Response to Our Exhibition

Thanks to all who came along to our exhibition last Tuesday night. Here are some photos of the evening...



This was a nice way of showcasing some of the projects our Te Harakeke team have been working on across curriculum areas, for our community to have some fun learning about our coding club and for our Te Rito team to share their Matariki art gallery. The survey responses and feedback we received were very positive, so will certainly look to have more events of this kind in the future.

Korban from Room 14 wrote a brief summary:

Our mini exhibition next Tuesday

Parents and children all welcome!

School Cross Country

What a great time we had yesterday during our cross country.

All classes had been out training over the past two weeks and it was fantastic to have this event to look forward to on our calendar.

In Room 14 we had been collecting our training data and have been thinking about ways we could graph it to present visually and notice what it tells us.




A special thanks to Ms Baker and Mr Bates for organising the event and to all of the parents who came along to watch!

A small number of our children will soon be representing our school at the South-East Zones. We can't wait to see how they go.

Check out some of the pics from yesterday...

KiwiCan Party

Yesterday Room 14 had a special pizza and quiz event put on by Nicky and Sophie from KiwiCan. This was reward for our class earning to most points during the Wednesday and Thursday sessions they ran this term. The points were very close, so we were excited to come out on top.

Thanks to Nicky and Sophie. The quiz was so much fun! We can't wait until you come back next term.

Avonside Girls High School Sport - Year 4

Each Tuesday afternoon the Year 4s from Te Harakeke and some from Te Rito travel to Avonside Girls High School for coaching. This is a superbly run afternoon where a group of girls who are learning to coach and work with children teach some very lucky Bromley School Year 4s some new skills and games. The children are split into groups of 7 or 8 and have 3 or 4 Avonside Girls students take them for an hour long session each afternoon. The girls are very well planned and have a variety of different skills for the children to learn each week, plus some very fun games. The children have been having a great time each week and are looking forward to see what else they are going to learn this term.

School Triathlon

We had a fantastic time participating in our school triathlon yesterday.

Most of us competed in teams, with a different person doing the cycling, swimming and running legs, but there were a couple of courageous students who took on the challenge of doing all three parts on their own. All children managed themselves so well, especially at the changeover points, where they needed to transition to the next leg.

It was great to see so many parents coming down as spectators. Thanks to Ms Baker and the other teachers who were in charge of organising the event. The hard work our community put into building our bike track is really paying off. An awesome day on our calendar!
