Thames Gymsports Festival

On Thursday the 29th of June, a group of students years 4-8 from Ngatea Primary School attended the Thames Gymsport festival. There were three levels of difficulty for the Gymnastics Competition: Twisters (Hard), Flyers (Medium) and Springers (Beginners). Our school did very well in the gymnastics area of the competition with some students placing in the top six for their age and level of difficulty. Two groups of year 7&8 students entered into the cheerleading category. The two groups were called the NPS Minnies and the NPS All Stars. Both of the groups placed in the top two. The NPS Minnies came first and the NPS All Stars came second. Both groups have qualified to go to the Gym Sport Regionals held in Hamilton in August. Throughout the the day many of the NPS students were spotted showing a great attitude and sportsmanship and received a spot prize for this. We all thought it was an amazing experience and was a great opportunity to try something new and exciting!

Super Tayla Character description

Super Tayla has hair as golden as the sun. Her green eyes sparkle like green stone. Her fiery red cape waves in the air like it is saying hello. Her yellow boots are as yellow as a sunflower on a summer's day. She has a red t-shirt that reflects of the ocean as she flys over. And her blue pants dazzle through the night. Her favourite food is sushi and drink is sparkling lemonade, and last but not least she loves to look naughty villains in jail.

Current events:Fonterra stands down heavy truckies

Fonterra has had to stand down all their truck drivers above a certain weight.

 The company learned from a question that truck seats are only safe for people who way under 150 kilograms.
Fonterra had to stand down about 50 people.

Fonterra:

Is a New Zealand multinational dairy co-operative 

Stand down: 

Withdraw or resign from a position. 

My opinion: I think this really sucks for the truck drivers because they have to lose weight just so they can go back to doing their job, but I think it is better for Fonterra to do this so that their drivers safety isn't at risk.
