Parafed - Paralympic Athletes

Last Thursday we were visited by the organisers for the IPC Athletics World Champs and Parafed. The children enjoyed having relays in the wheelchairs and exploring how NZ's best athletes compete. (Even the teachers got a turn!)

Next year the world's elite Paralympic athletes will descend upon Christchurch in a bid to be crowned World Champion! Notices have gone home with the children. If you would like another notice, I do have spare. Go New Zealand.

Eco-Warriors Planting

Yesterday the Eco-Warriors had their planting project. They did a great job and the planter boxes can be seen out in our playground!

Jump Jam Extravaganza

The Room 9 'Crazy Frogs' did me proud in the show! They looked great and were confident. Well Done!

Jamp Jam Outside

Since the weather has been so beautiful we have been doing Jump Jam outside for fitness in the mornings.

Apologies

Dear Parents,
I apologise for my lack of posts over the past few weeks. Jump Jam and Reports temporarily took over my life! We have been so busy in Room 9 over the past few weeks and the last three weeks are bound to be just as busy. As the end of year approaches we have frantically searching for more time to pack in as much learning as possible!
I will post some photos of what we have been up to lately :-)
