Welcome back, great to see all the students back to Gulf Harbour School.
We’re off to a great start. We are in week 2 already, team names are sounding pretty good.There’s Poutama which means building up, the Shire which is from the Hobbit, there’s the Thunderbirds which is a movie made in the 1960s and the Stadium which is undecided. It’s really good to see the teams getting together.
Year 5 camp to Whatipu is coming up soon. Year 3-4s are getting ready to go to Shakespear. Camps are in Week 4.
The Stadium challenged the teachers to a game of Cricket. Quite a lot of students turned up with signs that they made saying ‘Go teachers’ or ”Boo Stadium’. The Stadium won but the teachers are still not sure about score. Every kid in the school is learning how to play cricket. I’m pretty sure that at least one student in Gulf Harbour School will make it into the Black Caps. Watch this space! They will be learning how to catch and hit a ball and all of that type of stuff.
The water slide has been in action this week, people have been slipping and sliding down it like crazy. Soon we will be having a speed competition teachers against students. Can teachers get their revenge?
The picnic at Shakespear was really fun. There were Bouncy castles, Sports equipment and loads of people introducing their parents to their teachers.
So all in all a fantastic start to the year!
