Tech Arts Wk 10

Our last session on these rotations.

TACs Cross Country

2012 TACs Cross Country at Puketapu School was a perfect day. Although the course was challenging, steep and poohy, it was exciting and not too slippery. All of our students ran their hearts out. Congratulations to Olivia who came second in the Year 8 Girls race.

Wheels Day

Today was "Wheels Day' for the Seniors.  It means a mufti day and scooters, skateboards and ripsticks at school.  We have first right on the courts during breaks and our teachers even let us take our wheels out during classtime!

Catholic Clash

On Friday 7th September, combined with the Yr 7 and 8s from St Joseph's, we competed against St Patrick's in the annual Catholic Clash.  The weather was fantastic, the competition tough and sportsmanship fair.  Unfortunately the Hastings team lost out.  Bring on next year.

Talk The Talk Radio Debate

 Our 2 debating teams who participated in the Talk the Talk Debate on Radio Kidnappers.
The moot for the debate was 'that boy bands have a positive influence on today's teenagers'.

The affirmative team were Henrietta, Angel and Bridgette.

The debate was won by the negating team of Niko, Misinale and Olivia.
This team will now go on to the next round of the debate to be held in Term 4.


You can listen to the full debate by checking out the Radio Kidnapper's web site.

Sport Skills Session

Today Room 1 had an awesome sport skills session with Paul Webb from Hawke's Bay Athletics. We all learned lots of new skills and had heaps of fun. We are looking forward to working with him again next term.

Van Gogh's Sunflowers

          Today we used Van Gogh's Sunflowers as inspiration for our charcoal drawings.
