Big Disappointment

We had a big disappointment today when the Football tournament was postponed because of the bad weather. But we had a new visitor called Emma. She is Mrs Jackson's daughter. We have filled the day up with the usual exciting learning - writing, reading and maths. 

This afternoon we have a new student teacher coming to teach us PE. We are looking forward to meeting her and having fun.

Hockey Tournament

On Thursday, the 11^th of July Harvey, Wiremu, Callum, Rowan, Aaron, Nathan, Stevie and Holly went to the Hockey Tournament in Milton at Milton Primary School’s field. Their team name was the Waihola Terminators. The team worked together, and won the tournament. They played against a team from Waitahuna in the finals, and bet them, 6-2 points! It was an exhilarating day which had everybody puffing by the time they got back to school.                          By Holly                12.7.13

Well done PALs "Team USA"

Thanks so much PALs for making the winter extravaganza such an enjoyable day.  You deserved your prizes for best outfits.  You all made a big effort and looked fantastic.  It was great to see your skills grow in all sports.  Miniball looked fast and furious.  Rugby league touch was awesome to watch, with every single one of you giving it your best.  I will download some photos when I have the camera's cord with me!

Soccer tournament

Soccer Tournament: Wednesday 17th April 2013 (postponement date Thursday 18^th April) 

Balclutha A & P Grounds   9:45am arrival for10am games.  Finish 2.30pm

When playing children will wear the school PE T shirt and their own shorts (navy or black if possible).  They will also be issued with a tracksuit to wear.  They can wear this to school on the day.  Please bring sports uniform back to school on Thursday without washing.  Shin pads and soccer boots are recommended, but if you don’t have them sport shoes will be fine. 

A drink and a big lunch are important.  A sun hat and or a warm hat are a good idea too.   There may be a canteen but this has not been confirmed yet.  If your child is a bus student and you want them picked up or dropped off at home, you need to let me know so I can pass on the information to the parent transporting your child.
