Rimu is back for 2021!

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Rimu Class Blog for 2021!!

Rimu has changed quite a bit since 2020. We have - 

18 new faces 

and 

3 familiar faces from last year. 

Can you spot our returning Year 8 Leaders??

Our first week has been full of learning the ropes in class and... swimming in our school pool!

Are the crazy? Nope, they just love to swim!

Friday was the last day for our lunchtime swims because the temperature of the pool has been slowly dropping over the past few weeks. These brave children got in for our final lunchtime swim. Apparently, it was "Freeeeeezing" but it was also super fun! 

Thanks, pool and summer for such a great session of swimming.
Thanks, Mr Robertson for letting us swim till the end of March. 

Year 4 - 8 Swimming Sports

After a false start on Monday (cold weather) yesterday came out a stunner. The pool was glistening, the sun was shining, parents were arriving and everyone was excited! 

Splash! They were away. Zone races, with a break of kickboard lengths in between. The competition was fierce, regardless and it was amazing to see the determination of so many children to get to the end. 

The length races (not for zones) was as exciting and the Year 4's couldn't wait to get into the water. Parents cheered and clapped and everyone was able to complete their race well. Kai pai everyone!

Finally the width races. These are our non-competitive/give-it-a-go races. But clearly a couple of Year 5 girls had missed that memo and were determined to be the winners of the non-competitive race. Good on ya girls! Maybe we'll see these lovelies in the length races next year.

Practising our GROWTH MINDSET this week in a few different ways. What was challenging? What did you learn?

Summer is here, the pool is open - YIPPEE!
