Triathlon

-
Last Friday our whole school took part in a triathlon. Everyone was amazing. From Year 0 to Year 6s, everyone swam, cycled and ran as fast as they could around the courses set out around the school.
The Year 5s and 6s had to swim 4 lengths of the school pool - that was about 50 metres, then had to race up and grab their helmet, find a suitable bike, go out the school gate, around the roundabout, back in and around the school field then do it all again before going on a run around the back of the school. The run finished on the netball court with some fruit and a milk.
We then had some deliciously healthy hamburgers for lunch and amazing baking done by parents as a fundraiser for the Junior School Zoo Trip.
What a day!  The Year 5s and 6s were so good at helping pack up and clean up that they had a free swim at the end of the day!

    Kia ora team Moana,
    Great to see the photos of you all participating in your school triathlon. I used to do triathlons and loved training in all 3. I still do lots of running but not so much biking or swimming. Sam Warriner who was NZ's number 1 triathlete many years ago was a friend of mine and I got to go to the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and see her win a silver medal! It was pretty incredible! I wonder if someone from Team Moana will go to the Commonwealth or Olympic games one day representing New Zealand.

    Hello Team Moana
    What great photos of the triathlon. I was telling my daughter Emma that we had a triathlon at school last week. She was very interested as she used to be a good triathlon sportsperson. She represented NZ when she was 18 years old and now she works for Triathlon Australia. Next year she is going to be the team manager for the Australian Triathlon team at the Commonwealth Games being held on the Gold Coast.

Dubai - SriLanka

Hi everyone, I finally figured out how to access the class Blog so here is my update. I wonder what the temperature is in NZ? It has been 37 most days here, one day even got up to 40🌞 We have been swimming in the Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal - can you find them on the map? Sri Lanka was a very different place to visit, definitely not a rich country like Dubai, there are a lot of poorer areas, but it has beautiful beaches and the National Parks are great. It is really really sad to see all the forests being cut down though, there have been 35 people killed by elephants already this year as the elephants come down to the people's farms looking for food. There are so many people in Sri Lanka, over 19 million, and their country is smaller than NZ. This made driving on the roads very interesting, there are cars, buses, tuk tuks, motorbikes and bicycles going in all directions. It was like being in a car rally every day! One day we were stopped by a policeman ...

Week 7 Term 1 Cricket Coaching

-
Kia ora 'Yippee!" we all yelled. It was a lovely sunny day at Ohaeawai School and we were all going out onto the field to have lessons in how to play cricket from a couple of professional coaches. They taught us all the basic skills first and then they taught a variation on the traditional game of cricket. This variation makes the game quicker and more exciting for children. We all loved it. Here is a video to show you how it works.

Zoofari

Kia ora This week all of the Moana kids who hadn't been on a zoofari trip to Auckland Zoo before, got to participate in one. A zoofari is an overnight trip to Auckland Zoo where you get to sleep in the old elephant house where the elephants Burma and Kashin used to live. You get two guided walks around the zoo, one in daylight and one in the dark accompanied by zoo keepers who know all about the zoo and its animals. You also get some free time to roam the zoo with your teachers and the parents who volunteered to come along. On top of this you get a barbecue dinner and breakfast. Thanks to the generosity of Auckland Zoo, Ritchie's Bus Company and The Warehouse, all of this comes absolutely free! The only cost per kid is $10 to buy lunch and morning tea. So, 45 of us plus Mrs Henderson, Mrs Brajkovich, Mr Solly, Mrs Edge, Mr Palmer and Mrs Chamberlain zoomed down to the big city. We saw so many amazing animals and the whole trip was just marvellous. One of the highlights was...
