Taku Wairua #1 - Jessie Smith - BMX World Champ visits

Wow! 

So cool to have Jessie Smith, BMX World Champion for under 19s visit us on the first Taku Wairua session. 

We learnt about the four pillars of the programme - belonging, goal setting, self discovery and Citizenship.

Rugby / Netball Fun Day

 The Rugby / Netball Fun Day was held on Tuesday 25th May at Campbell Park in Morrinsville.

Our two rugby teams played 4 games each. As a school team, the players ranged from regular Saturday club players, to those new to rugby and giving it a go. Extra effort shout out for Campbell, Baxtah and Jamie, who made up the numbers by playing for both teams.

As the title stated "Fun" was the order of the day. No scores were kept and fairplay nominations were drawn out for spot prizes at the conclusion.

What showed through was resilience and perseverance from the players. They held firm to their Tatuanui School values and showed these in their relationships with teammates, opponents, referees and supporters.Well done to our rugby players!  Proud of you all. Mr H.

Nano-Chem Experiment - Making Glow Worms

 We used the Science Kit for the first time. We collaborated in groups and followed the instructions. The chemicals combined to cause a reaction. The blankets made a dark space to view the glow!
