Badminton at Edgewater College

On Friday the 9th May we had our first lesson at Badminton, in the Edgewater College gym.  Three classes attended. Two Middle School classes and one Senior one.
It was very tricky for many of the first-timers as the shuttle refused to be hit by the racquet.  How annoying.  After many attempts most people had some success.  This is the first time that we have teamed up with the Seniors and we were very grateful for their assistance and coaching.  They did good.  Their teacher, Kevin was very patient and tolerant of the newbies.  Thanks Kevin.
There were a few funny incidents that made everyone laugh and by the end of the lesson things were looking up.  Room 2 look forward to playing again this Friday morning and we are sure to improve quickly now that we know what to do.

Fun at Athletics Day

We had such a fun time at the Special Olympics Athletics day and we received lots of ribbons. Troy won  a Gold ribbon for the 100 metre run and most of the students won a ribbon for other activities.  Before the athletics began we all went down to the Arena where everyone danced to their favourite songs and got to catch up with friends that they hadn't seen for a long time.  The atmosphere was filled with song, dance and laughter and it was very special.  It was unfortunate that Dillion was absent on that day as he had a very good chance of claiming a few top prizes with his running and throwing skills.
I was very proud of my students for the way that they behaved on the day and for their participation.

The Easter Holidays by Shanann

In the Easter break Mum, Dad, Liam and I went to Matauri Bay for a holiday.  We have been going there for many years now.   We went in the Campervan and Dad took the boat.  He drove the boat fast and the water came up all over the motor.  We had lots of BBQ’s and I really loved swimming in the ‘HUGE AS’ waves.

In the 2^nd week I was at Oasis doing some fun things.
