Olympics- Silver for Women's Rugby

Today we were lucky enough to be able to watch the Women's 7's rugby final in our hub. The kids were allowed to watch, or carry on with their learning tasks.

It was a very quick and exciting game, with lots of intensity shown by both teams. Unfortunately, we lost the match, but luckily it meant we still won a silver medal! And we got to see it live at school.

So lucky!

You can see from the pictures below that it was a pretty exciting match with some good and not so good parts.

It was a close match!

It was a nail biter!

Benji and Finley looked after each other,

There were some exciting moments!

Olympic Immersion

We have just begun our Olympic project based learning. For the first week, in our learning buddy groups, we completed nine immersion activities to build our knowledge of nine different aspects of the Olympics. We learnt a lot about the Olympics and we exercised our collaboration learning muscles working together. Following this, we got our own research time before choosing our own Olympic-based topic.

Our super sporty students!

Lately the teachers have been lucky enough to go to watch some of the students in our hub play some sports.

These pictures are of some of our soccer superstars. They were taken at a Queens Birthday tournament in Napier over the weekend.

These pictures are of some of our youngest netballers. They had a tough game, but we saw some excellent defending and some great passing from the girls on Tuesday night.

The girls in this photo are Jordan B, Rain, Taylah M, Jessica and Alize. We loved coming to watch you play. Great job!
