School Cross Country

TIS School Cross Country is on tomorrow Friday 1st of July. The traditional school course has had to be altered because of the heavy drainage work that has been going on down the Fraser St hill. Here is the map of the altered course for this year:
The course is still 3km but sadly due to the course being altered to remove an uphill and a downhill, no records will be recorded this year.
The rough starting times are:

9.00am Year 7 Girls
9.25am Year 7 Boys
9.50am Year 8 Girls
10.15am Year 8 Boys
Students please bring running shoes to wear and a named water bottle. Parents and supporters are welcome to attend.
Remember that every Kahikatea student's placing is added to our House total and we are trying to achieve the LOWEST overall score for the day to win. 
GO KAHIKATEA!

OUR FLAG COLLECTION

Mrs Mills recently told us that she uses our blog when she is out and about teaching blogging to other classes at TIS, Greenpark and Tauranga Primary.

The weekly bloggers have been doing a great job posting interesting posts. The interviews have been a popular way of getting the voice of our class members.

Well, if you close-up on the revolving globe, you will see lots of green dots from lots of different countries around the world - meaning that we now have an international audience!

I have now installed the flags widget so that we can start our own flag collection. Whenever someone in another country visits our blog, we get their flag in our collection.

So far we have flags from NZ, England and another country?? with a red flag and a blue and white section at the top left (200 points for whoever is first to come tell me what country's flag this is - with proof)

I sent an email to a friend in China with our blog link so that we might be able to get the flag of China. Do you know people in other countries you could email too?

Our goal is to get flags from 20 countries.
