Owai Olympics!

Wow! What a fabulous Owai Olympics! So much fun was had with our WHOLE school. Every class represented a different country. Room 25 and Room 3 (our  buddy class) represented NEW ZEALAND! We all dressed in black and white clothes and made NZ banners. We paraded in the Opening Ceremony, sang the National Anthem and saw the Olympic Torch being delivered by Darrien to declare the 2016 Owai Olympics open!!

During the day we competed in the gumboot throw, potato and spoon race, tug of war, long jump, baton relays, three legged race, weightlifting and so many more fun activities!

Thank you for organising this amazing day Mr Pressnell. 

Room 25 - Thank you for your passion, determination and enthusiasm... You are all gold medal winners to me!

Cross Country

Room 25 trained with Puriri Team in the lead up to Cross Country. We got fitter and faster during this time, it was very rewarding to feel like our training was paying off. When race day arrived (on Friday 12th August) we felt excited and nervous at the same time! Congratulations to Rawinia, Hibo and Maryam who placed in their age groups. Room 25 - You all showed determination, persistence and positive attitudes! Very proud of you all.

Our current school focus... You are great learners Room 25!

It feels good to hold the golden certificate!

Over the holidays Room 25 worked hard towards our goal... To be the champions of the holiday reading log competition! Well done to every single person in Room 25, what a fabulous team you are! Congratulations as well to Room 6, who took first place equal. 

Keep up the super reading everyone!

Our trip to the Owairaka Community Gardens!

On Monday 8 August 2016 Room 25 headed down to the Owairaka Community Gardens. A lot of us spend time at these gardens and we understand the importance of them to our community. We tidied up around the garden beds, harvested a cabbage to use in Garden to Table, pulled out lots of weeds, put mulch down and enjoyed getting some fresh air in the beautiful sunshine.

Thank you to Licha's Mum and Dad and Ms Cramer for joining us, we really appreciate your support.
