Wow this planking competition has gone viral! It all started with Mr de Thierry deciding the whole school could engage in a safe, responsible, creative planking comp that would require kids to use problem solving & thinking skills, cooperative strategies and technological skills. Now we've been on the front of the Daily Post, in the Herald and there's even a couple of internet references happening! TVNZ Close Up programme has rung the school as well! Who knows what will happen next! Watch this space!
Thanks Tom for the newsy email and photos....OMG those lollies look good! We decided you have invented a new craze called Plonking because your photo with the fountain showed you lying on your back instead of a planking photo! It was great to hear from you & catch up on your exciting travels in Europe! Yes we are jealous!
No student teacher after all...thanks for the reminder Mikaela! The pace is crazy anyway with Tech products needing to be finished, extensions really getting extended and just the usual busy, busy, busy! We have 2 wonderful new (Year 7) students from S2...Joel & Tapeka have really impressed me with their eagerness to learn and work! They fit in really well so I'm a bit sad we only have them for a few more days!
Congrats to Emily & Josh McD for representing us at the mountainbiking! Both came back without broken bones and sound like they did very well! RIS Has Got Talent has really blown me away...so much talent! Today was the turn of Hamish & Eric (Keyboards), Rhyan, Bailey & Emily all sang & there were lots of new performances from the other Rutherford classes. (R2 rocked it the other day so time to let some others shine!) Congratulations to Chantelle, Mikaela, & Keegan & Michael who didn't perform...phew!
Do you realise there is only 4 weeks of the term left! Eeek! I better go and do some more work! Ciao
