Congratulations everyone! Which awards will we present next week?

After last week’s exciting results in the Weekly Housepoint race, this week proved to be just as exciting with only 4 points separating the top 3 places! Collectively, the Primary students amassed almost 800 housepoints and continue to achieve their potential, earning housepoints every week.. 

This week, the housepoints we awarded to each team was:

In 3rd place with 263 housepoints is Gaya!

In 2nd place with 264 housepoints is Sapi!

In 1st place with 267 housepoints is  Sulug!

Congratulations to the Sharks for their narrow win this week! How close will the race for first place be next week??

GO GAYA PANGOLINS!    GO SAPI SUNBEARS!        GO SULUG SHARKS

So many of you shared your explorations of our wonderful environment as part of Earth Day and I loved seeing you out and about on sunrise hikes, bike rides around the bay, beach walks and many more outdoor adventures. It was also wonderful to read your pledges to help make a change and I hope everyone continues to do their part to help make every day Earth Day. Good luck keeping the pledges you have made and let us know how you’re getting on! 

There is no Maths Challenge this week. The Monthly Maths Challenge will return next week with challenges set for May for Y1&2, Y3&4 and Y5&6.

This week’s fun challenge is a House Scavenger Hunt inspired by your mascots. If you’re in Gaya, search for items that start with P for Pangolins! For anyone in Sapi, you’re searching for items that start with B from Sun Bears! Sulug House will hunt for items that start with S for Sharks! What items will you find and how many different items can you share that start with your mascot initials?

Starting from this week, we’d love to have your completed challenges shared through this Google Form link:
