Sports Afternoon

Yesterday afternoon we had a Whanau sports competition while our teachers were at an art workshop.

Mrs Habgood put us into Whanau groups.  We had to look after and help each other through the races.

 

 

We had to race with a lemon or an onion on a spoon.  Have you ever tried to do that?  It's really hard!

 

Our Whanau leaders were allowed to run with us and encourage us to keep going.

 

The 3 legged race was lots of fun. Some of us were laughing too much to run!

 

 Tunnelball was great fun too.  There was so much noise and excitement.  We could be heard down the main street of Culverden!

 

 

We had lots of fun and made lots of noise!

 

Thanks to Drin, Laura and Miss Topp for helping out!

Hurunui Arts Council Prizegiving

Mrs Habgood and four children went to the Hurunui Arts Council Prizegiving on Saturday.

 

Room 2 won the 5-7 year age group category with our 'Keeping Out the Cold' class entry.

 

 Millie-Jane, Seba,  Ronan and Molly collected our prize which was a fantastic game called Hooop!

 

This morning the rest of the class got to see our prize.  We were all very excited!

 

 

Thank you to the Hurunui Arts Council and to Mrs B who helped us with our creation.

Kate Valley Trip

 Last week Room 2 visited Kate Valley Landfill with Room 1 and 6. 

 

 

We saw Kate Valley landfill where all our waste goes.

 

 

We learned how the landfill is made to look like hills once the cell has been filled with waste.

 

 

The boys really loved the big trucks!

We all really enjoyed the bus trip!

Who is that rather large student in the back seat???

After our visit we went to Waipara School for lunch and a talk.  They had a very cool playground to play on there.

 

We had a great trip to Kate Valley.  We learned to reduce, reuse and recycle to stop Kate Valley getting so full of waste. 

 

 Thanks to the parents who came with us and for driving our bus Mr Wilkinson!
