Red Sock day!!



 By Leah and Jack M!!

Sir Peter Blake liked to wear his Red Socks for good luck. During the America's Cup Challenge in 1995 New Zealand supported the boat by putting on  their own lucky red socks.  The Sir Peter Blake Trust encourages schools to celebrate Leadership Day and the memory of Sir Peter Blake!!

Last Friday much of BIS and New Zealand put on their own red socks in celebration of Sir Peter Blake and supporting the leaders in our school. Everyone was encouraged to wear red socks to show appreciation for all the leaders and people who want to be leaders all over New Zealand. The Friday before Room 8's class leader told the school about Sir Peter Blake and what he did to become a hero in our country! Here are some photos of BIS showing their support!!
