Rippa Rugby

Hi there everybody. Today the Year 3 and 4 children went to Petone Rec for a Rippa Rugby tournament.

We played 5 games: had 1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. It was lots of fun because it's a game that's not really about winning.

Luke said "I enjoyed taking part. - although some people had minor injuries."

Mika thought it was fun.

Ryan said, "We all had fun because we all got to get the ball. People passed it and we got to run a lot too."

"We has to run as fast as we could when someone passed the ball to us", said Sereana. "Next time we're going to have more girls in the team".

THANKS COACH LIAM - WE REALLY APPRECIATED YOUR COACHING EVERY LUNCHTIME!

Home Learning Challenge

Today we talked about our new St Francis Xavier Home Learning Challenge. We're working on this and want to share our ideas with you.
We were thinking about the GIVING CHALLENGE where we would do things to help other people. We could:

Have a 40 Hour Famine where we would go without technology for 40 hours

• Give some of your pocket money towards people in need


• Give up our favourite food for a week and give the money to Caritas


• Give to our family - prepare some meals or do some jobs
• Give up our time - go and visit a neighbour and help with some chores

What do you think?
