Waitemata @ Waikowhai Primary School

We have started Softball this term with a lot of enthusiasm. We first learnt how to catch the ball by arranging our hands like a butterfly, how to catch a grounder with monkey hands and how to swing the bat from above our shoulder. Here are some pics

Getting ready for our opening night of our school production!

Athletics is coming in Week 5. We began practising this week. Here are some action shots of Room 10 trying out the High Jump Some of us are still working on our technique, not bad for our first try!

Our fantastic Middle School Councillors are already making a difference! In one of their meetings they discussed what to do about students that are finding it hard to make friends in the playground. They decided to build a friendship bench! This bench will be a place that students can go if they are feeling lonely or left out. The councillors will monitor it and make sure they encourage others to play with them by having a box of toys and equipment for the friendship bench. Way to go councillors, already making positive changes using student voice.
