What's going on in Week 5?

Well it's been a pretty full-on weekend for Mrs Moore this weekend as Albie tripped over and broke his arm on Friday.  He had it set on Friday evening but the surgeon was not happy with it, so he had to stay the night in hospital (Mrs Moore stayed with him too) and he had another operation on Saturday to fix it properly and insert some wire to hold it in place.  You can imagine how sore Albie must be and what a traumatic time it has been for their family.  Mrs Moore is going to stay home with Albie on Monday, but we hope to see her back during the week.  Our thoughts are with you with lots of speedy recovery messages being zoomed out to Albie.

Great swimming last week at the swimming sports!  We were all so proud of your behaviour and 'can-do' attitude.  Seeing you all giving it a go (even those of you who don't like swimming so much) made our day :)  Congratulations to those of you who will be representing Avonhead at the Zones.
