Mini Olympic

After morning tea the whole senior block had to line up in front of Room 11 with our mini Olympic group. The country I was put in was New Zealand and in my group I had Pepe, Kotitpi, and Isabella. Then all the teams had to stand up and follow a teacher with our flag.

Room 12 Syndicate Assembly

On Monday Room 12 hosted the syndicate assembly. Rachel from the Winter  Learning Journey came to our school for prize giving. Whoever participated in the Winter Learning Journey received a certificate. Whoever came first or second or third won a special prize for example a rugby ball and a basketball.   

Anzac Ceremony

On the last day of Term One, after lunch we had an Anzac Ceremony at our school for the soldiers that went to war for us to live. At the Ceremony people read some poems and some people talked about the soldiers.

After all those poems and talking, we all had to stand up and sing the National Anthem.

When we finished the Anzac Ceremony, we all had to go back to our classroom because the bell was going to ring and we all had to go home. Then one minute later the bell rang.  It is time for us to go home and enjoy our holiday so we all said good bye and we went home happily.

Buddy Reading With Room 7

Last week on Wednesday afternoon Room 12 had to get ready for buddy reading with Room 7. We have to choose a book so we can read it to them and I chose a book call Matariki. Matariki is about the Seven Sisters or stars that come out on Maori New Year. All of a sudden Room 7 was in front of our classroom door waiting for us.  So our teacher let them in. Room 7 have to get a buddy from Room 12 and someone picked me so I have to read to them. After we all finished Mrs Golder and Ms Riley told us to pack up and get our bag because the bell was  going to ring. Then the bell rsng so we all went home.

Special Assembly

Last week on Thursday, a special person from Vector came to our school and her name was Esther. She talked to us about electronics and windmills.

She showed us her cardboard helicopter that moves when the sun is shining on it or put a flash light on it. After that she asked some questions and gave some stickers if we got the answer right. Then she talked to us about how much electricity that we are using in our house or any where else.

At the end she showed us her electronic car. It was so awesome the car can move by  itself under a sun or under a flashlight. My favourite thing was the electronic car but the helicopter wasn't bad.

Lunch Time Sport

On Monday Room 12 and Room 11 had sport with Mrs Shortland at lunch time. In my team I had Matali, Haliano, Jack Daniel, Pepe, Mele and I forgot the rest. It was fun until I fell down. We won by four points and when Mrs Shortland went back to the staffroom,  all of us argued.

School Holiday

In the School holidays me and my family went to Rangitoto Island. We got there on a ferry and it took us 25mins. On the way to Rangitoto Island I saw some dolphins jumping around. 25min later we had arrived. It was a long walk to get to the top of the Rangitoto mountain. When we got there I saw a big hole full of rocks. We stayed there for one hour then we all had to come back home.
