Week 10

Check out the children's Blogs from last week.  Our statistics learning included presenting information on spreadsheets.

The gymnasts also had a successful day out - photos to be shared soon.

The NYLD group have shared their thoughts on their day in Palmerston North.

Today (Sunday) we had the first camp fundraiser at school.  We supplied food and drinks to the athletes competing in the TriHB Duathlon.  

Unfortunately the last school orienteering event was cancelled/postponed today due to rising water levels in the Tuki Tuki River.  Part of all courses went through the normally dry overflow channel.


This week, Statistics will continue along with Matariki study and the children will have a choice of writing with a focus on adding more detail to their chosen genre.

Interschool netball takes place at HSP on Wednesday from 9.30am until 12.30.  Thanks you to those parents who have volunteered to assist me with the teams.

The HB Schools Cycling Championships take place this weekend.  Eleven year 5/6 students will be competing in the Intermediate grade in a 16km Team Time Trial and a 25km Road Race.  Room 6 girls won this event last year.  Good luck to all competitors!

We will also be practicing for the End of Term Production.  

Clothing that is required for the event is listed below. If you have extra items that can be shared, please let me know.

• 5 & 6 girls - Plain, bright t-shirts and gathered skirts, black shorts or tights underneath.
• 5 & 6 boys - Gardening clothes, bare feet.
