Olympics

This term we are studying the Olympics for our topic. We have learnt that the Olympic rings have meanings, each colour represents a continent in the world. We have also learnt about the United Kingdom and London and how they are preparing to host Games. We learnt that the Olympic torch is a triangle because the number 3 represents the Olympic values of respect, excellence and friendship.
We are going to do a study on the individual countries and the sports that make up the Olympics. We can't wait for the Games to begin!

Sports Report

The regular rugby season is now finished for our Room 5 team apart from a seven-a-side tournament in Alexandra this coming weekend and the Millers Flat tournament on the 4th of August. Last weekend our team was lucky enough to play Alexandra Black in a friendly game in Alexandra. We lost 7-3, but we all had a good game. This Thursday we are playing another friendly against Heriot at the Roxburgh Rugby Grounds at 4.30pm. Come along and watch us play a great game of rugby!

The Teviot Racers (Year 4) netball team played against the Clyde Diamonds last Saturday. We won the game 4-1 but it was a real challenge. Player of the day was Georgia, well done!

The Teviot Monkeys (Year 3) netball team played against the Alexandra Keas last Saturday. They welcomed 2 new players to their team, Blaise and Jessamy. The Monkeys had a really tough game and lost 6-1. Player of the day was Meg from Millers Flat.

Neleah  plays hockey for Alexandra Primary B Gold and they were playing in Cromwell against Upper Clutha last Saturday. They had a good win 7-0 and they are now top of the points board. Well done Neleah!
