Week 9

Watch out for our Walk the Length of NZ day on Thursday 26 September - next week. We would love to have you join us - either by coming along on our walk, or by donating your steps from wherever you are.
In preparation for this we have been learning to calculate the speed of walking by measuring the perimeter of the field (about 0.5 km), working out how long it takes to walk the perimeter twice (about 14 minutes) and dividing that by 60 minutes. We walk at about 4 km per hour.



Wacky Hair and Bad Taste Day was fun on Friday. 

Some people went to a lot of trouble to look Wacky. Some people went to the 'salon' in the hall to get a hair do from the Student Council. Thanks team!







Sadly we fare-welled Hamish this week, as he and Rosemary have returned to Japan. We look forward to seeing them again, early next year.
