Technology Challenge

The topic we are studying at the moment is Space. Our homework challenge for the last month has been to work with our parents to make either a spacecraft, a space station, a satellite, or a model of our solar system. The children did an amazing job and have produced some fantastic creations as can be seen in the photos below.

Cross Country

On 23 August, the Milton Area Schools Cross Country was held at Tokoiti School. The track was a 2km course around their school field and some neighbouring paddocks. The junior children had a much smaller track of about half a kilometre. It was a nice sunny day and the grounds weren’t muddy at all. The Years 3, 4, 5, and 6’s who finished in the first five of their races got to go down to the South Otago champs in Clinton on 23 August. After their race, the children were very puffed and hot with all the effort they put in. There were heaps of parents and family members there to watch their children. Every child should be very proud of themselves for competing so well and congratulations to those who qualified for the South Otago champs.
