You just never know what you are going to achieve until you try! 

Thank you to our families who support us by driving us to events, take time out of their day to help us raise funds, help us with our home learning and getting us to school early for practices! 

Hockey Small Sticks Wednesday

Cam from Auckland Hockey has been teaching and coaching us through hockey this term and we love it! It's a great team sport for girls and boys to play. Cam has supplied all our specially sized hockey sticks and balls so we can learn at our own level. 

As you can see we are enjoying the game so much it's hard for Mrs Trembath to take a still photo!

Olympic Finale for the Middle Syndicate

Lining up in our countries dressed in the colours of their flag! Our teams were made up of children from across the Syndicate. We made new friends today! Mrs Trembath was so proud of everyone and how they participated upholding the Olympic Values of Friendship, Excellence and Respect. 

It was a beautiful day and we had lots of games and sports to try around the playground and in the hall. We used hurdles, balloons, potatoes, horses, rockets, balls, frisbees which just goes to show you can make a game out of just about anything! 

I challenge you to make up some games at home and have a Family Olympics!!

A Dietician Mrs Robb visits to talk about sugar!!

Can you read the labels on the sides of the cereal boxes? How many grams of sugar does 100g of cereal have? Can you compare the amount to another box of cereal? Talk about this at home and look inside your cupboard to find out what you are eating. You only need 8- 10 teaspoons of sugar each day so think about that when you are eating your breakfast tomorrow!
