Cross Country

A big well done to all of our Middle School Cross Country competitors on their run today! The sun was shining but the wind was certainly blowing and this made for some difficult running conditions.

From our competitors, we saw grit, we saw determination, we saw sweat, we saw tears and we saw hard work paying off!

Here are the results from today;

Year 3 Girls
1st - Charlie May
2nd - Medow-Rose
Joint 3rd - Coco and Lily
5th - Kenzie
6th - Kelly

Year 3 Boys
1st - Arthur
2nd - Zachariah
3rd - Zac W
Joint 4th - Tadhg and Theo

Year 4 Girls
Joint 1st - Lauren and Crystal
Joint 3rd - Hannah and Indie T
5th - Erin

Year 4 Boys
1st - Tighe
2nd - Ranginui
3rd - Jackson
4th - Luke
Joint 5th - Jai and Dean

A special mention to the runners pictured above. After some confusion with the course instructions on the first race of the event, they opted to run it a second time. What an incredible effort, Year 3 girls!

iWay Scooter Trip

A massive THANK YOU to all parents, caregivers, teachers and iWay instructors who have worked with our Clive Kids and helped them to become safer when riding their scooters. We had a great trip today, travelling by bus then by scooter from Clive, through Hastings then back to Clive. The highlight was definitely finishing at the Skate Park, having a bit of fun and enjoying a quick demo session from Alex Madsen who recently placed second in the World Roller Games in Barcelona.

In the words of our students, teachers and parents;

We have been learning about scooter safety and we took a trip to the skate park in Hastings - Maxi

We got to meet Alex Madsen who is a World Champion. She showed us the 'buttercup' which is her favourite trick to perform - Hannah

We all love iWay - Tadhg

Clive Kids were the best behaved students at the skate park and we are all so proud of the way they represent Clive School out in public - Nikki Palamountain

The Middle School students were so polite and I have loved spending my morning helping out - Lauren Bradbury

Skills in Schools - Volleyball

This week we have the team from 'Skills in Schools' working with our learners to develop their volleyball skills. During the first session today, we had a go at the overhand serve and the spike serve. We look forward to further developing our knowledge of this sport and our techniques as the week progresses.

Reading Hive

In the Reading Hive each week, the Middle School students complete a number of tasks. One of the tasks is known as the Crafty Station. At this station, the children read or watch their instructions and use their understanding of these to complete the task. This week, they are painting Pet Rocks.

Check out some of the crafty creations below;
