Steamers come to St Joseph's

Today we had a visit from 3 of the Bay of Plenty Steamers. They came to visit us to bring the message of ‘Step Up’ - you can stop bullying at your school.    

The ‘Step Up’ message is about: 

• Stand Up         Do something.  Don’t just watch.

• Team Up          Work together. Support the bullied.

• Speak Up         Say something. Tell someone.

Room 5 challenges their parents at Golden Time

For our last Golden Time in Term 2 we decided to challenge the Parents of Room 5 to a dodgeball game followed by a quiz. A couple of the teams managed to beat the parents quiz team however the parents (plus a few Room 3 boys) did beat us in dodgeball. We had so much fun and hope to have a rematch soon.

On Thursday 2nd July Room 5 went to Dialled in Tauranga because we had all read 100 books each in Term 2. Dialled is an indoor trampoline park.
