By makayla Hawker and ella JohnsonAt the end of last year Mr. Wilson
left our school and we needed to find
a new principal. Mrs. Martin
stepped up to be our principal until
we could find someone fantastic to
take her place. After a long, hard
search we finally found the fantastic
person that we were looking for. His
name is Simon Clarke. He came
from Balmacewen Intermediate. He
is quite tall and slim. He is sporty.
He is handsome. By the way, Mr
Clarke told us to say those things!
Mrs Martin enjoyed being our
principal. She was popular and did a
great job.

six are playing touch Rugby. Touch is avery common sport in the Summer.
Touch is played down at the Oval. There
are 6 touch teams there is 3 yr 5/6 teams
and 3 yr 3/4 teams. The touch teams
have done well so far.
Touch is played with 6 players on the
field at a time .The team has to pass the
ball amongst its players and try to get a
try at the try line .
The other team has to defend the try line.
They have to stop a try being scored by
touching the team that has the ball. They
get 6 touches and the ball is then turned
over to the other team.
Touch Rugby is played in term one and
four.
Touch Rugby is so much fun if you
havent played it give it a go next year.

MiniballThere were two year 3/4 teams in
miniball for 2011. The names of the
teams were the Legends and the
Demons. The Demon's season was
excellent with no loss. The Legendswon most of their games but lost some
too. The two teams practiced at 1:00 on
Thursdays.
Mr Reid, teacher of Room 2a, was the
coach of the Legends. The team thought
that Mr Reid was a really good coach.
William Edwards, Dylan Fisher, and
Henry Dickson were assistant coaches.The team really appreciated their hard
work and training.
KiwisportsSome students from Otago Girls came
ant taught us some fun sports. We got to
do things like netball, cricket, and rippa
rugby. We had a great time playing lots
of different games and we learn't new
stuff. We got to have some serious fun.
At the end we played a real game of the
sport we had been learning about. It was
really enjoyable and we really
appreciated Otago Hirls for teaching us
these wonderful sports.

School SwimmingUsually twice a year the school goes to
swimming lessons. The Seniors go toMoana Pool and the Middles and Juniors
go to Dunedin North Intermediate. We
are pretty lucky to go swimming because
New Zealand has heaps of water around
it and kids need to learn how to swim so
they can stay safe. The Seniors have
been swimming two or three times a
week in the term 4 block. The Juniorsgo swimming for eight days in a row.
The seniors walk down to Moana Pool
and the Juniors take the bus to DNI.
School swimming is fun.

By Madison Room 9
Today we learnt about dog safety. Here are some
ways to keep safe:
Stay still and cover your face if a dog runs
up to you.
If you want to pat someones dog, ask if
you can.
Curl up in a ball so a big dog doesnt trip
you.
