What a week it was!
First of all I want to say a big thank you to everyone that came in for our 'Meet the Teacher' evenings. It was an absolute pleasure meeting you all! I know that this year is going to be a great year.
At the end of week two we had our senior school Swimming Sports which went off with a bang. We have incredibly impressive swimmers in our class and every single one of you impressed me with not only your swimming but with your supportive encouragement on the side of the pool. It showed how well all of you can get along and look after one another.
It was a great day and we even have some of our swimmers going off to the Motueka Swimming sports on Monday which will be great fun! I thoroughly enjoyed helping yellow house complete a well earned victory in the teacher race! We did NOT cheat! :D
This week at school we have had a few more interruptions to our weekly schedule, but this also gave the students opportunities to try some new games and sports in the afternoon blocks. On Tuesday we had Top Team, where we all got to go out and try some new sports. I am looking forward to Tyler and Izaak's blog posts on these later in the week. We also were able to have some Year 8 lead sports on the Thursday afternoon which was a wonderful time to see the leaders of the school step up and show how responsible they can be. I cannot wait to see you all doing things like that!
This week we have the Tryathlon on Friday which will be a wonderful whole school sporting event. Please make sure you bring your togs/towel, bike and running gear for this event. Also remember to smother yourselves in sunblock and bring plenty of food and water! It will be a long day!
We will be slowly getting a normal routine this week of classroom activities so be prepared to wear your learning caps all week long!
I cannot wait to read all of your ideas in your homework tomorrow. Keep up the amazing work team!!
