discussions and debates focused on the following questions:

• who was your favourite character and why?
• name a part of the story where you were like, "Whoa!"
• if there was another chapter, what might happen next?

We also shared our opinions and ratings for each book.

Wheels Day & Sausage Sizzle

Well done to the Y8 students from Rimu who organised a great day today.  We had loads of fun zooming around the school, and racing our mates.  The sausage sizzle at lunchtime was pretty good too!

EPro 8

Well done to those students who competed in the Feilding EPro 8 Challenge!  Teams have to solve problems by building structures and using electronics.  You need to be pretty good at creative thinking too!

Interschool Athletics

We had a number of students from our class competing in the Feilding Interschool Athletics Champs today.  There were some very impressive individual performances, and quite a few people achieved personal bests.  Well done!

Athletics Sports

What an awesome day we had at our athletics sports this year!  We LOVED all the crazy activities, and had loads of fun and loads of laughs!  We put our game faces on for the sprints and blasted down the track as fast as we could!  We supported those who had made the final of the 400m, performed our house chants in the only way we know how - loud and proud - and represented our houses well during the relays.  What a full-on couple of hours!  Congratulations to our champions for 2019:
Girls 400m - Ruby
Boys 400m - Caleb
Girls Athletics Champ - Rebekah
Boys Athletics Champ - Caleb
Junior House Relay - Matai
Senior House Relay - Kauri

Good luck to those who are competing at the Feilding Interschool Athletics on Monday.
