Children's Day

It was children's day on Sunday. It was fabulous to see so many Apanui children enjoying the family day at Rex Morpeth Park.

Hiwi The Kiwi

Mark de Lacy came to Apanui School on Wednesday. He is also known as "The Minstrel" . His show 'Hiwi the Kiwi' is already well known to a generation of Kiwi school children. He has created a fun way of teaching the children of New Zealand about our fishery and the marine environment, and encourages the young people of today to participate in fishing and to enjoy the many opportunities that we are privileged to have in New Zealand.

Triathlon

Some committed pupils attended an Eastern Bay of Plenty triathlon on Thursday. Quinn, Jack, Eva, Janae, Madison and Luke represented the middle school and did a fantastic job! Janae and Jack placed first in the team event. Quinn also placed first! You guys rock! Thank you to the fabulous parents who provided transport and supervision...it was greatly appreciated.

Summer Writing

Room five children have been writing some fabulous descriptions of summer. They presented them very cleverly inside sunglasses. Here is Mannat with her awesome example. Pretty spectacular work ...especially for a pupil to whom English is the second language! Well done Mannat!

School Picnic

It was fabulous to see so many families at our school picnic on Thursday. It was a wonderful community event!

Pepeha

It was awesome listening to the room 4 pupils practicing their pepeha this morning. Our immersion unit adds a special dynamic to our team. The immersion team are off to Ohope tomorrow to their noho marae. Have fun!

 

Go 4 It - Pass it

MJ has been back at Apanui, coaching us how to pass a netball effectively. We have come a long way in our skill development since our first sessions in 2011! Each middle school class will have 3-4 sessions this term to practice and refine their skills. The junior netball module has been changed to start in term one, so these drills will help our kids out when netball trials come around!
