Helping Circle

Room 19 have been learning to write persuasive speeches. Today the focus was on the introduction. After the session we had helping circle. As you can see everyone is very focussed. 

Week 5 in Room 19

What a fantastic end to Week 5. 


NETBALL TEAMS: TUI and KERERU both had good wins and what an awesome day it was weather wise.  Ilam Rugby also won their last game Well done to all teams. 





An awesome couple of basketball games. The Celtics played off in the semi final against STAC. Unfortunately they lost but what a game!
Thunder won against Middleton Green. Below is their score!

Good Luck to both teams playing in their finals this week. Celtics play off for 3rd & 4th against Middleton at 3:45pm and Thunder have a huge game against STAC at 4:30pm. If you get a chance it would be great to see you there supporting the teams. 

Huge thanks to Matthew and Miss Drake for their support through the season. 






CONGRATULATIONS to George who received the MVP (Most valued player) for his Hockey team in the weekend. Whoop Whoop
