Term One Week Ten - Oh my gosh!

Oh my gosh! What has, or should we say what has NOT been happening in the past three weeks!

Apologies to our regular followers - to cut a long story short...

In Week Eight Mrs Coyle was on a two-day course in Wellington, fog came down in the late afternoon stranding Mrs Coyle, Mr McKenzie and about two thousand other passengers...Mrs Coyle and Mr McK had to spend an extra day in Wellington waiting for a flight to Christchurch, then a night in Christchurch before getting home on Friday! Only a day and a half later than expected! Thanks to Mrs Shepherd and Mrs Miller for running the class while Mrs Coyle was stuck!

Congrats to Sarah who was awarded the Senior MVP at celebration this week for applying the value of excellence.

Week Nine was our X-factor X-pedition to Camp Columba at Pukerau - two and a half days of X-cellent and X-traordinary efforts from all pupils - see this post and also keep an eye on our You Tube channel for photostories about it, as well as on our personal blogs!

Week Ten has also been a ripper! We will all be ready for our holiday break I can tell you!!

On Tuesday we attended the Sport Southland soccer tournament in Gore, where we had three teams putting into practice the skills we have been learning with Lucy on Tuesdays. It was really cool to have four games each and we all played really well - our skills improved immensely by the fourth game (and we were all pretty tired!)

On Wednesday we were thrilled to have two members of the Southern Steel team (great game on Monday night Steel!!) come along with Maureen from Road Safety Southland to share an important message about seatbelt safety in cars - check out this post to see more!

This was a cool way to end our inquiry - for which we have been busy finishing our individual 'asking further' research questions which we have presented as posters, photostories, PowerPoints or videos. You can see some of our work on our individual blogs.

Today is a half day as we head off for Easter and a well-deserved two week break! Have a good one everybody! Thanks for all the hard work this term - Kokako pupils rock!
