St Johns First Aid in Schools

The whole school has been very lucky to have participated in this excellent programme this week..Our students learnt how to bandage, be a first response rescuer, do CPR and how to call emergency services.  This programme is very generously sponsored by ASB Bank so there was no cost to students or the school.  Every senior student received an ASB First Aid Kit as well!  Here are Room H with theirs following their session.

FUN IN THE SUN

Friday was a great time for Room H to get together with our Room C buddies for an enthusiastic and competitive game of "rob the nest".

MC Escher is the Tessellation King!

Whilst we wouldn't argue that MC Escher is not the best Rm I have been doing some pretty cool tessellations also. If you want to give designing one a go watch the video below and get creative!

Yesterday afternoon before Team Assembly the Seniors enjoyed some sunshine on the field as we supported our buddy classes and siblings. They were very enthusiastic and displayed lots of talent as they raced around the track. Well done to the Leadership Team, great support!

Camp Celebration

Mr Ward shows us how it's done

Careful hands...

Today the Senior Team had their Camp Celebration. Mr Ward had the mammoth task of putting together the movies and pictures from camp. (About a million!) Between the slides we competed, in our challenge groups, in a variety of Minute to Win It challenges the teachers had organised  for possible wet weather activities at camp. It was an awesome session with lots of laughs and happy memories of camp!
