Kia ora, Another great fortnight of Summer sports activities. Interschool competitions are going well. Futsal, Tee-ball and Touch teams are all improving their skill level and there have been many close games played. 

The A Girls Cricket team is looking likely that they will make playoffs, and the B team had a very close game against Paparoa Street A. Please make sure if you child is travelling that you have paid their bus money. 

Students staying at school have enjoyed learning new softball skills and last Friday Canterbury Bowls challenged the students with their bowling and aiming at hoops. In two weeks time, we will travel to Fendalton Bowling Club for some games. 

We are in the final week of CBHS Sports coaching for Year 4 and 6. 

Fendalton Touch Teams played their final night of competition on Tuesday night, we had three teams playing off for third and fourth. Please can all Touch tops be returned by the end of next week either to the office or the Village. A big thank you to the parents who organised these teams every week. 

Miniball has started for Years 3 and 4. The games have been very exciting. We have three very full teams entered, a great opportunity for children to develop their fitness and ball skills. 

Year 5 and 6 Basketball teams have been entered - we are looking for a few more Year 5 and 6 girls to play on Thursdays in Terms 2 and 3. If your daughter is interested fill out the form.

Notices about Winter Sport have been emailed out to parents in Year 5 and 6. Please read your email and if you are able to help for any weeks - either for a travelling team or a Fendalton School based team fill out the google doc.
Rugby Fun Day notices have gone home via email for Years 4,5 and 6. This fun event is being held on May 1st and a great opportunity for playing rugby in a fun environment.

 
On Thursday 10 Year 6 students went to a Physical Activity Leadership Day where they learnt skills to coach and invent games. They were challenged to lead Year 7 and 8 students and come up with some ideas about the qualities of leadership. The PAL leaders will use their skills to set up some lunchtime activity programmes alongside Year 6 Sports Leaders. 

We have had 25 children represent Fendalton at the West Zones swimming Sports today. Results will follow in the next newsletter.

 Our next major event is the School Cross Country.
Good luck to the 14 Fendalton School Duathletes who will be competing at the Primary Sports Canterbury Duathlon on the 23rd March.

Please support one of our wonderful coaches 

Angie Petty has been such an inspiration to many of our Fendalton students and it has been good watching her progress this year as she aims for the Olympics. A Quiz night has been organised for Angie Petty on Thursday 2 April at Sixty6 on Peterborough. It would be great if we can get some teams together. Amy De Wit is happy to take charge of making up teams. It would be fantastic if we can support Angie. Make up a team or join in for this fun event.
