Rip Rugby Tournament

 We are lucky enough have the opportunity to enter a year 5/6 Rip Rugby tournament that is held in Greymouth each Friday throughout June.  The children who have entered are Adarsh, Tom N, Logan, Deacon, Taylor-Rose, Sophie, Cohen and AJ.  They had their first 2 games on Friday and had so much fun.  I would like to say a massive thank you to Julie the TA who is supporting this team and to all the parent helpers who are helping to transport the children into Greymouth.

Awahono Verses The Crusaders!

 We finished Term 1 with the best treat..The Canterbury Crusaders came to school to do some rugby skills with us.  This was such a cool way to end the term.  We did some passing drills, played some short games and then finished with getting a flag each and being able to get them signed.  

Mrs Bailey was even really cheeky and got them to read her book!

Rip Rugby

So today we all learnt something new.....there is another type of Ripper Rugby but just called Rip Rugby.  The difference between Rip Rugby and Ripper Rugby is in Rip Rugby they introduce scrums and line outs.  Once again Sport West Coast have provided us with a fantastic opportunity to develop our resilient kids even further and give them another set of skills.  It was boys verse girls and this made for great entertainment. 

Getting Some Sport Happening!

It was so wonderful this week to be able to get back out and have a fantastic game of Ripper Rugby.  Thanks to Sport West Coast for providing some wonderful training.
