Fantastic Fyffe Force learners
The team
What a special, momentous occasion when 13 very strong, enthusiastic Fyffe Force learners tramped to Mt Fyffe Hut on 1.04.2010. This tramp was chosen as Mt Fyffe is very symbolic to us as learners. The mountain, Mt Fyffe, is the basis of our journeys path and reaching the hut means we are well and truly on the way to succeed as learners and with adopting the values and skills one needs for life.
Thanks also to the parents and staff who supported and also met and set their own personal challenges.
The company, weather, environment and atmosphere was truly amazing leaving very special memories for us all.
Congratulations to you all.
As part of our immersion for Inquiry, Dave Lyons kindly gave up some of his valuable time today and taught us some moves and terms for surfing. Dave showed us how to paddle out, get our balance, stand up and how to fall safely with a wipeout. We had lots of fun practicing moves with him and had a huge pile of questions that he patiently answered. Now it is off to the beach…….I wonder if surfing is as easy on water as it is on land?
Yesterday Year 7 & 8 students from Seddon School dropped into view the attributes of our wonderful Fyffe Force Learners. We welcomed them in our six languages and sang a song before making friends and showing them around our beautiful school. In the afternoon the Seddon students returned to get involved in some forest school activities such as building strong shelters, making a musical instrument known as a kazoo and brainstorming development of the plantation. All of our wonderful Fyffe Force learners should be very proud of their friendly and inviting attitudes.
Last Friday Pukeko class visited Jimmy Armers beach for a fantastic morning of kayaking. The weather was wonderful and the sea beautifully calm so we were all able to get out on the water and practice skills that we had not been able to do in the pool. Many of the students are now able to paddle backwards, move forwards at speed in the direction they were wishing to head and stop safely. Thank you to all the parents that were involved in this wonderful opportunity!
The squadron leaders spent time sharing stories about the make-up of the Iroquois and expeditions they’ve been involved with while calling into school.
The students were totally in awe of the size and sounds the Iroquois makes.
We thank the team from Ohaka for calling in and hope to see them back real soon.
