Winter Olympics 2014

Last week Mr Spicer and I had the pleasure of taking 34 students to Totara Springs Camp for our annual Winter Olympics week.
I was proud to be in charge of this year's team and we worked hard to get overall runners up - lots of first and seconds places in over ten sports.
The whole team should be proud of the way that they represented the school - supported each other and were team players.
WELL DONE STANLEY AVE!

Cross Country

A few pics from Cross Country day - Well done to all those that competed and great to see the house competition in action. :)  The beginning of a busy cross country season - district , Thames Valley and Waikato Full.

 

HP Rural Competition

Well done to our school leaders who produced videos in the HP Rural Schools competition.  We didn't win but they sent us an HP action camera for the quality of their video.
Thanks HP and the school leaders can't wait to get this up and running.

Yay! More experts from our community

Big thanks to Kelvin Forsman who was in Room 1 recently to tell us about the flood of 1985 and his experiences.  We also discussed the impact of tourists on Te Aroha.
Thanks heaps.

Inquiry Questions

Last week as part of our home learning we had to ask five people some quick questions about Te Aroha.  The questions were: why did you move here?  What are some positives?  What are some negatives?  The photos below are all the responses we got and later this week we will collate all the information and share our findings.

Check out our new class photos!

Thanks to Leah's idea,

we created these fabulous photos of our class :)
