Yesterday the three junior classes joined in a netball session with Whaea Ronda. We all had fun and learned lots of new skills such as passing and catching the ball, team work, defending an area and listening carefully.

Olympics Dress-up Day

Friday 6 August 2021

Today was our Olympics dress-up day at school.

We had a very special visitor who came and talked to us about winning a gold medal at the 1976 Olympic Games held in Montreal, Canada. Trevor Manning was the hockey goal keeper for New Zealand. Trevor saved an important goal and in so doing it he smashed his knee cap. We think Trevor was very brave. We loved listening to him!

We loved listening to him!

The real, gold Olympic Medal was impressive.

We also learned that Trevor is Michele's (Teacher's Aide in Te Pihi) great uncle. That is cool!
