Have you been getting behind NZ's athletes by singing this song?
Ana Hī!
(This waiata is dedicated to the athletes representing Aotearoa New Zealand at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games)
E oho e te motu
Let the nation hear
Ki te karanga a ō tātau toa e
The call of our champions
Kia puta ai te ihi, te wana ki te ao

Kia rangona atu ai te reo ki te ao
So our voice is heard around the globe
Kei reira kei a koutou te arohanui e
We are with you all the way
Aotearoa maranga mai!

A visit from an Olympic Gold Medalist
A Visit from Dick Joyce, a Double Olympic Gold Medalist.
On Friday the 5th August we had a special guest come and talk to us about winning two Olympic Gold medals. Hannah's poppa, Dick Joyce, shared with us what it was like to win Gold in rowing at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico and the 1972 Munich Games. Mr Joyce shared many stories about his Olympics journey with us. He brought in his oar for us to see, it looked very heavy.
He also very generously handed his medals out for us to all hold and look at. Thank you Mr Joyce for coming and talking to us about your Olympic achievements.
Leave a comment below with any further questions you'd like to ask Mr Joyce.
Here are some photos from Mr Joyce's visit.

Wet Weather - Term 2
We had a lot of rain fall today at Paremata School. There was so much rain that our school had to close. We had to put our shoes and socks in our bags and roll up trousers so we could walk through the water barefoot. Keep an eye out for some of writing about this wild weather. However, in the meantime take a look at how much water we had to get through to go home.

Welcome to Kōwhai
Welcome back to Paremata School for 2016. We hope that like us (Mrs McCarthy, Ms Kamphuis and Miss Milne) you have had a great holiday and are now ready for some fun learning.
During the holidays, Paremata School decided to make the names of our syndicates and classes more attractive. All teaching teams have been re-named after native trees. The Year 3 and 4 Syndicate will now be known as Kōwhai. We have kōwhai trees on our school grounds for children to view. The other school syndicates will now be known as follows:
Year 1&2 - Pohutakawa
Year 5&6 - Kauri
Year 7&8 - Kahikatea.
Here are the new Kōwhai class names. Room 9 is now Kārearea, Room 10 will be known as Kea. Room 11 is Kākāriki and Room 12 is now Kōkako.
Here are some images of our tree and birds:
