Swimming Sports at Jellie Park on PhotoPeach

Last Friday we had our Swimming Sports at Jellie Park. It was the first time our Year 5's had taken part in the swimming sports and they all showed the 3 R's with enthusiasm. I was very impressed with everyone taking part regardless of their swimming ability and they all gave their events 100%. Not one student said they didn't want to be involved. Great display of being Resolute Room 24.
The class relay team represented our class well and swam their hearts out and we are thrilled to say we came third! Ka pai! Every student in Room 24 should give themselves a pat on the back for their efforts. Hopefully you are as proud of yourselves as I am of you! Room 24 Rocks!

Ronan at the Canterbury Cross Country

I got to school all pumped up ready to go to the Canterbury Cross Country Competition. When I got to class, I told everyone I was going. Mrs Ellis gave me good luck and I needed it. When I got there we lined up in our Zones (West, East, South etc). And then BANG! The battle had started. I was trying to catch up with people especially Taylor. We had to run 2km's non stop. There were hills and creeks to run around. When I finished, I came 42nd out of 119 people. I was very proud of myself!

What is coming up in Room 24?

Student Council Report

Student Council Report 19 November

It’s been a great couple of weeks at the student council. We’ve put together some events and there has been some improvements to our wonderful school.

The zones athletics have just been and we have so many people through to the Canterbury’s. Well done to Izzy, Ruby and Cody who made it through from our class. Good luck!

The end of year disco is coming up on the 30th of November. We hope to see you all there!

The scooter race is on Friday of week seven for anyone who wants to participate.Wear a helmet and bring a lock for during the day. This event is held on the tennis courts with Mr Mabin. Hope to see you all out there having fun and stepping up!

The lock on the girls Rm 24-23 toilet is getting fixed by Chris. The wheelie bin for the field isn’t being put out anymore.

We would like to make a huge acknowledgement to Lisa Francis for teaching New Zealand sign language to some students. Well done to those people who participated and were committed-a great way to see students stepping up and reaching out!

We are having another mufti day but are still deciding whether to have it themed or not.

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you stepping up and achieving your personal best.
