Jandal day

On Thursday the 1st of December Vardon School had their jandal day where everyone was meant to wear the jandals at lunch time we had 2 games, jandal throw and 3 legged race.

For the jandal throw you are only able to play if you were wearing jandals. You have to throw one of your jandals and see how far you got. The top Senior and the top middle compete against each other and the winner got a jandal day tattoo or a balloon.

For the three legged race you had to have your jandals on and you got into groups of 2. One person put their leg in the three legged band then the other person put their leg into the other side of the three legged band. When the person running the game says go you start walking or running to the finish. The first pair to get there and back wins and gets a balloon or a jandal day tattoo.

Some of the classes did some jandal day art work room 12 made some jandals they are so cool and fun to make.

Learn-a-thon

On Friday last week we did the learn-a-thon. The seniors had to do 50 questions, the middles had to do 50 questions as well and the juniors had to do 20 questions.
In room12 everyone did really well. There was 2 people that got 50/50 and that was Jaime and Justice but everyone else tried really hard and did really well.

Here is a sneak peek on some questions that the seniors did...

Question: Which NZ cricketer recently conquered MT Everest?
Answer: Adam Parore

Question: What group of people built the sphinx?
Answer: the Egyptians

So congratulations to all those children that tried their best in the learn-a-thon!
