We are collecting items of food each week for our gala. Last week we recieved a huge amount of canned goods -thank you! This week is packaged food week. Please bring in an item of goods for our quick fire raffles. We appreciate your support!

We are the Champions!

I am sure there were a few on the edge of their seats on Sunday night, but the result was worth the eighty minutes of anxiety! We are so proud of our New Zealand team. Way to go! I have posted three questions about the match below. Correct answers will be drawn out of a hat for a prize at the end of this week.
1. Who scored New Zealand's only try?
2. Who kicked our penalty goal?
3. What was the final score?

RWC

Our school held our own RWC tournament in the first week of term. All children participated in pool games in a variety of fun sports. Winners then competed in semi finals, quarters and then the final which was fought out between NZ and Russia. Russia came out victorious! Let's hope our All Blacks don't suffer the same fate in this Sundays final!

Children came dressed in black to support our team...Go the mighty All Blacks! Thank you Mrs McIntosh for organising this fabulous event...you rock!
