Class Farewell to Teacher

Georgia's cake

The class farewelled their teacher Mr Metcalfe at a shared lunch yesterday as he will be absent for the rest of the school year due to a hip replacement operation and time required for recovery. Libby and Bailey spoke on behalf of the class, presented him with a giant "Get Well Soon" card signed by the class, and wished their teacher well, and Georgia presented a specially baked cake for the occasion. Mr Metcalfe is aiming to be back for the last day of the school year.

Chess Nationals

In the recent holidays I went down to Nelson to the Chess Champions Trophy tournament. Out of 80 kids from  juniors to seniors I got 33rd and also achieved a half point off the best girl, making myself tied with second best girl. (I personally prefer saying that I was the best Intermediate School girl) -Jasmine Podmore

The High Jump was a particularly successful event with Campbell Brown winning the Year 7 Boys event, Nicole Allen and Amelia Shepherd achieving 1st and 2nd in the Year 8 Girls event, and Harry Yates coming 3rd in the Year 8 Boys event. Libby Williams came 3rd in the Year 8 Girls Cricket Ball Throw and Holly Walsh came 3rd in the Year 8 Girls Discus. Campbell also gained a 1st in the Year 7 Boys Long Jump, and Harry went on to win the 100 metres and 200 metres sprint finals. Amelia won the 200 metres final, and Nicole also got 2nd in this event. Many other Kahikatea students also achieved placings in events, and the relay teams with many Room 5 students included also achieved placings. The Year 7 Girls came 3rd, Year 7 Boys came 2nd, Year 8 Girls 2nd, and the Year 8 Boys were winners on the day! The points competition will be announced at an Assembly in the near future!
