Bat and Ball Tournament

Yesterday we had the weather smiling upon us and 4 teams of softballers went to the South Wairarapa Bat and Ball tournament. The students showed excellent Gladstone School community identity and enjoyed getting involved with the other schools in a fantastic sport.

Watching fish

How cool is this! Connor's Dad came in to school and showed us a live stream video of the Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish) eggs at their home hatching.

We also learned from Connor's Mum that Betta fish put bubbles of oxygen all around their eggs to support them while they are hatching. This was fascinating!
