We are a Travelwise School.

The Mayor Len Brown recently awarded us our Travelwise Board at a special assembly. Everyone enjoys his visits very much. Our kapahaka did a magnificent job and even had an article in the local newspaper complete with a gorgeous close up photo.
Keep up the walking, biking and scootering to school - even it is just from being dropped of at the corner of the street or about ten houses away.
Thanks must go to Tara, a school Mum, for sending me these photos.

Please send any photos to louise@bbps.school.nz
I would also appreciate any sports or trip photos but must have a sentence or paragraph to go with them - something easy for me to cut and paste into the blog would be great.

Blake makes us proud at the LeslieRugby Coaching Clinic

Congratulations to Bucklands Beach Primary School student Blake for being selected to receive a CrestClean Principal's Sponsorship for the LeslieRugby Coaching Clinics held on 22^nd April at St Peter’s College, Auckland.

Blake had a great day, and he participated very well, learning new skills from a team of experienced trainers.

Over the last couple of months CrestClean has sent more than 60 ‘rugby mad’ kids along to LeslieRugby Coaching Clinics that were held around New Zealand. As well as sponsoring the whole series, CrestClean provided scholarships for deserving junior rugby players to attend.

LeslieRugby coaching clinics focus on teaching core rugby skills and techniques to junior rugby players. The goal of the coaching clinics is to learn new and improve existing skills; and to see how to correctly practice skills and drills until they are mastered. Participants enjoy a fun and safe day of rugby action, and are each presented with a certificate, a T-Shirt, a ball and a photo of themselves in action on the day.

We think its great to encourage Kiwi kids to excel in sport, and so far the coaching clinics have attracted rave reviews from the kids and parents. Participating schools have also been very pleased to award the sponsorships to their keenest young rugby players.

You can view the latest photos and stories from the 2013 clinics at LeslieRugby’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/LeslieRugbyCoaching. ‘Like’ this page to be kept informed of future LeslieRugby events.

Dance lessons today.

Each class had a dance lesson with an instructor from 'Foot Steps Dance Company' - as you can see it was a big hit with Years 1 and 2 this morning. LJ.
