Netball Parade 16th May 2015

Congratulations to Clendon Park School for winning ‘Best dressed Club’ at Parade Day on Saturday!!  CPS will be engraved on the trophy and Smokefree NZ gave us a bag full of drink bottles and a Netball. 

We had fantastic weather and everybody looked great with their uniforms, flags and banners.  We had heaps of supporters there too, including Mrs Dawson who was seated with the rest of the dignitaries.  She was also one of the three community leaders that were asked to shoot the opening season goal together!!  Go Mrs Dawson!!!!

Hokotehi Owenga Softball

On Friday we had our softball game. We versed Leebank Scorpions, we lost our game because some people couldn't control their anger. Then we had a turn batting and they got us out. We were sad because some of us never got to catch but we tried and tried but we still lost our game. It was OK though, because my teacher Miss Tuapawa and Miss Magaoa came to watch us. We were surprised and nervous to see them at our game. We had our prize-giving because that was our last game for the season. The team that won all their games was Hokotehi Scorpions, they won medals. We got to have a free ice-cream, sausage sizzle, water and lollies.

Bacteria: Friend or Foe?

Looking at the bacteria that has grown over the week through the microscopes

Not all Bacteria are bad, some help us to survive each day. Some bacteria can be found in food we eat like yoghurt and cheese. There is even bacteria in some medicines, that help us get better.

Maths learning Week 3

Room 8 using different strategies to solve a range of problems.

There was discussions, debates, justifications and editing but an awesome first lesson.

Remember to work on your questioning Room 8 and know that its OK to ask questions when we don't understand something.
