Ripper Rugby and Reading Tents

On Thursday Miss D'Ath went down to Napier to see what Nelson Park School get up to. It was a very cool chance to see what they get up to down there. It was also a chance to pick up a very cool reading tent which has seen a lot of reading visitors this week!

Last Friday there were not many people at school. That was because half of us were at the inter- schools Ripper Rugby tournament at the War Memorial Park in Wairoa.

It was a very chilly morning and all of our feet were frozen! Thankfully we went for a big run to warm ourselves up and then into our games.

I followed our Yr 3 & 4 team around and they were awesome. They focussed on passing the ball to the person nearest them instead of trying to find their friends.

We had some very speedy runners and all our players contributed in either tries or rips. We got into the plate shield final and were working well as a team in our last few games.

A very big thank you to all the parents who came and supported us. Especially Bernie who coached the team.

We all had a lot of fun.
