Room+20

Camp is just around the corner and we are all preparing for the experience of a lifetime with our year eight students. Just three weeks from today we will be setting out for Glen Murray in the sunny Waikato! A really fabulous opportunity to extend our learning beyond the classroom.

On Friday last week with the kind help of Lynette ( our best ever parent helper,) we visited the Manukau Botanical Gardens to look at how to create our own compost at Sylvia Park School. After actually making a working model we also made a worm farm with the real things. The Worms were slippery and Slimmy to touch but wonderful little workers.

Our next sporting event for the year seven and eights will be volleyball so watch this space for details and team members. Remember we love to see parents at our sports games. Come along and enjoy the fun.

Badminton is underway for the season with two teams 4 competing at the Otahuhu Club on a Tuesday after school. Please come along to cheer for them. So far they have won most of their games and four of the team members could actually win their section this year!
