Busy Week

This week has been an incredibly busy week at Waimataitai. I needed to keep checking my diary more than usual just to see where I was meant to be there was so much on and then I still didn't manage to make it to some things, however I really can't be in two places at once. After you have finished reading this I suggest you check out the other class blogs particularly those In Learning Team 2 as they have had a very culinary week!! Today I enjoyed a very tasty Mexican meal at Room 4's "Amigo's Restaurant". All week I have been treated to a dining experience in with the classes in Learning Team 2 - a great effort. This would not have been possible without the enthusiastic and supportive response and input from the parents of these children. The look of delight on the faces of the students when they saw their parents arrive to be seated for their meal and the pride of the parents as they experienced what was very good service ( think we could teach some others a thing or two!!). I would be interested to know if the skills displayed this week transfer to home??????
There was also the South Canterbury Swimming Sports and I was delighted to hear the feedback of those who attended - that our students were outstanding in their behaviour and attitude ( of course) as I was unable to get there.

We had two of the Otago Nuggets ( basketballers) visit today and they spent some time with 20 of our more enthusiastic basketballers. It was great to hear them say our students displayed the best fundamental basketball skills they have seen to date and they also added - and "we have been to a lot of schools".

Our week finished off with the "House Tug of War". Great to see so many parents turn up and then to take each other on in house teams. These things create the memorable moments in your children's minds, the times when they realise just how important they are when they see their parents taking part. Great effort and thanks for making a difference in your child's life.
