Motupipi School Cross Country Results

Thanks to all the parents and grandparents who came along to

support the children yesterday at the school cross country. The

support and encouragement certainly spurs the children along.

Congratulations also go to all the children who ran as there has

been a lot of sickness around so training has not been regular

and many ran even though they weren't 100%.

Tomorrow we have the Golden Bay Schools Cross Country at

Collingwood however the weather is bit dodgy. If the cross

country is postponed tomorrow, it will be on this Monday 10

August, which unfortunately coincides with a chess tournament

where we are sending a team of 20.

Jude & Grandma came and watched me. Everyone was cheering for me and I ran faster. I got 6th. Ryan - Rm 2 I tripped over on the long grass and it was fun. Mum and Dad came and watched me. Tilly - Rm 2 This was my first cross country it was hard going up the hill. Mum and Dad cheered me on and were proud of me. I came 4th. Bella The cross country was really hard because it was long and hilly. I surprised myself by getting 3rd. Amalie - Rm 4 The cross country was fun because I really enjoyed running. I didn’t think I’d get a prize but I got third which was exciting. Caitlin W—Rm 5

In London I went on the London Eye. You can

see Big Ben. It was held up by two poles. You

were in a big thing that was shaped as a rugby

ball. You went pretty high up and you could

see all over London.

Today I am wearing my

dragon outfit to school. My

Grandma made it for me and

one for my brothers too.

You know the difference be-

cause the other dragon out-

fits have spikes on their

backs.

Tuesday Miniball Results

Mighty Motupipi 26 V TPS Super 7s 6 Motupipi Mighty Megatrons 10 V TPS Fluffy Marshmallows 18

I play for the Mighty Megatrons and we went pretty good. Our team passed really well. I got one goal. Hayden - Rm 4

I had my first game of miniball and I really liked it. I got two goals and I liked being able to dribble the ball. I want to get faster at dribbling. Emily C - Rm4 Yr 5/6 results

Motupipi Pink Panthers 26 V Takaka Fast & Furious 6

Motupipi Breakers 36 V Central Sonics 6

Miniball was fantastic. The other team were gracious losers. I was nervous as it was my first game of miniball. I got more confident as the game went on because everyone shared the ball. Jack - Rm1 We won 36—6. I had two shots at goal and I got one in. I mainly passed the ball when I got it because I was nervous about dribbling. Bo - Rm1
