Teachers vs Students...

The annual teachers verses students soccer match was played today in perfect conditions and was, as always, a closely fought affair!  In fact, it was so close this year that it was a 2 all draw!!  The teachers were a bit short of players and so were helped along by a brilliant performance from Cameron and Josh.  Mr Hayward looked cool, at times, but got slower and lazier as the game wore on.  Here's an excellent photo of him in action -

Okay so that's not really him - Mr Hayward is taller than that and he earns a lot less than this guy (Lionel Messi)! Here's the real photos from today...

DROP-COVER-HOLD

Along with the rest of the school (and with students from all over NZ) all of us in Room 16 participated in the ShakeOut earthquake drill today
at precisely 9:26am. 

So we feel well prepared now should an earthquake strike... Drop-Cover-Hold!   

Gravity egg trick/experiment!

Mr Hayward showed us today what happens when gravity's effect on some eggs comes up against the speed of a people/mop powered tray - luckily gravity won and no eggs broke! The only problem was the person videoing it mucked it up a bit so here's some footage of Mr Hayward doing it a couple of years ago! CHILDREN... DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME - but maybe dad could give it a go sometime if he wants!?!

Fun with Maths on PhotoPeach

On Friday morning we took the opportunity as a school to let dads, grandads and uncles know how much we appreciate them by putting on a breakfast and assembly in their honour - just because we reckon they're cool and they deserve it.

In class we also made vouchers for our dads that they can use sometime to get us to do stuff for them... wash the car, weed the garden, clean their football boots, give them a massage, allow them to have a sleep in, etc.
