Mahe Drysdale Comic

Cameron and Cody have done a great job writing a comic form script of Mahe's race. They have expressed their thoughts as to what their fellow Olympians may have been thinking.

Rippa Rugby - Paroa

In bone chilling conditions this morning the Rippa Rugby team played 4 games against other West Coast Schools. We had two brilliant wins and 2 losses. The whole team played their hearts out. Watch out for their reports of the game shortly. Here are a few photos of the action.

Go Team Kaniere!

All lined up for the first tap off in game one.

A tired team at the end of our four games - they deserved the rest!

7 March 2016 PE

A wet Monday morning saw us move desks in the class to carry on with our Kiwisport lessons.
The focus this term is striking and fielding games. Throwing and catching are the important skills the students have been focusing on. Today we used tennis balls.

5+ a Day

3 March 2016

Fresh fruit and vegetables were the name of the game at Kaniere on Monday morning as we celebrated healthy eating and 5+ a day. After getting together in house groups for some fun games everyone loaded up their kebab sticks with their own personal selection of goodies.

Tom gave his selection the thumbs up!

Georgia's already got her eye on those yummy strawberries.

 Krista's having fun . . . but as for Mikayla?

Lots of healthy eating in Ruma Tāhi.

Jimmy is keen for a few more bits.

Cameron doesn't look quite so sure about his choice!

Friday Swimming

Friday 12 February

We had a lot of fun down at the town pool this afternoon and appreciated the extra coaching tips from some ex-Kaniere students who are unable to currently attend WHS. Thanks Jack, Mitchell, Grace, Laura, Ella and Preston!

On your marks, get set - GO!

Learning New Skills

This afternoon the class was kept busy learning new skills on the chrome books. Everyone (including Mrs Phelps) now knows how to research in a smarter and more efficient way. You can see from the photos just how much brainwork was required!

Maths in Flight!

As part of our maths the class started designing catapults. It was exciting measuring the flight paths today! Tomorrow they will begin to organise their data into a graph.
