Athletics Practices Begin!

Now that all the big kids are finished with their Athletics day it is our turn to start preparing for ours. The Junior Athletics will be held in week 7 on Wednesday November 25th. In the meantime we will be holding practices in the afternoons to learn all the skills for the various events. Today we had our first wee try of three stations - the long jump, shotput and sprints. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon so it was lovely to get outside!

We discussed with the children about wearing suitable shoes for the next few weeks while we are doing our training. Please come in your trainers every day ready to run around! We also reminded them that jandals are not allowed at all at school.

We'd also like to do a first call out in preparation for our Christmas concert. We would like to make some tie dyed t-shirts in our Forest, Ocean and Volcano colours and wear them during our performance. For this we will require one plain white t-shirt for each child. Some time in the next couple of weeks could you please send a named t-shirt for your child. We suggest the $3 clothing shop in Ferrymead, The Warehouse or Kmart. Thank you!
