2015 Rippa Rugby Tournament

On Thursday the 27th of August 2015 some students in Years 3-8 from Carterton School, went to Carrington Park to play rippa rugby against other schools in a tournament.

Firstly the other school(South End and Saint Marys) met us at Carrington park. Then we went straight to our 1st game. When we were at the first game the refs explained the rules of rippa. Through out the day we played 6 games in total.

During the breaks we could visit the shop - which was selling ice blocks, lollipops and chocolate or we could cheer on other team or rest ready for the next game.

After the 6th game we had the finals. Carterton 2 (Y7-8) played Saint Mary's 1. Carterton 1 (Y5-6) played South End 1. Carterton 1(Y3-4) played South End 2. Carterton won all of the finals.

The tournament was a fun day, and we look forward to all play it again next year.

Fensham Reserve

Yesterday I went to fensham Reserve bush walk. I love bush walking.  
First I drove in Teacher Rebecca's car. When I got there I open the gate and walked up the stairs to the trees.

Outing Tomorrow

For tomorrows outing:
We will be meeting in Room 12 after the roll at 9:05 and then leaving school at 9:15 on the bus.
From 9:30 until 10:30 Peter Leighton the Treatment Plant Operator will be showing the students through the plant and explain how it all works. Then they will have morning tea.
The planting at Daleton Wetlands will happen at 11:00 until 12:00.  Staff from Premier Beehive will be working, alongside students, digging the holes.  
At the end of the planting the students will have a sausage sizzle and drink.
Around 12:30 (so during lunchtime) they will return to School to their classrooms.
We will wear mufti clothes on this day as the planting will involve getting dirty. Please send along a change of clothes in their bag in case they get really dirty and need to change.
Gum-boots and a jacket are recommended.
Students will also need their morning tea and a water bottle.  

If there are any questions please email me.
