Rooms 7 and 8 girls took part in self defence lessons. This was an all day session where they learned how to use their words and actions to protect themselves. The teachers sat in on the sessions to see the girls in action. It was a great day!

Sport with Sport Northland
Sport with Sport Northland's Wiremu
Once a week we have been joining in the Leadership group run by Sport Northland. We have enjoyed traditional Maori games, often with objects from the whenua /nature. Here are a few photos of some of us at work on the field having a great time. We were stretched in our game and social skills, which added onto our class theme of "Team" this year. We played with several year levels.

Hail Hits Ahipara School
Hail Hits Ahipara School
One stormy day in June, hail poured out of the sky and covered our school yard and deck. The hail stones were quite large and took a long time to melt. Once the thunder and lightning stopped we ran outside to play with the hail. It was so much fun but our hands felt frozen!
School Speech Finalists from Room 8
School Speech Finalists from Room 8
The room 8 speech finalists were Boston, Mia, and Zara, and Boston and Mia co-won the Year 4 speech award. We were very proud of the quality of room 8's speeches this year and very happy for our winners. The judge was impressed with the content and delivery of the speeches. Each speech was meaningful to the speaker and met the criteria that had been stated at the start of speech writing.

Whaea Bex organised for the lanterns to be at the event and the event organisers supplied these to the school . We thought our lanterns looked beautiful! What do you think?
