Jellie Park Health Notice

 Kia ora koutou

Jellie Park next Friday 4 December, Depart 9:30am, students in mufti, bring lunch, drink, togs & towel, sunblock, sunhat, sun glasses and some pocket money.

Sunblock is very important for students whose skin is easily burnt by the sun and this can have long term repercussion for the future. The Rāwhiti Staff who go to the pool encourage students to apply sunblock throughout the day. This works if all students recognise that they need sunblock to protect their skin.

This lesson could be supported from home by parents/caregivers over the next week before going to Jellie Park. Please help use keep our tamariki safe in the sun. 

Depart Jellie Park 2:30pm back to school by 3pm.

Athletics Day Blog-Poppy Evans

 Athletics

This week on Monday we did athletics.

Us year seven girls and the year five girls did athletics together, it was super fun for many reasons. I got to see some of my old friends from last year, and I also met some of the new year fives that have come here to Rāwhiti School.

In athletics I did long distance, high Jump, sprints, shot put, discus, Middle Distance and relays. There might have been a few more but I can't remember them. I actually did quite a lot better in all of them based on what I thought how good I was gonna do.

Let’s talk about how it all went.

Alright so high jump. I thought I could have done a bit better but it started off really high, and also I was cold so that just puts me right into uh oh mode. It started at about maybe almost one metre. That's about two thirds of my height! Well maybe about that if my math was about right.

Long jump, it was amazingly fun. I also re-met some of my old friends from last year. I actually got into zones! I came fifth place! I actually tied with somebody else. I can’t remember what I got but it must have been pretty far to get into the zones.

Middle distance, I actually did so much better than I thought. I got into zones for fourth place. I was going to run with two of my friends, but they are really fast runners faster than me. Yeah they took off, so I started running with another friend and she's about my speed, so thats went pretty well. We actually got around to the first lap and we found our paste. We would run most of the track and then walk a little bit and then run again.

Then the rest of them I didn’t do the best. Well actually I couldn’t do relays, because I couldn’t get into a team.
