$142 was raised by characters such as Captain Underpants, Super Silver Fern Girl, Pyjama Girls, Super Blue Bubble Man and Extreme Zombie. There were a few Cat Women, Batmen, Spidermen and even Wonder Woman.

These were videoed and are being put onto our YouTube channel and will also be linked to our personal blogs - it does take a while for each video to load so some may not get loaded until after Mrs Coyle returns from Singapore at the end of Week 11.
Ski trip has had to be cancelled as there is still no snow up at the Remarkables. We are disappointed about this and wish to thank Mrs Jo for all her time and effort to arrange (and unarrange) the trip. The Year Fives are hoping for better luck next year with the weather!
The big highlight this week was the class reward to the ILT Velodrome in Invercargill on Wednesday - we worked on basketball skills with Mark Dickel and Gareth Dawson from the Southland Sharks, and we learnt to ride racing bikes on the velodrome track, assisted by NZ cyclist Eddie Dawkins.

Mrs C and Group A with Southland Sharks basketball team members Mark Dickel (captain and ex Tall-Black) and Gareth Dawson |
Many of us were able to ride onto the slope of the track, with some, like Liam, heading right up into the top half of the track - we learnt that with these racing bikes it is important to keep your speed up when on the slope (as it is MAJORLY steep!)
None of us got as fast as Eddie Dawkins though - in a race he would have lapped us almost four times in the time it took most of us to do one lap!
As for our basketball skills - there could be a few future Southland Sharks and Tall Blacks or Tall Ferns in the class going by some of the great shots that were happening!
Thanks to the parents who drove us there and helped with the sessions (some of you were pretty good on the bikes or basketball shots too!)
