Our students have just completed another successful four weeks at technology. The theme this term was “This to That” Pupils made pillows, door stops, quilts and pencil cases in soft technology. In food technology they made a range of “brain food” such as pasta and jams. In hard technology the pupils made some thing that held things such as shelves and rubbish bins.

We had a fantastic camp in Rotorua in March. Along with learning to water ski, wakeboard and knee board the pupils enjoyed Maori culture at Te Puia, waka paddling on the lake, a glow worm walk and interacting with the falcons at Birds of Prey.
Many thanks to all the fantastic parents that come along to help!

We have had a very busy start to the new school year. All pupils have been having weekly Grasshopper tennis coaching which has been a lot of fun. Technology at Tauranga Primary has been a highlight for many since beginning their Year 7 class.
There are 12 newly appointed House Leaders and they have been to a worthwhile Dynamo training day at Greenpark School run by Sport BOP.
The Room 2 House Leaders are:
Hannah, Max, Brooke, Nic, Alec and Laura.
CONGRATULATIONS!
On Wednesday the Year 7 and 8 classes visited DiveHQ for a lesson in deep water survival techniques. This will be helpful as we are off to camp at Lake Rotoiti soon.
The sports minded are in training for the Splash, Dash and Paddle to be held on Friday at Pilot Bay. Good luck to those contestants!
