Highlights+from+Term+1

Term One was an action packed term, check out the photo's below of what Motueka got up to. (There are way too many photos to upload, instead I suggest you send a memory stick to school and I'll be happy to put photos from the term onto it for you.)

Over the term we learnt about Our Far South and in particular Antarctica. We had visits from Rhian Salmon a climate scientist; Mike, Jamie's Dad, who went to Antarctica as a field guide; Mike, Sophie's Uncle, who works as a cameraman for TVNZ and has visited Antarctica 17 times; Bernie Hall, Josh's friend, who is a poet and visited Antarctica under the Artists on Ice programme and best of all, we got to host the crew from the Spirit of Enderby on their return home.

The Year 6's went on camp to Waipra for four days. They had an absolute blast as you can see.



At the end of the term Motueka was very proud to have Kenshin awarded the Bronze Merit Badge. He is the first recipient from Motueka to earn a badge and at present is the youngest in the school to have such an honour. Well done Kenshin, we are all very proud of you!
