Tabloids

 On Wednesday, we had tabloids. The whole school was split up in groups that were organised by Mrs Vickers and the prefects. (Mika, Meana, Min Zin, Saluselo, Katrina.) The groups are Kowhai, Kakariki, Whero and Kikorangi. In English, it is yellow, green, red, and blue. We had to work together to get points for our team. Meana's group got 35 points, Min, Zins group got 27 points, Mikas group got 35 points and my team got 37 points. It was the best day ever. It was great! 

The First Senior Syndicate Assembly For 2017

It wasn't our normal day where we start the assembly on Mondays. Instead, because  it was Waitangi day we had to do our assembly on Tuesday. It was kinda weird having an assembly on Tuesday. It was our turn to host the syndicate assembly. It was fun. We had to dance to a music,  and me, Mika and Lupe had to dance to "Hit The Quan."

Run! Jump! Throw!

In this final episode, there is: 1) Messy house, clean house - where there are two areas with nine stuffed toys on each area. 2) Shot putt 1 (Not ordinary shot putt.) 3) Shot putt 2 with a cricket wicket! This is going to be an extraordinary event . . .

Run, Jump, Throw.

The past 6 weeks, we had run jump throw with coach Declan. He is a coach from a company called “Kelly Sports.” The first two weeks, we had to learn how to get ready when you are participating in a race and how to run. The week after we had practiced how to run, we had to learn how to jump. In the last two weeks we learnt how to throw. These were my favourite sessions because there was a game called “Knock Down The Wicket.” The team that had most points, they got 10 minutes of play time on their Chromebooks. Three teams won, including my team. It was fun but the fun was over. I hope we do it again next year.

Watch Out!!!

The earthquake hit the north of Christchurch near Hanmer Springs at 12:02 in the morning. The earthquake struck 16m deep. It was then followed by more than a dozen aftershocks across the country including two 6.2 magnitude quakes near Kaikoura.

A tsunami warning has been issued to a number of areas around New Zealand. This includes all of the East Coast of New Zealand, both in the North Island and the South.  A 2m tsunami has hit Kaikoura.

Earthquake Advice: If you are in a house and a earthquake is going, please do not go outside sightseeing. Stay inside and remember to DROP, COVER and HOLD.

Tsunami Advice: If you are on a beach and the you see the sea getting sucked in, and you see the sea level getting higher, get to higher ground quickly.

Auckland Botanical Gardens

When we got there I saw a Tui, a native bird, different types of plants and different types of flowers. I also saw ponds, houses, decks, signs, people, (of course), different types of sculptures, bridges, ducks, different types of trees, frogs, eels, dogs, cars and insects. I heard lots of talking in different languages, noises of animals and a cool breeze.

I could smell flowers, perfume and dung! I got excited when we got to the Edible Garden because I wanted to see the fruits and vegetables but when I was looking I got a little bit cold. (Alright, I was very cold.) It was also my favourite garden area because it had fruit and vegetables and by the way, I love (not like) love fruit and vegetables!

My favourite flower was roses because I liked their colour and the smell that was filling the air. My favourite sculpture was the bird sculpture at the front of the building because I liked the creation that looked like a tornado.

It was a fun day there. It was my second time going there too!

My imaginary creature!

I was chosen to represent Room 10 at Ruapotaka's Poetry Recital this morning.  After reading the nonsense poem, Scroobious Pip, by Edward Lear, I created my own imaginary creature and here is my poem about him.
