5S - Middle Ages Day

Middle Ages Day, in honour of our Robin Hood Production, has been a great success. From playing Chess and Nine Men's Morris, to learning how to write in calligraphy, the boys have thoroughly enjoyed the experience of stepping back in time.

Science Fair - 2016

Science Fair 2016 has proved to be a very successful event this year. I have been extremely impressed with the level of understanding and professionalism that the boys have displayed with their work.

Ocean Sports Trip

On Thursday 16th June, 25 students from Y5 had an opportunity to attend a 'Boat Safety' course at Wellington Ocean Sports. The weather was a 'typical' Wellington winter's day - with blue sky and plenty of sunshine! The boys spent 45 minutes in the classroom, learning about water and boating safety, before they then moved onto the practical session. These included sail boating, kayaking and paddle boarding. Check out these photos, to see what an amazing time they had! Ocean Sports on PhotoPeach Ocean Sports 2 on PhotoPeach

Rainbow

These photos don't do it justice - as we were treated to an amazing view from our classroom window this morning. One of the biggest and brightest rainbows we've ever seen - stretching across the harbour, against a brooding sky!
