 Heading to the end of 2022...

In the last few weeks, Te Kinga students have been very busy with camp, the Te Kinga Formal and a visit from Harold (Life Education). 

Our camp was an overnight at Nelson Creek. Although the weather could have been better, we still had a lot of fun!

Our formal was a real highlight for the year - check out our formal dances and very well-presented young people...










In Week 8 we had a visit from Harold/Life Education. Kelly helped us look into what is really in our food! Harold kept us entertained with lots of cheesy jokes!











Year 8 leavers lunch - here are four out of seven of our Year 8's waiting for what turned out to be a lovely lunch at Hotel Lake Brunner! Good luck for high school next year - we will miss you!

Weeks 4-5 in Te Kinga

 Week 4

Fun with Fractions!

In week 5 we had a special visitor to Te Kinga (Sarah) who challenged us with some fun problems involving fractions... look at the images below - if the the dark green rod is one half, then how many wholes make up the designs? 

















This is how we worked out the answers! 

Friday Night Gala! 

Most of our students took the technology challenge idea from class to the gala. It was a successful night despite the rain and everyone had a great time! 



Week 5

The String Quartet 

Last week our school was treated to a visit from a string quartet. We were all totally mesmerised by the beautiful and unique sounds of the violins, viola and cello. We learnt a great deal about this style of music and the musicians themselves. 



Back to Summer sports - check out the softball game action!

Success - but will it be caught?!
