Maori Art Week

For the past week the junior syndicate has been involved in a Maori Art Week. We have done 4 different activities including kites, 3D Maori myths, Maui and the sun pictures and newspaper mural art. We have used dye, chalk, pastel and crayons to create these masterpieces! They all look fantastic, come and visit us to see them on the class walls.

Rippa Rugby Central Otago Finals

Try! We won! On Friday the Year 4 Rippa Rugby team went to Cromwell to play in the Central Otago Finals! There were teams from the Wanaka area, Queenstown area as well as teams from the Alexandra area and there were 3 separate grades, year 3/4, year 5/6 and year 7/8 so there were heaps of players and supporters! When we got to Cromwell it was chilly but we soon got used to it. Our first game was at 10 o'clock against Arrowtown. We thought we lost but it was actually a draw. Sadly, we lost our next 2 games but we came alive in game 4 and won the next 2. We were really proud of how we played and hope that we can do it all again next year.
Many thanks to Mr Groters for coaching us and to all the parents who came and supported us.
