To find out what is happening, here is a link to our Beach Timetable 

Here is the link to info about our Marafun (Duathlon) We are raising money for Kidscan. 

Eleanor:

I loved swimming because I have not done it for so long in the sea. I also loved spending time with my friends and teachers. I loved every moment of the time we were at the beach.

Jan:

I loved building the village today. It started off as a small cluster of houses and soon inflated to massive size. It was fun watching it grow, and eventually get wasted by the sea.

Molly:

I used a growth mind set in swimming because I thought I wouldn't have fun but I gave it a go and had so much fun (it was my favourite part).
I used manaakitanga today at the beach with my friends when we made the sand castles.
My favourite part was swimming. I also liked the game, capture the flag .

Mitchell:

At the beach I loved sailing and playing in the water.

Pyrenees:

I loved swimming in the water, even though I thought that it was too cold to go in. But it wasn’t, it was great.

Hunter R:

I loved swimming because the water was really cold and when we did sailing I got to go on the rescue boat

Marafun 2018- supporting Kidscan

During our beach week(s), we will be doing a Marafun for Kidscan. It will take place on the Wednesday 12th of December. The Marafun is a fun duathlon. We are going to do a swim dash and run. We will have some secret fun events that everyone can join in with, so you don’t have to do the competitive part if you don’t want to. There are also going to be some spot prizes!

We are making a Give a Little page. You can donate to Kidscan. Here is the link to the Give a Little page:

Give a Little: Marafun

It will be really fun and we hope you can come and help us fundraise to help kids in need. Last year we raised $1,775.50 dollars and we hope we can do it again! Please donate.
