 Our great learners inside the class and outside the class have done really awesome, with our year 5s still at school and our year 6s out at camp.. Here is what they have been up too...





This week Whakapono had 11 Year 6 children go to camp. They went to Camp Lakewood Lodge in Huntly. They have a superb time, from horse riding, climbing wall, mud run, survival of the toughest hehehe... starting a starting a fire to cooking sausages over, kayaking and the all mighty flying fox!!!... 
sleeping in tents and in cabins, sharing with our peers and just being away from family was fun but we missed them heaps..

Yes we have started... We were given the ODD weeks so we missed week 1. This week however is week 3. We were able to use the pool, alas our first lesson did not go ahead as most our children forgot their swimwear at home.  Day 2 was better with most our children remembering, our lessons went ahead.  From reading our PRIDE rules of the pool, walking in safely into the swimming area and the pool our lesson was fabulously awesome!! Lesson included sitting on the floor Swimming with the board while kicking, then breast stroke with the boards They then swam without the boards doing the breast stroke They then did floating on their backs kicking, then with arms and kicking. The children were happy the day was beautiful to have their swimming lesson. Thank you for visiting our blog.
