A big group of Tahuna Students set off on an adventure to raft the Taieri this week. Conditions were testing but we had a lot of fun and had an awesome outdoor experience.

Term 4 has begun very well with everyone settling back into school routines after the holiday break. It is a busy term as there are many learning activities happening in and out of the school. Our focus as always will be on students giving their very best to achieve to the best of their ability no matter what the learning context.

As you will be aware there is impending strike/industrial action scheduled for a full day on Thursday 15th November.

Lots of fun with athletes getting the chance to show their wares! The weather played ball and we were able to get our annual athletics day completed.

Tahuna art work was on display during the Otago Youth Art Exhibition held upstairs in the Dunedin Railway Station.

Enjoy viewing action shots of our Tahuna Futsal teams.

Enjoy looking at the year 7 Pupils creating their illusion art work.

Last Friday a representative group of Room 20 wowed the school with their assembly performance.

Last week, Room 9 were lucky enough to head out to Long Beach for their second rock climbing experience! We had beautiful weather and such a fun day!

Success for 7 Tahuna students making Otago Touch teams

Outdoor Education in our Amazing Dunedin Environment.

Last week, Room 9 created marble runs out of recycled materials. There were some amazing designs and creations.

Last Friday a group of kids came to Rm 6 for a story but who was going to read this story? Rm6 themselves! Each kid from Rm6 got put into 4 groups and each had to bring a kids picture book that they read as a child. When the 4 kids aged between 2 and 4 years old came in one being Mrs. Stuart's daughter they all split up and one kid went into each group. As the kids sat down all groups made themselves comfortable and introduced the kids to Rm6’s kids. While we read them the books that we brought from home we got them a whiteboard and pen to draw pictures. Everyone was having fun but most of the little kids were a bit shy but that's ok because they are little kids and not used to being in a room with people they have never seen before. When they left everyone was disappointed to see their cute faces leave. It was good to have these kids come into our class as it helped us decide what our target audience for our own picture books would be. Now its our turn to create our own picture books. By Ollie.B

A busy term ahead for the year 7's.

Tyler Metua and Jorja Gibbons both beat very strong fields to win their respective races on athletics day. We are hoping they do well at South Zones and Otago Champs.

In term 3, room 16 has been learning about the water cycle as part of our inquiry on climate change.

All students were fantastic and a real credit to their families. Big thank you to Miss Cooper, Mr Lousley, Mr Scoles and Mr Muir for their help in making it such a a great way to finish term three.
