speeches, cantamaths, basketball & calendar art

It's been a busy, bitsy week this week. Students have been working tirelessly on their speeches in addition to participating in the Cantamath competition in Christchurch, preparing for the basketball finals and exploring some options for calendar art. 

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate all our basket ballers. I'm proud of their commitment to such a long season and especially the sportsmanship they demonstrated throughout the season. A HUGE thanks must be given to our awesome coaches and managers. Robbie, Rose and Chris - you have been awesome. Terri, Penny and Karen you're regular texts I'm sure will be missed!

Well done to both our Cantamath teams too. It sounds as though you competed really well and had a memorable time overnight in Christchurch. Thanks to Sharon and Jen for tolerating supervising our boys for the two days.

Debate #5 - Superman will always defeat Batman

Took a break from the 'heavy' topics this week for a fierce debate on the two most famous superheroes. 

Looking forward to next week's: 

'The First Moon Landing was a Hoax'!

Sorry about the 'Cam' quality - my iMovie has not been playing nicely...

new running leader

Calder takes the yellow scarf today with a storm'n run! He's in hot form going into tomorrow's weekly timed run. Best of luck tomorrow Calder!

Daily 2.6km Run

On Mon, Tues, Weds & Thurs, for the entire year, our class has been running 2.6km down to 4 Jays (shop) and back on the Cycle Trail. Once a week we time ourselves and graph our times and it's incredible to see how far our fitness has come this year! This week we decided to take inspiration from the Tour De France and give our current leader (the person who finishes first on any given day), a yellow scarf. Congratulations to our current leader, Bailey....but watch out, Mr S-W is hot on your heels!
