Richmond School celebrated NZ Book Month by holding a Book Character Day. Children were encouraged to bring their favourite book to school and dress as a character from that book. The staff dressed as a character from 'A Classic Treasury of Nursery Songs and Rhyme.' Can you guess who our characters are?

Top School - Medium from jaxdonald on Vimeo.

The Top Team Challenge involves a number of team-based activities and challenges modelled on the traditional Top Town competition that first aired on New Zealand television in 1976. 


Top Team games test teamwork, initiative, problem solving and communication skills. Students will be teamed up to compete against one another in a circuit of activity and obstacle stations. Sport Canterbury has designed Top Team Challenge activities specifically to cater to the needs of sporty as well as non-sporty students. This takes away the ‘intimidation’ factor, and builds confidence amongst non-participating youth to take part in future events, as well as being loads of fun. 


On Wednesday 20 March our school participated in the Top Team Schools Challenge alongside neighbouring school - Seabrook McKenzie School.

We had heaps of fun!!

As part of our R.I.S.E learning this year our junior children have been investigating 'Who they are, What they have and How they fit.

They are learning to recognise what they are good at and things they like. When we put these two together we hope to find how we fit in our family, school and wider community and how we can contribute by being Active Citizens. 

"First we wrote about all the things we like and enjoy doing.
They we drew the pictures.
We practiced reading our stories aloud with a buddy then we had turns   reporting these in front of the camera. Each buddy had a turn at being the reporter and then the camera person. 
We used our iPads to take pictures of our art work and sent these by email to our teacher.
Our teacher put it together using iMovie and green screen technology."
