We are due to start our swimming season this week. Please bring your swimming togs along every day - if the weather is suitable we will be swimming every day that we can. It's a great time to check your clothing and swimming gear is named :) A huge congratulations to the huge number of children who represented St Albans School at the zone athletics today.
We are so proud of you all for giving it your very best effort. We have a great team heading off to the Canterbury event in a couple of weeks. Update - 7/11 The children received a paper copy of this notice today. Please return by Friday. Many thanks, Ōtākaro Teachers
Congratulations to everyone for an outstanding Athletics Day - it was so wonderful to see everyone having a great time, setting goals - and achieving (and exceeding!) them. We loved your positive attitude and wonderful commitment to doing your personal best. The sporting attitudes and encouragement we heard today was very heart warming. Please check your child and treat for headlice if required - we have an outbreak within our hub - vigilance is much appreciated as this will help us break the cycle.
We appreciate your support with this. Tayla had a very exciting day working with Mitch James to help create a music video for his latest hit!
She is hoping the music video will be released before Christmas - keep a look out for this very talented girl. November 5 is our school Market Day.

Last week we began a new Sport Education Programme. We began by working together to create teams. Jodi set some criteria to ensure we had a mixture of boys/girls, Waimakariri/Ōtākaro children and a mixture of abilities in our teams. We quickly learned that we had to be willing to be inclusive and willing to compromise to ensure we had a strong team bond. Next we thought about the characteristics key members of a sports team demonstrate. We thought about words to describe coaches, managers, captains and team players. We then had the very tricky job of nominating ourselves or others for specific roles. We had to be able to justify why that person would suit the job. We also learned about the duties we may need to perform when our team is the duty team. We might be a time keeper, grounds person, referee, lines person. We are learning the skills we need to be successful team members and will also learn how to play the sports. This is a very exciting programme. Thank you Jodi - we appreciate the effort you've gone to to make this an awesome learning experience for us. Well done Niamh - today we discovered that Niamh has made the Under 12 Touch Rugby Team.
We are very proud of you Niamh. |
