Hangi

Brightwater School is going to have a hangi at lunch time and I can't wait. To make hangi food you have to make a hole but you have to put a fire at the bottom of the hole. The two men put dirt on the hole when the steam comes out so the food keeps cooking.
We are going to have the hangi food on the back court. It will be real yummy.

PJ party, class treat

On a sunny Tuesday Room One got a class treat because they got twenty marbles in the jar.
We had a fabulous party. Well a dress, PJ and plain party. There was clothes, Pj's, pirates, princesses, spiderman and a coach. I was wearing my littlest Pet Shop pyjamas and the background was pink, well dark pink. We watched the movie Tom and Jerry, and it was about a little mouse and a cat. We also had some popcorn and Brianna's Mum bought us some snake lollies.                           by Eden

School Cross Country

We had our cross country at Lord Rutherford Park and it was the Room 2 boys v Room 1 boys. It was also the Room 1 girls vs the Room 2 girls. I came 1st.
I was very tired at the end of the race. Leo was right behind me. It was a tough race and I had fast shoes on my feet but Jaxson over took Leo so Jaxson came second.  There were lots of fast people and I was happy that I won. I got an ice cream at home and Mum and Dad were very proud of me!

Powhiri

On a rainy Monday that was today, we had a Powhiri in the hall. There were two ladies visitors who were girls. One of them spoke in Maori. We had to stand up three times to sing songs. The Middles and Seniors who went to Kapa Haka did a thing but I can't remember what it was called. It was good.        Eden

Today Brightwater School had a Powhiri welcome. There were two ladies from Christchurch. One of them sang a song but when they came in there were two girls who sang the karanga call. After that, Brightwater School sang the school song, Wairama. The boys in the Kapa Haka group preformed the haka. I loved it, it was a great time.       Jet
