Our Final Hurrah for the Community - The Twilight Gala

Well the weather held off and the community came for our final goodbye. We had such a wonderful time meeting and greeting those who have been involved in the school for the many years that it has been opened. The children were a credit to their families and the school as they helped make the food, set up the cafe area and then gave their time to give out the popcorn, candy floss and ice blocks. I am deeply proud of everything that is Richmond. THANK YOU.

One Special Moment

As part of a Student Council Initiative our class rep - Tristan asked the children in Room 1 what they considered was a special moment this year at school. He asked us to think about all the activities we had been involved in and then to draw a picture relating one special moment. Here are the children's special moments:

Top Team

This term our focus is on Engage - Caring Citizens contribute by leading the way.

Last week Richmond School had the opportunity to engage and lead the way with other schools within our cluster in our Top Teams Competition. We welcomed teams from Linwood North, Shirley Primary and Seabrooke Mackenzie to our Top Teams Competition. Top Teams involves 10 different activities with teams of 6 from years 1-6. The aim of Top Teams was to participate in the activities, teamwork  and to have fun with our friends.

In this activity the children had to get all the puzzle pieces of New Zealand and their team mates from the green flag to the orange flag without touching the grass. Then, once they had got all their puzzle pieces to the orange flag, the children needed to make the puzzle. They got five points for making either island and twenty points for making the whole of New Zealand. The children did very well trying to remember what New Zealand looked like, most of the children were able to make the South Island. 

We then all had oranges and some ice blocks and our new friends went back to their own schools.

Congratulations everyone on a very engaging and fun afternoon.
