We went to the Hop!
Here we are at the Hop!
Wednesday 20 March and yes, the whole school went to the Waihi Warm Up party for the Beach Hop. We were the only school to perform and by far the best! Mrs Roycroft and Mrs Hose, Whaea Kate, Mrs Davis and even Mr Wells, danced and sang along with us each day as we practised our rock'n roll songs: "Let's go to the Hop", "Blue Suede Shoes" and "Green Door".
We were all very excited, and a little bit nervous as we arrived at the Memorial hall and saw a large crowd gathering to watch us. But then the music started and we were on a roll! Everyone sang, lots of us danced and some played the percussion.
The audience joined in and clapped and clapped when we were finished.
The Lazy Days of Summer!
Friday 8 March. We spent almost all day at Sapphire Springs. Swimming, playing cricket and picnicking.
Lots of families came and shared the day with us. It was awesome. Why can't every school day be that much fun!
The last few weeks have been strenuous for Waimata children; each morning they have been out training for the school triathlon and in the afternoons... why, they have been out training for the swimming sports!
The school triathlon was well supported by the school community (and the swimming sports were a bit of a hit too). We sent seven students through to the Waihi Cluster Swimming interschool event and four of them made it into the top three in the finals and may go through to represent Waihi in the North cluster event.
Go Waimata!
