Our special Guest - Ruby Tui

Pohutukawa Syndicate were very lucky last week! Phoenix's Aunty came to visit us during Wa Whanau to show us her Silver Medal and tell us about the Rio Olympics.

Ruby Tui played in the New Zealand Women's Sevens team that won silver at the Olympic Games.

We all got to hold the Silver Medal - it was really heavy!







Ruby talked to us about the importance of trying and practicing to get better at things. We need to be determined and think "I can do it!"
We enjoyed meeting Ruby and asking her lots of questions about the Olympics.


Congratulations Ruby and thank you for sharing your medal and stories with us!
