Term 4 Week 2

Basketball

This term we are very lucky to have 5 sessions with Auckland basketball every Tuesday.  For our first session Coach Adrian and Coach Marco went through what the different areas of the court were eg: baseline, sidelines and the centre line. We played some games to help us to practise some of our stances in basketball and we also worked on developing some of our ball handling skills.  We all enjoyed attending basketball and can't wait for our next session. 

 

Niue Language Week

On Friday we had an amazing assembly to celebrate Niue Language week.  Here are some of our pics...

Lunch with Mr Naidoo

This week Pharelle and Apoua were selected for lunch with Mr Naidoo. These students have worked extremely well throughout the week and have been demonstrating their PRIDE values at our school. Here is their writing on their lunchtime experience....

LUNCH WITH MR NAIDOO

It was a bright lovely sunny day when Ms Turu had to decide which two amazing students were going to have lunch with the Deputy principal Mr Naidoo. It soon became time to chose those two people and surprisingly it was Pharelle and Apoua...which was us!

Once we got told that, we had to take a messenger tag and leave the class and walk sensibly to Mr Naidoo’s office. When we quietly entered the office we sat down and Mr Naidoo asked us what P.R.I.D.E value did we demonstrate in the classroom. Pharelle answered determination and Apoua answered determination and integrity.

While we waited for the other two students from each class to arrive Mr Naidoo politely asked if we could go to the other classes to ask for the other two kids. When everyone finally came, Tremayne led us in saying the prayer in Maori. Once we had done that we began to devour the delicious pizza made from Pizza Hut.

During the feast we said some funny jokes and talked and laughed with each other. The pizza was so delicious that as we bit through the succulent pizza the mouth watering taste of it ran through our mouths and we had to ask for more. After that we were all stuffed with food and we kindly said thank you to Mr Naidoo. We then left the office and that’s when we thought that making good choices can really pay off and take us a long way to success.
