Rimu Team 5 & 6 - Term 3 week 10 ending 28 September 2018

End of Term

What a cracker of a term!  We have done so much: Kids Marathon, Ponsonby Roadshow, Inner City Rugby, Learning Conferences, Inner City Soccer, National Skiing Championship, Art Exhibition, School Disco, Tongan Language Week, Maori Language Week, Schoolwide Maori Rotation, Speech Competition, Champs of Champs Rugby, Book Week, Skip-a-thon...just to name a few of the things we have done in the last 10 weeks...crazy right!

Maori Rotation!

As part of Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori (Maori Language Week) Bayfield students took part in a school-wide Maori rotation.  Over two afternoons students were involved in several different maori activities such as, poi, te rakau, dance, art, cooking and whare building.  It was an amazing learning experiences for all our tamariki and kaiako.

Skip-a-thon - House Day

What an amazing day we had last Friday.  Students have been training so hard on their skipping and the hard word really paid off during our Skip-a-thon House Day.  Students participated in a range of skipping related challenges and had loads of fun doing it.  Just a reminder that any skip-a-thon money needs to go to the office by the last day of term.
Below is a video of some of the skipping highlights this term...

Speeches

Students competed in our first annual Rehu Tai competition this week and what a high calibre of performance we got.  Students in the rap, spoken word, flash talk and prepared speech categories were outstanding.  Congratulations to our winners below.
