Surfing

Our surfing lesson took place on a beautiful day in a beautiful setting, Matapouri.
Most of us were able to get up successfully and our water confidence improved immensely.
Look out mums and dads, maybe a surfboard will be on our Christmas wish list!

Adventure Forest

Today the Year 4 classes started their two day outdoor education programme. The classes were split in half. Group A went surfing at Matapouri, and Group B went to the Adventure Forest in Glenbervie. The Adventure Forest involved a lot of courage, determination, problem solving and team work. It is demanding but very rewarding as well.
