Students Visit Jump Trampoline Park:

As a way of showing our appreciation to the many students who provide a service to the school, we travelled to Jump Trampoline Park for two hours for non stop jumping fun.  Students enjoyed many of the trampolines, dodgeball arenas, jousting logs, parkour obstacles, free fall pits, confidence poles and so much more.

Kiwisport Netball Mania:

Kiwisport Netball Mania:

Term 3, Thursday 31st August, Green Bay School had 2 teams attend the first Kiwisport Netball Mania Tournament.  Both teams were inexperienced and came up against teams that had been playing in the Winter Season and for a few years.  

Green Bay Mystics, played so well as a team and really came together as the day progressed.  They drew in the finals to come 7th equal.  Players for the tournament for this team was Naomi Starke and Logan Main.  They were outstanding  and fought hard in every game.

The second team, Green Bay Magic, played well as a team and really complimented each other in their game sense.  They played 5 games in total and only lost one game in the semi finals.  Players of the tournament would have to be Mary Ofa and Nevaeh Tevi.  Both players defended and attacked extremely well in every game and never gave up.

We would like to say thank you to our parent supporters who came out to watch and cheer our teams on.  It means a lot to the students and they appreciated it.  We would also like to say thank you to Anton our Kiwisport Activator for helping to organise the Tournament, Green Bay High School for their teachers and students who ran the day and umpired all the games and finally thank you to the other schools for turning up and giving us teams to compete against.

On the 22nd of June, term 2, Green Bay School had a disco. The disco was SOOO much fun! There were snacks, drinks, colour hairspray, toys, cool disco lights and funky music. At the disco, me and my friends, and everyone else, really got their groove on! The theme of the disco was WINTER WONDERLAND!!!!!!!!! Everyone had to dress up all wintery.  I am very sure that EVERYONE enjoyed the school disco!  By Jocelyn

Lino Prints:

Lino Prints:

In term 2, for art, Room 2 did lino prints. It was so fun! At first,  Maria gave us pictures to sketch in our art books.  Then we sketched the picture out on a piece of lino. Next, we etched them out with a chisel. After that, we would take coloured ink and roll it out on the sketch. Finally, we would print it out on a piece of paper. When we took the lino off, the paper the picture was there. It looked so cool!  By Jocelyn

New Zealand Sign Language Taster Lesson:

New Zealand Sign Language Taster Lesson:

In Term 2, Room 2 were lucky enough to have Rachael from the New Zealand Deaf Association come into our class.  We learnt how to sign our name, the alphabet, animals and how to introduce ourselves.  It was very challenging for us because we had to only use sign language because Rachael was completely deaf.  One thing that she told us that was very sad, was that when she was 12 years old, students in her class would tease her when she would try to talk.  Her speech was funny and different to people who can hear.  It made us think about how we are all different and we should accept every ones differences, not make fun of them.

Invention Convention:

Invention Convention:

On Wednesday the 5th of July Rimu Whanau had their invention convention presentation. We went to other classes to see their inventions. There were games, water dispensers, food, DIY fidget spinners, time machines, catapults, pet things and other amazing things too.  It was a great way for us to share our learning and see what others were doing in their classes.  By Sophia
