Life Ed' 2012 and "Stop, Drop and Hold!"

Thanks to our resident computer expert Thomas for creating this for Room 10

On Thursday the 30th of August we had an earthquake drill, we had this drill so that we can be prepared for an earthquake in Tokoroa. The whole of New Zealand will be doing this drill. We had to drop onto the ground, get under our desk and hold onto them because if you didn’t hold on the desks would fall over. Remember if you find yourself in an earthquake drop cover hold, and don’t panic. If you do panic take deep breaths and try to avoid falling debris while you find cover.

Cross Country 2012



Last Thursday was the school cross country, Juniors had to run 3 laps of the course around the school. Everyone in Room 10 entered the Premier races. Porche was our best placed girl and got 3rd. Cameron just missed out on 3rd in the boys event and came 4th.
Well done to all those who got in the first 20 and to everyone else for 'giving it their best effort.'

Porche, Cameron and Timothy got to represent the school at the Waikato Intermediate Cross Country event in Hamilton on Tuesday 14 August. Laura made the team too but she chose to stay at school and take part in the New South Wales Maths Test.
