Cross Country Training

We have been training for the Cross Country every afternoon. 

We have been running a different track this week. We start at the bottom field, run up the bank by the pool, run in front of Marama, pass the sandpit and back down the bank. 

Here are some of our action shots! 

Sandpit Fun

Our sandpit is a very popular place to play! All sorts of team work and construction takes place here every day.

Whole School Shared Healthy Lunch

We finished off Term 1 and our Making Healthy Food Choices unit with a whole school lunch, prepared by the students. It was a great way to finish the term! After our first course we enjoyed a performance from the Motueka High School band, before enjoying our main course (sandwiches, pizza, sushi, savoury muffins, etc). Thanks to Motueka New World and Richmond Pac n Save for giving us gift vouchers to spend on our healthy lunch.

Cycle Safety

The Year 4 and 5s from Turama took part in Cycle Safety with Constable Tonkin in the last week of school for Term 1. The students had a great time improving their bike skills on the court and bottom field. Thanks Mr T!

Writing time

Our students like to write in a range of different spaces! Lately they have been writing some entertaining narrative stories.

Godzone hero 'Jake' visits us

We were so lucky to be invited to Marama today to listen to a very special visitor called Jake talk to us about his experience on the Godzone adventure race. Jake was racing in Team Motueka and came 8th overall. The students asked him lots of great questions about his race and we found out that he only got 9 hours sleep in 5 days! He was so sleepy at one stage that he walked into a rock and cut his nose.

Genius Hour presentation

All the Year 5s really enjoyed taking part in Genius Hour each Friday over the term. Brecon and Cooper presented their Genius Hour project with the class. It was pretty awesome!
