Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Murrays Bay Primary School is dedicated to giving our students innovative and creative opportunities to learn. We understand that we learn in many different ways and from many different people. During Term 3 our entire school will be participating in different passion projects for an entire week. Your child has chosen their passion and will participate in a week of learning and growing in their chosen area. This is a fantastic opportunity for different ages of students to work together and learn from each other, while possibly working with different teachers too!
 
Your child has chosen Gymnastics as their Passion Project and will participate in a 3 day, hands on learning experience from Tuesday, 31 August - Thursday, 2 September. This is a great opportunity for different students to work together and learn from each other while having fun!

Teachers involved:
Mrs Debbie Strydom and Mrs Rebecca Nisbett

Tuesday will be spent at Eventfinda in Wairau Valley. We will be having morning tea at school before travelling by bus, departing school at 10:30am.  The children will be doing a rotation of gymnastic activities during this time and then have lunch before returning to school by 2:30pm.

Wednesday will be spent at Eventfinda in Wairau Valley. We will be travelling by bus, departing school by 9:30am and returning by 12:30pm. The children will be doing a rotation of gymnastic activities during this time. In  the afternoon we will be in Waipapa watching replays of the 2020 Gymnastic Olympics, hearing from children who already do gymnastics as a sport and practising routines they have learnt at North Harbour Gymnastics instructors.

On Thursday students will stay at school. North Harbour Gymnastics coaches are coming  to work with students in the Waipapa (school hall).

We ask that all long hair is tied up and students wear their school sports uniform.
