Welcome back

 

Kia Ora koutou,

We are all loving being back at school today! Lots of smiles, laughing and catching up! We are beginning to practice for Athletics which will take place next term and finishing off work from before lockdown. The children loved trying out their discuss and long jump skills with Nina and Adele. 

It's great to be back! :) 

Lockdown Challenge Awards

Kia ora koutou,

Last week we set the Ruru children a few challenges they could try and enter into a competition by blogging their achievements. The four categories they could enter into were:

Tidiest Bedroom - Clean up your room and show us how tidy it is. 

Family Portrait - Draw or take a photo of the people in your bubble!

Tallest Toy Tower - Gather together all your soft toys to build the tallest tower!

Plank Challenge - How long can you hold a plank for?

We had many people entering into the competition and our amazing Teacher Aides were the judges.

The winners for each of the challenges were....

Dasha for the Tidiest Bedroom - check our her blog post here!

Gabriel for his Family Portrait - check out his blog post here!

There have been a few more challenges set up on our Ruru Learning Site for this week. Remember to blog your entries and we will pick the best ones to present on Friday at Ruru's Whānau Hui.

We look forward to seeing you all back at school on Thursday - enjoy the sun and the extra sleep in tomorrow!

Student Council Activity Board

 Kia Ora Ruru, 

Hi Ruru, this morning Mimi and myself tried out Jaydah's skateboarding tutorial. It's been 3 years since I was last on a skateboard because last time I feel off and hurt myself. However Jaydah was such a great teacher I decided to give it a go! -Her curb flip is much better than mine! :) 

I grabbed my brothers long board out of the garage and skated up and down my driveway. I am very lucky to have such smooth concrete. 

Mimi and I look forward to seeing your video's/ pictures of your student council activity board challenges! Remember each post gets you 1 HOUSE TOKEN!!! I am excited to have earned HARVARD 1 token! 

Thank you student council for making these video's I might try and make Polly's and Lottie's crepes next!
