Top House - Tug of War
In the Tug of War you start with the tassles of the rope over the mark on the ground.
You tug until one of the green marks on the rope passes over the mark.
Top House - Wheelbarrow Skills
 Mr Allerston provided another obstacle for this race. He had lots of fun squirting people on the legs. He had fun! |
 Watch out Jasper! Here he comes. |
Way to go. Georgia!
Top House - Gumboot Walk
For this activity you had to fill the gumboot with water, put it on, walk to the buckets at the end of the course, take the gumboot off and empty the water into the bucket.
 |
| Then you had to run all of the way back. |
 |
| Best foot forward! |

Reports.
Well that's it for 2011 for the children. Reports were handed out after the final school assembly. The children can now have a well earned holiday. But please, parents, help them retain what they have learned this year.
Give them plenty of opportunities to read. The Twizel Community Library is open for most days except for Sunday and statutory holidays. Help your child choose books to read, and choose some books to read to them. A child is never too old to be read to. You can also buy great magazines written for their age group and these have lots of puzzles and activities they can do.
Let them write. Write Christmas cards to friends and relatives. Write thank you cards or letters. Buy a book to use as a diary and write the about events they do. Take photographs and put these in the diary. A hard covered notebook and colouring in pencils or felts will help make this an enjoyable task. Buy some stickers that they can use in their diary to make it attractive. Give them a spelling word or two each week to learn.
Don't forget Maths. Practice counting objects. If travelling in a car, ask them to count cars, trucks, red cars and blue cars. Work on money skills. Help them budget their pocket money. Talk about values of coins. Which coin is worth the most? What coin buys the most? Ask them simple problems and help them work out the answer.
eg: I have three chocolate Santa's and I eat one. How many have I got left?
eg: There are six presents for you under the Christmas tree. You open one.
How many have you got left to open?
