Team 18 Super swimmers!!

Today we had another successful edition of the Middle Syndicate Swimming Sports. It was great to see so many children really taking risks and 'striving for success' and taking part in a number of optional races. Well done to Tom, Kenji and Sam who dominated to Year 4 boy events. Hampden House were too quick in the relay but it was Ngatiawa who claimed overall bragging rights as event winners.

Maths at the Museum

The Middle Syndicate classes all visited the Nelson Museum to view a maths related exhibit called 'Vital Statistics.' It was all about different ways we have measured length, weight and volume over history.

Too Cute!

Last Friday Taemen and Amen brought in their 3 cute little turtles (Sunny, Ocean and Sky) to share.  We learnt that they can live for up to 70 years and that they love eating dried fish. 

House Meetings

On Friday the houses got together to listen to senior children tell them why they would make a great house leader. It was fantastic to see up to 15 children from each house with the confidence to get up and speak in front of such a large audience.

3...2...1...GO!! I started racing down the huge hill. I can see the rough, bumpy path ahead of me. I can also hear the huge crowd around me. The taste in my mouth was very dry, my heart was racing like a puma pouncing - it was amazing! I could see the blue sky and there was a helicopter up above me. I just hit the finish line in a flash.
