First Award For Term 3

On Monday there was a very special assembly because it was the first day of term 3. Four students from different classes were chosen by their teacher to go up the front by Mrs Vickers to be presented with a caught being good book for reading over the holidays. 

Tupouseini and Tyron were chosen from Room 12. 

Keep up the good work!

★ Learning About Matariki ★

On the 13th of June every Maori in the senior block went to Te Oro to learn lots of things about Matariki★. We all learnt how to find Matariki★ in the sky and we also learnt that the Southern Cross never rises and it never sets.

People think of the group of stars as a mother and her daughters. The mothers' name is Matariki★ and the daughters' names are Tupu-a-nuku, 
Tupu-a-rangi, Waiti, Waita, Waipungarangi and Ururangi. 

 Instructions on how to find Matariki★ for yourself. 
All you need to do is firstly wake up before 6 o'clock and then at 6 o'clock go outside and look for the Southern Cross and if you've find it try and find Matariki★ but remember to use the Southern Cross to help.

Maybe you can try and see the star cluster in the sky yourself.

Victory At Last ⚽⚽

Yesterday was the soccer interschool competition and it was located at the Point England Reserve. The whole soccer team left at approximately
9:20 am. We went up against a lot of  schools. The first school the year 7/8s played against was Glen Taylor school but I was a afraid because it was the first game for the day. Just after the game ended the year 5/6s had their game against a school named Saint Patricks. Both teams won their first game.

The year 7/8s won all their games but sadly they lost one. The last school we went up against was Stonefields and unfortunately most of their team were injured. Both schools tied so we came equal first. Victory was ours at last.  🏅🏅

Term 2 begins

Today on the 1st of May I woke up thrilled and delighted to see my teacher Mrs Golder and learn new things with Room 11 and Mr Reid. Today it was nice to see everyone happy and smiling. When I went into class I was so happy to see all my friends.

Today was the first whole school assembly and it was exciting because some people from classes get caught being good book and they take it home and read it. 

🔧Last Day Of Tech 🔧

Today on the 5th of April was the last day of Technicraft because next week there is a display at Te Oro and most of the people are going. 

Today in Mr Grundy's class I was making my toy. My toy is a tractor. I am almost done with my tractor. I only started a few weeks ago and I am very proud of myself. 

After the lesson we all have to sit on the benches and only four of the year seven's swept the floor, because there were only four brooms. 

The photo above is showing us sitting on the bench and people sweeping the floor.

Robert Rakete

Today Robert Rakete came to the school and he talked about his favourite book. He likes to read Astrix. The book Astrix is about a man who has a moustache and when he drinks a potion he gets super strength.  He can beat up the baddies which are Romans. Robert told us that he is one of the Wiggles. He said that he is the Brown Wiggle. He is also on MAI FM but then moved to BREEZE. 

Robert Rakete is very inspiring and he has inspired me to be a performer and become an actress.
