Rippa Rugby
Due to the weather the Rippa Rugby is cancelled today.
Welcome to our school blog. We have information about our school and the things we do, and the learning that is happening in Hoiho, Kea, and Pukeko classes. We are a rural primary school a short drive from Hokitika, on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

We had a good start to Rippa. While we didn't score quite enough trys both teams worked really well together and played a great team game.
I can't wait to see how much you improve through the tournament.

Making the most of the cold...
It's not quite cold enough for ice hockey, but it is just right for FROST hockey!
A big thanks to Anna who has been a great kiwisport coach. Today is her last day with our school. A new coach will be starting in term three.

A perfect day for running!
What a great effort from all our students! I'm so impressed with your great efforts today.
I was also really impressed with our past students who were there and others from High School who cheered all the students on, ran the races, and ran with students to encourage them. You were great role models :)
A big thanks to all the parents who were able to join us and support the children.
I have posted some photos on Flikr so you can check them out. Hopefully I caught everyone at least once. If you have other photos you would like to add please send them to school and we can add them to the album.

What is Awesome about the West Coast?
Our learning challenge is to research, design, test, refine, and build a kinetic sculpture, powered by the rain. This sculpture needs to show one of the great things about the West Coast, or tell a story about the West Coast.
To help us research what makes the West Coast special could you please fill out our survey below.
It would be great if you can share the link with friends or family who have been to the Coast so we can get as many answers as possible. We will be closing the survey at the end of April.
Thanks from the Hoiho Class :)
