Uncle Crumble's Mad Machine

On Tuesday September 27 the Unstoppables and Future Force performed their production - UNCLE CRUMBLE's MAD MACHINE. 

We did a dress rehearsal performance in the morning for the Creative Critters, and in the evening we did a performance for friends, family and the community.  It was a huge success.

A huge thanks to all those who were involved in producing this awesome event!

Speech competition

In Week Six we held the Senior Syndicate Speech Competition.  It was a fantastic evening of speaking flair!  


Our Year Six winner was Sirdaris, second was Cameron, and third was Tamara.  Our Year Five winner was Briarna, second place was Krystal-Anne and third place was Stephen.  


Everybody spoke incredibly well!  


Congratulations to everyone who had the confidence to take part!

See you there!

Ross Kinnard's visit

On Tuesday 7 September Ross Kinnard came to visit our school to talk about working as an illustrator.  In the first block he talked to the Unstoppables and Future Force, and in the second block he spoke with the Creative Critters.  In the afternoon he worked with some of our best artists in a special workshop.  

Ross can draw very fast and showed a lot of tricks to make faces show different emotions.  He made funny drawings of Mr Ballantyne (with a tutu) and Mrs Walker (as a chicken).  

When the All Blacks came to town!

Thomas with Richard Kahui

Could this man win us the RWC?

On Friday 2 September, three All Blacks: Dan Carter, Richard Kahui and Isaia Toeava came to Te Puke.  30 lucky students from Te Puke Primary met them down at Jubilee Park with other members of the public.

Daniel Carter reffed our rugby team in ripper rugby matches, and heaps of autographs were given out.

The most talked about event when the children returned, however, was Linda who managed a peck on Richard Kahui's cheek!

Miss Tane was very excited to meet the All Black's too!
