Swimming Sports

It has been a really busy time in the pool for Yrs 4-6 lately - in fact we feel a bit like fish! School Swimming Sports, District Sports and next week 13 competitors will take the plunge again to represent the Hokitika District at the West Coast Swimming Sports. Thanks parents - we couldn't do it without your outstanding support.

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!

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!
