We were so lucky today to have the Jets come to Newbury and run practice. Thanks to the Jets, you guys are awesome!! Thursday is the last game for the summer league so good luck to both teams.

Mr Baker is currently making up the teams for the Winter league. So far I have enough players for a Y7/8, Y5/6 and Y3/4 team. Unfortunately I only have a coach for the Y3/4 team. So if anyone knows someone who is keen to coach basketball let me know. If we don’t find coaches we won’t enter the teams.

Check out the photos from today.

Hey Room5ians, did you know there is only 9 more days to go until the end of the term? (And two of those are at the Athletics) It only seems like yesterday that I started at Newbury. It has been such a busy and exciting term. Who can remember day one? Have you enjoyed Term 1? What’s been your favourite part? What haven’t you liked? What do you think will happen in Terms 2, 3 and 4? Send me a comment with your thoughts.

What’s happening this week?

Who is in the Physical Activity Team? Well the answer is on Mr Baker’s classroom window. The team is made up of 10 students ranging from Y4 to Y8. Congratulations to everyone who was chosen and thanks to all the students who applied. Lets get Newbury Active!!!!

Tuesday is the Hillary Team athletics at the Massey athletics track. Should be an exciting day full of running, jumping, throwing and cheering. Don’t forget to wear your house colours. (Mr Baker will find something yellow to wear)

Friday is the Kainui Athletics day again at the Massey Track. This event is all day and is for the Y5-8’s only. Can’t wait, a chance to complete against other schools.

On Thursday is the final Basketball game for the Summer league. Tomorrow the JETS are coming to school to run practice.

On Saturday are the first Soccer games of the season. Awesome - you can’t beat lacing up the boots and throwing on your soccer strip!!!!

Mixed in with all that is Reading, Writing, Maths, Spelling and Theme.

Congratulations to Eliza for been named P.O.W. You definitely deserve it. Eliza, we will get together this week and make a Voki for you to go on the Blog.

Thanks for all the comments on the baby competition. I will post the answers during the week.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and see you all tomorrow.

Here’s some photos from this afternoon’s visit by Mr Hurly from the New Zealand Air Force. I don’t know about you but I found it so fascinating!!! Thanks Mr Hurly, that was the best bit of learning we have done all week!!!
