District Athletics

Last Wednesday a group of our amazing Atheltic students made their way to Herries park. This group of students represented SAS in Thames Valley Athletics. All athletes did us proud and we were very successful in all the relay races.

Well done to everyone that took part on the day and huge congratulations to those who placed and who will go on to represent us in the Waikato Full Primary Athletics this Wednesday!

Our last assembly item!

On Friday the 24th of November Room 4 presented their last class item in assembly! We decided to reflect on and re-enact some of the highlights we have had throughout the year. There have been so many and only a few made the cut!

If you missed our presentation in assembly here is just the highlights video below.

Middle School Meet!

Yesterday for two-thirds fo the day the middle syndicate came together to do some fun end of year activities. We practised singing our hearts out for our end of year performance assembly (it's in week 9 on Thursday 14th Dec come check it out!),  we took up a challenge that involved constructing a tower strong enough to hold a basketball off the ground and we played colour tag! A game that was learnt on middle school camp.

Check out these photos from the Basketball tower Challenge! 

The Year 4 girls took the challenge out with a Tower standing above knee hight and nearly withstood our stamping earthquake!

2017 Districts Athletics

On Wednesday the 15th November, 79 of our top Athletic students represented our School in District Athletics.

Room 4 had several people representing SAS and they all performed well on the day! 

It all got very competitive between the Schools, especially in the relays. SAS did great in all of them we only didn't place in one! Which is a great success!

We are very proud of all students who participated on Wednesday. It is going to be thrilling to hear about how Anna, Anna, Calauz, Daniel, Jessica Kahurangi and Trevor get on when they represented us once again at Thames Valley Athletics this coming Wednesday! Congratulations to you 7 on your fantastic achievements!

STUDENT LED SPORT!!

Over the past couple of weeks, Room 4 has been stepping up into the role of a teacher. In pairs or on their own students have been leading whole class fitness. This has involved them organizing the class and instructing them where to go, warming the class up, engaging them in 2 games or activities and then packing them up and instructing them back to class.

They have been absolutely incredible this week with lots of different activities being played. Today's instructor was Daniel and he did a fabulous job of organizing and instructing our team! ka pai Room 4!!!

120th AP&H Show in Te Aroha

Last weekend was Te Aroha's 120th AP&H show and each of the classrooms at school entered an art project. Our class entered into the Recyclable Materials category. We had free range on what we wanted to create, the only criteria were, it couldn't be bigger than a shoe box and had to be made entirely out of recyclable items. 

We had people making, basketball hoops, pumpkins, monsters, shoes, a horse, sand timers and so much more! 

On the day we had 3 winners! Anna and Anna took out 1st place with their cardboard horse, Teia took out 3rd along with Riley. Teia had created an awesome cat made from a drink bottle and Riley created a Halloween pumpkin out of a bottle and a snake from old wallpaper. 

Congratulations you 3 on your wonderful creations!

Room 4's Highlight from camp!

Here's what Room 4 enjoyed at Lake Ranch Camp.

We're back and are straight back into it!

What an amazing week we all had last week! It was an awesome week of lots of firsts for many of the students in Room 4 and the rest of the middle school (Rooms 9, 10, 13, some of Room 3 and of course teachers and parents too). We're excited to share our experiences and stories (both the good and the bad) with you throughout the next few weeks - so keep checking in!

The dream team minus the parents and teachers!

P.S a MASSIVE thank you to all the parents, caregivers, teachers and students who all worked together to make camp happen! It was one of the best camps most of us have ever been on!!!
