Rippa Rugby Fun on the Field

On Wednesday we had lots of fun on our Rippa Rugby learning journey with Christina from Kelly Sports.

Our ball skills are improving and we are getting better at staying inside the cone lines.

Bring on the Junior School Rippa Rugby Tournament next week.

If only we were playing Rippa Octopus - We wonder if Miss Breen could put a game or two in the draw for us?

Kiwi Can Fun with Room 10

This week we invited Room 10 to join us in our Kiwi Can lesson.

We did the most awesome and very loud warm up.

Ms Tataurangi and Miss Lendrum should remember to bring earplugs next time.

Matina, Joseph and Eddie helped us to remember about physical and verbal bullying.

We shouted out "No Bullying in our School".

We played Statues. There were so many of us that we didn't have time to find a winner.

Here are our Totally Awesome Kiwi Can Kids from both Room 10 and Room 8.

Assembly

On Monday, September 19th we lead the Whole School Assembly.

We were very nervous about talking in front of all the students and teachers.

We were so nervous that only Bailee and Mark could introduce the items and who was speaking next. Congratulations to you two SuperStars.

Next time we will have much more confidence to be able to get up and speak in front of so many people.

Whole School Toothbrushing

On September 9th, as part of our Oral Health & Hygiene Week, we all stayed on the courts after our Black Out Day photo and brushed our teeth. Cynthia, our dental therapist, lead us in brushing our teeth all together. What a wonderful sight it was - as you can see by the photos and the video!

Rugby World Cup

We have been so busy, Ms Tataurangi has only just got round to posting about our Rugby World Cup.

We have adopted Wales

and Canada

as well as the Mighty All Blacks.

This week we have been looking at the flags

from our adopted countries.

Come and have a look at our windows.

We have made a display of the flags and jerseys from the 20 RWC teams.

We did it...

Today when Ms Tataurangi logged into our blog,

guess what she saw?

YES, YES, YES - this means we are going to have a very special celebration and invite all the students who have been in Room 8 this year to come and share achieving 500+ visitors so quickly.

They were yummy!


Making Scones on PhotoPeach

Here's the recipe for our yummy scones:
4 cups of self raising flour
1 300ml bottle of cream
1 can of Sprite
1 teaspoon of salt

Turn the oven on to 220C.
Mix all the ingredients together in a big bowl and make into one big shape on the oven tray.
Use a spatula to 'cut' the scone shapes.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
Allow to cool before eating. 
Best eaten with homemade butter and jam.
