Early in the morning we were watching the frost settle on the school grounds and thinking that this may not be the best choice of days. One little lad arrived at school, took one look at the frost on the ground and announced to the staff, "This is ridiculous."
The day was beautiful after the sun came out and melted the frost away. Every child who was at school, with one exception gave Cross Country a go. Our goal is to have everyone at school on cross country day and to give their best shot. There are lots of big challenges in life and facing a tough or unknown challenge can be very difficult. Tears are okay too because they help us to overcome our fears and to get some victories in our lives. Great job everyone.
As always our teachers an kaiawhina were brilliant and have put so much time into getting this organized. Sadly there are no bonuses for them; it's all part of the huge job called teaching.
Congratulations to all of the winners. It was very special to have so many parents, grandparents and whanau present. It really stood out this year that our whanau are so positive in their encouragement of their own children, and that they encourage other children too. This is what makes us special. We are a great little school whanau.
Our lovely PTA made hot soup for the parents. We had some at lunchtime. It was delicious too.
I think by the next whole school sports competition that our flash new coffee machine will be up and running.
