RIP, GRIP AND WHIP and EPRO8!
LYNMORE SCHOOL BRINGS HOME THE TROPHIES! FROM THE PRINCIPAL ...
We hope everyone has had a great week. Autumn is definitely here with the trees full of colour and the cooler temperatures.
Epro8: A huge congratulations to the students who participated in Epro8 last week. We had three teams that came 1st, 3rd and 5th. 1st place: Lynmore Funky Feijoas (Bruce, Nadia, Symi Stewart, Kaito) 3rd place: Lynmore Allstars (Georgia, Nathaniel, Taine, Lila) 5th place: Lynmore Jumping Jackfruit (Nathan, Josh, Cohen, Elsie) The Funky Feijoas and the Jumping Jackfruit will compete in the regional Epro8 semi-finals on May 27th.
The EPro8 Challenge is the inter-school science and engineering competition. Every year over 10,000 students from 800 schools throughout New Zealand take part. Students took part in a series of competitions and events designed to promote science and engineering. A thank you to Mr Martelli and the senior teachers who helped prepare the students for this event.
Whip, Grip, Rip: A huge congratulations to all those students who participated in the Whip, Grip and Rip mountain biking event on Tuesday. There were three races (A taster of mountain biking, Let me fly, and Legend Status). Only Legend Status took placings for students because the focus for the other two was participation. Legend Status results: Year 5 and 6 girls: 1st Georgia, 2nd Cate, 3rd Ceara Year 5 and 6 boys: 1st Matthew, 2nd Nathan, 3rd Lachlan
There was also a mixed relay team consisting of Matthew, Georgia and Nathan. They came first beating all the other primary and intermediate schools. Well done team! Thank you to Whaea Catherine, Whaea Cherie, Whaea Lisa, Mrs Barker, Mr Martelli and Mr Doyle for supporting our students on the day.
Mini Marathon Well done to the approximately 200 Lynmore students who participated in the Rotorua Mini Marathon last week. It was fantastic to see so many of our students getting out there and being active. Keep it up!
Walking to school reminder: Just a reminder we are supporting Rotorua Lakes Council with trialling two safe to travel walking routes to and from Lynmore School.

Success stories: If your children have been involved in any events outside of school please do let us know so that we can celebrate their success in the newsletter.
Finally, good luck to all our students who are participating in the many sports codes this weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend ahead.
