" I am going to act my age by being more responsible and take big steps to improve my learning at school and at home," Macarius told Mrs Reddy.

DAY 6 - SWIMMING IN PYJAMAS.

Swimming was different today because it was about water safety. We swam in our PJs to feel how difficult it can be in water with lots of clothes on.
Take off your clothes to feel lighter in water.
It was a fun experience but we learned to always wear a life jacket.

SWIMMMING - LOG Monday 23 March - Friday 27 March

DAY ONE
At 2pm we left school for Pioneer Stadium to learn to swim. We got changed in a different room upstairs and went to the big pool to show our tutors how far we could swim. Most of us went back to the small pool to learn free style using our arms.
Our goal tomorrow is to listen to improve our arm strokes and kicking.

OUR SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY - 2015

THIS MORNING WE WENT TO WOOLSTON PARK FOR THE CROSS COUNTRY.

WHEN WE GOT THERE MR MCINNES TOLD US WHAT TO DO.

THEN THE YEAR SEVEN AND EIGHTS RACED EACH OTHER - IT WAS EXCITING!

THEY HAD TO DO FOUR LAPS BUT THE YEAR FIVE AND SIX ONLY DID THREE LAPS.

I WAS SO HAPPY THAT I CAME 1^ST IN THE YEAR 5 GIRLS.

FOR ME THE CROSS COUNTRY WAS AWESOME.

BEING HEART SMART

The students were involved in a Nutrition study for the  first half of today .It was taken by Chloe from the Heart Foundation who gave the students valuable information on healthy eating and exercise. Now that the students are very well informed ,I sincerely hope that they will make healthy choices - it is up to them and I am sure parents will support them.
The students will be telling you more about this.

I would also like to thank Greg ,the manager of New World Super-Market In Woolston for giving the students an opportunity to browse and carry out practical activities reading food labels in his store.
It was a great experience.
Every one of the students loved the free lunch box, apple and nectarine-thanks for your generosity.
