Hansi`s Athletics Day

On the 14th of November the middles and seniors had their annual Athletics day!It is when the best of the best compete in these 4 events,High jump,Long jump,Shot put and Discus.But not everybody competes in the field events.People who did not make it to the field events had just as much fun at tabloids.Tabloids is when you get gathered in to teams and play games.As well as showing respect and working in a team.My team earned a lot of points and they were very encouraging.And finally,the last event, relays.To finish things off we have relays.Relays is when run against other people.Everybody had done so well but last of all for athletics day is...THE CLASS RELAYS!This one of the most greatest events,its when class students race each other.And the class that won was Rm12!Well done Rm12!Hopefully we can have another Athletics day next week!

Grasshopper Tennis

Over the past few weeks we have been doing a tennis progamme. It is called Grasshopper Tennis and it has been really fun.We learn new skills and games you could play in tennis. It has been really enjoyable but you find it frustrating when you lose games.But its worth it as you are leaning new skills.I really like tennis and almost every lunch time we play tennis.Tennis is also a good way to keep fit too.

Senior Syndicate Festival Choir

Over the last 3 terms the senior choir have been practising for the big night. They performed in Auckland wonderful Town Hall! The Town Hall is famous for it's amount of seat as well as the huge pipe organ. We sang over 10 songs, it was hard work but we managed to do it!
A Sunnybrae ex pupil Ray Ong played the violin in front of the audience. He got a scholarship of 1,000 dollars to pay for lessons and equipment. All of the girls from room 11 are in choir.
Over all the senior coir did really well and was extremely magnificent.
Oh we forgot to say that Mrs Blair and Mrs Stewart were the Rayletts.
Thanks for all you did choir trainers.

Mini Olympics

Sunnybrae school has been keeping the Olympic spirit alive by having their own Mini Olympics.

Everyone had lots of fun doing track events, basketball, hockey, javelin and shot put in a bucket.
From 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm Sunnybrae school was taking part in our very own Olympics.
We had an oath read out by Dominique Cantin from Room 11, we had the flame carried around the senior court by Fine Inise. The boys Kapahaka group came out to the front and started to help sing the national anthem with the other 20 countries.
The teams marched around the senior court in time with the marching music. Then it was time to go to our chosen activities. Four teams went to one of the chosen activities.
Some seniors helped with the activities and got quite good at explaining how to play.
The teachers took photos throughout the whole afternoon.
At the end of the day three countries were selected to get bronze, silver or gold certificates. Bronze went to Korea, silver went to Australia and gold went to India.
Also the juniors had their own Olympics.
