Bowls

We were extremely fortunate to have Emily from Canterbury Bowls come to our school, and run two lessons per class on the basic fundamentals of how to play bowls.

Then we walked down to the Kaiapoi Workingmen's Club and used their Bowling green to have a go at the real thing!

It was a great experience learning a new sport and we realised there was quite a technique behind it.

Waipara Camp - Room 21, 22, 23

During Week 5, we had a superb time on camp at Waipara.  There were lots of students who pushed themselves out of their comfort zone and showed a lot of 'bravery' during a number of activities.

We were extremely fortunate that we had an amazing bunch of parents who supported us.  We are very grateful to Mr Hendo who stayed on for the entire week to support Mrs Gilmore and Miss Hurley.

Just like Room 18, 19, 20, we were fortunate to take part in a number of activities across the three days, starting with a long river walk and then some free time on the first day.  We then had a Quiz and a Wearable Arts competition.
On Tuesday we had a full day of rotations which included Water Slide/Flying Fox, Giant Swing, Flying Kiwi, Raft Building, Kayaking, Confidence Course and Tree Climbing and then we did the Blind Trail at night.
On Wednesday, we continued with the rotations and ended with a yummy lunch.  It was a fabulous time had by all.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

Camp - Rm 18-20

Room 18,19, 20 had such a great time on camp last week. We headed up on Monday morning and began with a river walk. This was followed by some team building games, orientation and a scavenger hunt around camp. Tuesday we began our rotations. The rotations involved Flying Kiwi, Giant Swing, Raft building, Kayaking, Water Slide, Tree Climbing, Confidence Course and Water Hole swimming. After a full day of rotations we had a quiz night followed by the blind trail in the dark through the trees.
Wednesday morning we finished our activity rotations, tidied up and headed back to school.
It was such a great experience at camp, trying new things and building new friendships.
The teachers were so impressed with the way we held ourselves and showed our school values. Thank you to all the parents who supported our camp and enabled it to happen.
