Born to Sing

We are entertaining at Assembly. We are singing some of the Christmas carols that we are going to sing at a retirement home later this month. Born to Sing is a fun choir that meets at lunchtimes and anyone who loves to sing is allowed to join.

LEARNING ABOUT FLIGHT

During Term 2 the Middle School has been learning about how things fly. At the beginning of the term we had a visit from an expert. We saw many model planes and went down to the bottom field to watch one fly.

BOOKWEEK
To start our Bookweek we had a visit from the Storylines drama group. This year's presentation was called "Jungle Bungle." Four of the finalists from the NZ Post book awards were featured in this show.

Wednesday March 10 was a brilliantly fine day for the trip to Rangitoto Island. As part of the "We Belong Here" topic students are looking at their local environment.

Middle School students enjoyed our chess lesson last Friday. We learned the names of the chess pieces and the way that each chess piece can move. We had fun having a game with a partner.

The Middle School held its swimming sports today. There were races for everyone: freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke lengths of the pool (20m,) kickboard widths, underwater races and running races. The interclass relay was a highlight.

Welcome Back after a lovely summer break.
