    SPORTS DAY

    12 April 2016
    Green Day:
    On Green Day we had a coin trail in the shape of an ambulance and put all our money on it. We all dressed up in green
    and had prizes for the greenest kid in each classroom. The winners were: Kakapo Leilani, Weka Rico, Kereru Ardell,
    Tui Jahshanna, Pukeko Siahn, Takahe Matt. St Johns and I would like to thank you so much for your donations on
    Wednesday. We raised $232.90.

    On Thursday it was athletics day. The year 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 students went to Waverley Park School and Year 1, 2 and 3 students went to Salford. We
    were grouped by our ages there were heaps of groups. 8 year old girls were at high jump first. I felt really nervous and then came the running. After
    my race I felt sweaty and puffed. Our second last event was long jump where I felt annoyed because the sand got in my shoes! Lastly we went to
    shotput, that was my favourite one. Aurora
    On Thursday I went to Sports Day. We did high jump first where I landed the middle one. In the running race I made the finals it was hard! I was
    against Ashlea and she was hard to beat. I felt excited about the day. I was happy after I got into the finals of lots of events.

    Pukeko Science/ Technology Inquiry


    Last week Pukeko tested out our
    submarine down at the jetty!
    We made it so we could see under
    the water to tell kids where it is safe
    to jump and the dangers to look out
    for. We had to put sand in to it to
    make it sink, we made it out of
    plastic bottles so it didnt break up in
    the water and we used lots of tape
    heaps of tape! We did lots of
    experimenting with types of tape
    that would stay on our submarine.
    We tried putting a camera in it but it
    didnt work but we tested how deep
    the water was. We had 3 lights on
    the submarine that allowed us to see
    under the water and see how deep
    it was and what was in there.

    Duffy Role Model Assembly:


    At our Duffy assembly last week we had illustrator Scott Tulloch who talked
    to us about how he became an illustrator. He showed us his new book I am
    not a worm which is about a caterpillar who is called a worm by an iguana.
    The cater pillar becomes a butterfly and the iguana returns and winds him
    up calling him a caterpillar this time. They fight and the iguana eats the
    butterfly!! It sounds awful but it is hilarious and he read it with a funny
    voice.

    He also drew a portrait of Tupou looking lovely!

    Paralympian portraits viewing


    We were fortunate enough to be invited to take a wee bunch of kids along to the viewing of
    the Spirit of Gold portraits featuring 12 of NZs most high profile para-athletes. We had an
    interesting few hours at Lands End hearing about the training programmes, hearing the
    story of one of the athletes, viewing the amazing portraits and being fed! Thanks for the
    invite Sanfords! Sanfords are sponsoring the para-athletes and also sponsor KiwiCan at
    school which is amazing.
