ANZAC DAY

Anzac day is very special in our community as Tinui held the first ever ANZAC service in New Zealand.
Each year there is a special service held at the community hall and students from the school are chosen to speak. This is a huge honour and we are proud of them.

This year the classes have learned more about ANZAC day through books and artwork and discussions.

We have had a great start to the term.

Room 4 EOTC

The term has come to an end and just before it ended the senior room took part in their camp.
This year it was based locally and consisted of learning to surf, cooking on hobo stoves, team challenges, rock climbing, kayaking, low and high ropes course, caving, a flying fox and camping out then tramping.
We got to share the week with lots of our parents and we had an awesome time and learned lots about challenging ourselves.
A huge thank you to all the parents and helpers who made the week such a great one.

Here is a slide show of our first day which was learning to surf at the gap at Castlepoint. Miles Ratima who is a surfing champion, was our tutor. As you can tell we really enjoyed it.

Golden Shears 50th Jubilee

As part of the Golden Shears celebration there was a competition to decorate a sheep. Tinui School took on the challenge and had a go.
We herded the sheep into town on the Saturday morning and then paraded them through the main street.
A couple of prizes were won.

Well Done everyone and especially Miss Butler who organised it.

Rural kids Day 1

Today the Year 7 & 8 students combined with Wainuioru and Whareama to complete a day tramp.
Mr Cameron lead the way and took us from Mauriceville west over to Mount Bruce.
It was a challenging day with lots of up hill climbs and most of the walk being in the bush.

The sun was shining and the view from the top was amazing. Thank you very much for a great day.
Check out some of the photos.

Room 2 - Individuality

Room 2 have been learning about how unique they are and have been learning to sing the song "Individuality." Miss Hutchings decided that they were so great that she needed to video them. Check them out

Swimming Sports

Tomorrow the 3rd of March is our annual swimming sports.
This year we are holding it in the big pool in town.
We will be competing against Whareama, Wainuioru and Mauriceville schools.
After the sports we will be having a picnic lunch in the park and participating in a games afternoon.
