Dear Robert Muldoon,

I am writing to you because we want you to stop the Springbok rugby tour.

I have been reading The Press and have seen and read about some brutal treatment of protesters in Auckland and Wellington, by the New Zealand Police force. I think that this is outrageous and needs to stop.

My second reason why I feel the tour should stop is that there is too much racism in South Africa. By playing rugby against them this shows that we support what they do. Maybe South Africa are too scared to play people of colour.

Therefore, we want you to stop the tour immediately. For the best of our country.

Yours sincerely.

Bobbier, Whale and Alexis.

Your Success - Who is responsible?

This week is all about ‘not giving up’.  

We are almost at the end of term one and we thought this was the perfect time to chat about what to do when things get hard!

Watch the videos before answering the prompts. They may help develop your thinking around having the ‘courage to continue’.

At cheer I was doing round off tucks and i went so low that I scraped my head on the floor i learnt from that to go higher in my tucks.

The first time I did a back handspring I was so happy then I got my round off tuck I was so happy I had been practising for ages!

I have faced in cheer trying to learn to routines because last year I only have to learn one.

This means you have to practice you cant just wake up and you have it.

6. Why do we give up? What can we do to avoid giving up in the future? Who can help us?

We give up because we find things to hard, we could avoid giving up in the future by thinking more positively and we could look up Olympians because they never give up.

If you keep doing easy things your never progress.
