Friday 16 August – Term Three, Newsletter 12 2019

NEWSLETTERS ARE DISTRUBITED FORTNIGHTLY ON EVEN WEEKS.

Tena ra koutou ki nga hau e wha – Greetings to everybody.

Jump Jam “ Hype” ( Jump Jam team made up of 10 year 6 students and 2 juniors) competed in a

competition last Tuesday at Kamo Intermediate. They came away very successful!

Excellence in Presentation - confident performance with attitude, singing, calls, and that “spine- tingling magic”.

Excellence in Technical Execution - moving together in time with the music, energy, sharpness of the movements and difficulty of the routine.

Excellence in Sportsmanship - ( VERY important ) - team spirit, being tidy, using manners, and celebrating and cheering for other schools.

Best New School competing in Whangarei

AND the 2019 JUMP JAM trophy which is proudly on display in the office. Myself, parents, siblings, and grandparents were bursting with pride watching the group perform. Even though the children felt nervous and excited, they appeared confident on stage and “wowed” us all, including the judges. Team members - Kaprice and Alexi Livingstone, Keilana Pornnikom, Kalea Cherrington, Jared Moggach, Tane Traill, Indi Marsland, Te Aho Roger, Sam Welsh, Kayla Tindall, Aria Harrison and Peyton Slatter.

Kids for Kids Choir Performance

Last week, all the choir's hard work of learning all the words for fifteen songs and practising their parts culminated in a fun, action-packed performance at Forum North. They were part of a combined choir with seven other schools, singing with Jackie Clarke and Nathan King, who led the concert. Three of our choristers were soloists, with Abbie Franklin and Manaia Mackie singing and Aylssa Moore-Boyle rapping. They all did a great job in front of a very receptive audience. It was a great night, and the children did themselves proud. Well done, everyone!

Shelley Muston.

Congratulations to Hype for their successes. All that practice and effort paid off.

Huge thanks to Jan Olney for coaching the team and organising our participation in

this event.

Congratulations also to our choir children for their outstanding performance in the

Kids For Kids Choir. Our Soloists Manaia Mackie, Alyssa Moore-Boyle and Abbie

Franklin performed beautifully. Well done to you all. Thanks go to Shelley Muston

for coaching our singers and organising our participation in that event.

EXTRACT from a reading “Teach from the Heart”

There are many lessons in Cross Country that some people nowadays are unable to see.

Cross Country teaches kids to :

• push hard through feeling uncomfortable - wind, mud, feeling puffed, sweating…

• to work hard ( train )

• to develop resilience

• support their classmates

• be happy for others when they win

• be satisfied with your own effort

• experience the feeling when you cross the finish line knowing you’ve done it.

HAPPY HURUPAKI BIRTHDAY TO: Kyzah-Lee Hepi, Chase Middleton, Izzy

Mauer-Maclaine, Connor Diamond, Jedd Abrahams, Emil Strachan, Xavier

Johnson, Islah Lawrence, Rheanna Cleary and Anya Slykerman!!
