Cross Country and Nimthara



Cross Country
On Tuesday of last week we had our school cross country. Year 3 and up went to the Botanical Gardens. Seven students from our class got through to the Central Zone which happened on Tuesday of this week. The students from our class who went were Olive, Olivia, Nimthara, Melanie, Daniel, Olly and Matt. Olly did especially well and got into the Interzone. And Matt received a special mention for good sportsman ship because he helped a boy who had asthma.

Mathletics
As you might remember, we did Mathletics earlier on in the year. As our class got in the top 200 classes in New Zealand, we now get to go on Mathletics for the rest of the year for free. We do this as part of our daily mathematics, with each group getting at least one go on the laptops each week.
One student from our class got 58th in the country! She is Sam Panganiban! Congratulation Sam!

Nimthara
We have a new student in our class, Nimthara. She has moved from Sri Lanka. Nimthara is a Year 5 students and has just turned nine. On her first day at school she won the Year 5 Girls cross country race.

Whale Inquiry
We have finished researching and now we are writing our reports that will go into a book for the junior classes on New Zealand’s changed approach to whales and whaling.

P.E.
Our focus for the first half of this term is catching and throwing. We have been practicing with tennis balls, basket balls and netballs. Next week we get to practice with rugby balls.
