Winter Sports

We have been practicing rugby, soccer and netball in preparation for the Lower Waipa Winter Sport Tournament. Lots of mud, lots of fun, and lots of improvement. Well done guys. You are giving it your all and some of you have shown real improvement in skills, strategies and playing as a team.

The challenge of leading

We joined with Paterangi school for an awesome leadership development day with project energize. We were challenged and learnt about the skills and attitudes that make for awesome leaders - patience, perseverance, the ability to step back and listen, allowing others to lead, involving all and many more. Leading is not easy and is a skill to learn - are we up for the challenge? You bet! It will just mean taking on opportunities to get more experience, thinking carefully about the way we lead and watching great leaders model good leadership. Room 7 you all have the potential to be great leaders. I am looking forward to seeing you rise to the challenge.

Kindy reading

 
Room 7 went to our local kindy and spent some time reading with the children. We thoroughly enjoyed it and had to think about how we can make the children feel comfortable with us big kids and interact with them on a level that they understand.
