Swimming!

Term 1 swimming has come to an end. Here's what we look like in the water...even when Whaea Ata say's "I want to see your best swimming style." but some of us thought "nah, I just wanna win against the person next to me."

Kia maumahara tatou ki a ratou... We will remember them...

For the last week of term 1. We learnt a lot of new things about ANZAC Day - some facts, what poppies symbolise and the dates when this event took place. We also had the chance to bake some ANZAC biscuits...that actually turned into slices. BUT they still tasted really yum!

TWA hit the stage for Fiafia Night

An awesome night which celebrated the many cultures at our school at to also raise money for the year 8 trip to Rotorua towards the end of the year.

Can't wait for Kapa Haka nationals to kick off! Watch this space.

Nau mai, haere mai Robert Louis Stevenson school

The school put on a very special pōwhiri for 'Robert Louis Stevenson' School. We were very lucky to get the opportunity to do this an to share with them our culture through the powhiri and our performance. A very awesome day and one that will be remembered by all.

Performance #1 for 2016

About half of our class had the opportunity to perform to over 200 people at the children's launch today. We welcomed a lot of guest speakers one including Anne Tolley. It was an awesome opportunity to help us prep for regionals at the end of this year.

Karanga mai Polyfest!

8 lucky ladies who had shown a huge amount of commitment to their learning were selected to go along to Polyfest this year. Here are a 2 snaps from our day - the first one being in our taxi, which had very cool disco lights and the second being near the Māori stage. Awesome work Kōhine mā!

It's the end of an era... :(

We bid farewell to Jordan our awesome and very enthusiastic tennis coach who taught us a lot these past couple of weeks.

Thank you Jordan. Thank you also Mr Dawson for organising our weekly lessons. We throughly enjoyed learning something new every week and watching our tennis balls fly all the way to the whare kai and car park.

Room 20 Kōhine!
