A World Beneath The Trees

Production

Who will win the pod?! Will the forest be restored or lost forever?

What is the future for our environment?

Will the pod open? What will the the gods say?

Based on the excellent movie Epic the Lincoln Primary School production - A World Beneath The Trees will transport you to a magical world of a micro city within a forest where the goodies crusade to save their environment and the baddies try to destroy the pod, and end the forest forever.

Syndicate 3s contribution to this great show will be a medley of dance from the fluid graceful movements seen in contemporary dance to the high action and drama of stomp which incorporates plastic drums and pipes.  The space between is filled with the high energy moves of jump jam which is sure to be enjoyed by you all.  As a syndicate we will tell you a story of survival and courage.

The production will be held in the primary school hall and take place on Tuesday 12th and Wednesday 13th of September. There will be a matinee and evening performance each night. Tickets are a gold coin and will be available for purchase soon.

Year ⅚ Canterbury Football tournament

On Thursday the 24th of August, the year 5.6 football A team entered the Canterbury football tournament. They first had to win the the zones tournament. Both the year 7/8 and 5/6 won their zone tournaments in Rolleston in term 2 qualifying them for the Canterbury tournaments. The year 5/6 tournament was held at English park where they played on small sized fields with artificial grass. The year ⅞ tournament was held at Hagley park. The games were played as five-a-side.

The Lincoln year 5/6 students arrived on a bus and started with a warm up. It wasn't long until the buzzer went off to sound the games. The children played 8 short games and every game they won was a big step further. After the seventh game they had won all of them and they were through to the finals. The finals were intense but the final score was two all. The corners that were conceded were counted up, but that was one all so the final result was a draw.

In the end they were super happy about their placing. They are now able to call themselves the best team in Canterbury!

Kapa haka performance

Kapa haka performance

On the 15th of August 2017 there was a cultural festival at  

Horncastle Arena involving schools from around Canterbury. Lincoln Primary’s kapa haka group participated in this event.  In their performance they sang Ma Te Kahukura & the haka ‘Maraka! Maraka!’

They did a great job on representing our school. The three main girls singing were very expressive and it must've taken heaps of courage to perform in front of a huge crowd!

Here is a link to the performance to see how amazing they were:

STRIKE STRUM AND BLOW FESTIVAL

                                  STRIKE STRUM AND BLOW FESTIVAL

Strike strum and blow was held at the horncastle arena. There were about 1000 other kids there from schools around the West Coast and Canterbury. The instruments were ukuleles, flutes, marimbas, drums and a brass band, there were also people singing.

The ukuleles played songs like something in the water, July, Star Wars, Cape Reinga, Do what you wanna, Budapest, te aroha and big aroha. We practiced for 6 hours during the day. Then we performed for (7:00 - 8:15pm) 1 hour and 15 minutes. There were a lot of people in the audience.

Before the performance I was so excited I was hopping up and down, but I was also nervous at the same time. After the performance I felt lots of emotions like excitement, enthusiasm, joy and exhaustion. It was an amazing experience!
