Wacky Wheels Day

Last Friday the seniors organized Wheels day for us to bring in our wheeled toys.
It was quite crowded on the court and they made us go in one direction in order to reduce injuries and crashes.
I can see why bikes would have been a problem.
Thanks to the seniors for their taking their lunch time to do this for us.

Our awesome boys relay team at Inter-school Swimming

This is Wouter who did a great job in swimming.
He got third in his heat and helped the relay team out.
The fourth member of the relay was sick and luckily Wouter was brave enough to join in, so the team could take part.
Well done boys.
We had other good results too which we will share on the next posting.

This is Tyler's placemat.

In Kotuku class we are making placemats for our desks.

Mine will be finished in a week.

You should come and see them they are awesome.

They are two sided with goals and stuff like that on one side and our free choice on the other.

Tennis time

This is Zara with the newly painted tennis poles. We have spray painted them because while we were playing tennis we had a injury,Tegan tripped over one of the poles and sprained her ankle.Also last week Wouter,Marcus,Fraser and Zara all had an injury. But now the poles will stand out a lot better.

We have all enjoyed learning tennis we hope no one else gets another injury.

We have been innovative in trying to solve this problem.

in the holidays to see mr Searle. Does he look like a
good guard dog?

Terrific Tennis Tuition

This is NOT us playing tennis. It is our talented teachers having a lesson, so they know what to teach us.

They learned some fun games to play with us once we have improved our skills.

We learned how to bounce the ball on the tennis racquet and hit it to and from each other.

Alex thought Tennis was, 'really cool.'

I'm looking forward to next week when The seniors are going to loan out the tennis gear at lunchtime and break.

Our visiting Student Teacher Miss Garnett

Hello Kotuku class,I'm Marcus and I am here to talk about Miss Garnett and a new student in our school. First I will talk about a new student called Liam in Kereru class and he is a really good playing with beyblades. Beyblades are toys that are really cool and I like those toys and I this is how it works . you put a string in a thing called a ripper  and then you stick a beyblade under the riper and you pull the string and then the beyblade will fall of and spin on the ground. That will be enough for Liam lets talk about Miss Garnett. Miss Garnett was going to Christchurch to teach there but she came to Nelson because of the earthquake. She  came and taught at Saint Paul's only for a week and Kotuku class will miss you.
Good bye Miss Garnett.  By Marcus

Basket ball practice

This is me trying to dribble with two balls.

Mike Fitchett from the Nelson GIANTS came to teach us some skills. My favourite drill was shooting.

Our homework this week is to practice and show our parents these tricks;

Eggbeater, Figure 8, Long drop and the terrible nut-cracker.

Jamie was very good at passing and shooting into the air. By Marcus and Tyler
