More Safe Cycling

Today we got to ride our bikes. We made hand signals to turn left, or right, or to stop. We wove in and out of cones. We learned to look over our shoulder to see what traffic is behind us. And we had a 'slow' race to practice balancing well on our bikes. Geneva won that!
Best of all we got to ride up and over a plank and then a ladder.

'What Now' comes to Reefton

We were very excited that the TV show 'What Now' came to Reefton today. Weren't Miss Jackson and Mrs Webb brave to take part in 'Pack your Pants'! Everyone wanted some gunge. Watch out for the programme on June 13.
Do you think we might learn how to make gunge in our science topic 'Things that Ooze, Slime and Harden'?
Can you think what ingredients we might need to use?

Our School Sign


The Reefton Area School sign shows you what the school is called. The logo shows the mountains and Inangahua river and a lamp-post. Reefton is the town of light. It had the first public electricity in the southern hemisphere.
By Courtney and Myah.

Classroom Reporters

This term the children are taking turns to report on events around the school.
Myah and Courtney are our first reporters. Let's see what they chose for their post.

Safe Cycling



This week Constable Terri talked to us about wearing our helmets every time we ride our bikes, even in our back yard.
She said, "You wouldn't put a computer on your bike without protecting it, so why put your brain on a bike without protecting it with a helmet."
She also reminded us to check every driveway if we are on the footpath.
Next week we will bring our bikes and practice safe cycling at school.
