We won!! Go Team NZ!!

Well, what an exciting start to the day!!  Team NZ raced in the final and won the America's cup!! Wahooo!!  Needless to say there were a few proud and excited teachers and children too!  It seems many of us were up very early this morning to watch the big finale, we thought we might even catch a glimpse of our Teacher Chris in the crowd celebrating.  We have been following the races and articles from the paper right from the very beginning, what a build up!

With teacher Claire we made a replica of the cup today, decorating it with silver paint, glitter and silver collage.  Once finished and dry, we had a group photo around the cup to celebrate the win!! Such a proud moment.

"Hey Claire, look it's the Americup" says Ethan

Well done Team NZ, we are very proud!

Some comments from our children this morning:

Ethan:  "The red boat won, the NZ boat and when it won we got an America cup.  We got up early, my dad likes it.

Esmond: "NZ is the fastest and USA is the slowest"
