'The Cup' Comes to School

Last year we were proud when the New Zealand All Blacks won the Rugby World Cup.  

Read our post about the competition here.

Yesterday, the Rugby World Cup Roadshow came to our school.

A few people in the school won the chance to hold the cup by answering questions. 

They had to wear gloves because only members of the winning teams can actually touch the cup!

We all got to have a class photo taken with the cup.

We think we are all champions!

What does it mean to be a champion?

Have you ever been a champion?

What if ...... ?

The World Cup Rugby competition is Starting

For the next six weeks the Rugby World Cup competition will be happening in New Zealand.

The teams have arrived, with the opening ceremony on Friday 9 September. 

Rugby is one of our favourite sports and our national team is called the All Blacks.

If you don't know about the game of rugby, you can find out more here.

Over the next few weeks the haka will be performed many times.

In Topic with Mrs Webb this term 

we have used the Rugby World Cup as a catalyst for thinking about 'Heroes and Role-Models'.

What qualities would a good role-model need?

For some more information and activities about the Rugby World Cup check out the links on our Topic Links page.

A Parcel from Miss Esnouf

We received a lovely surprise parcel in the mail from Miss Esnouf, who worked in B4 

during Term 1.

Now she lives back in Australia.
We love all the special treats. Thank you Miss Esnouf.

Before she left, Miss Esnouf tried to convert the B4 children from supporting the 
New Zealand All Blacks rugby team 
to supporting the 
Australian Wallabies rugby team.

Sorry Miss Esnouf, we don't think it worked!

We will be cheering for the All Blacks 
in the Rugby World Cup 
which is being held in New Zealand from 
September 9-October 23.
