Turbo Touch

Shane from Touch Canterbury will be working with Room 27 over the next few weeks. He's teaching us all about the game of Touch Rugby and how to play an adapted form of the game, Turbo Touch.


Have a look at some of the footage!

The Canterbury Symphony Orchestra

On Wednesday Tony and three other musicians from the Canterbury Symphony Orchestra came to school to play for all of the Year 4 to 6 students in the hall. They played a variety of tunes for us and told us a wee bit about the history of the flute piccolo, viola, violin and harm.

Have a listen!

Certificates!

Congratulations to Anna, Roisin, Katie, Isabella and Sammi who have been 'on fire' this last week and earned a funky Habits of Mind certificate.

Cycle Safety

Room 27 have been out on their cycles again this morning with Kristina and the Cycle Safety team from the Christchurch City Council.
