A Busy WeeK!

On Friday morning the whole school watched the "Jack Flash and the Beanstalk Drama Show" and it was very funny but had an important message about not dropping your rubbish and using the 3R's (reuse, reduce, recycle) instead.
To end the week and to celebrate Matariki we had a delicious Hangi for our lunch. Mr H cooked the food in a big pit on the back field. We had yummy kumera, potatoes, cabbage, pumpkin, lamb, pork and chicken. While we were waiting for the food to be served the older children helped us do some weaving with flax.

School Cross Country

Charlotte and Amy D finished 2nd and 4th in their race

Amy W is running really fast!

Michael and Caleb were 2nd and 3rd in the junior boys race

The weather was fine so we finally had the school's cross country races which took place at school. Room 1 children did really well and all of them managed to run all the way without stopping.

Jonny

Once upon a time there was a little boy and his name was Jonny. He belongs to Sally but then he ran away from her. He ran as fast as he could until he hit the jungle and he heard a thumping noise.  It was a giant!  He screamed until the noise stopped.  He ran back to his house and cuddled his mum and never ever ran away from home because he didn't want to see that giant anymore.

Swimming lessons

I went to the Aquatic Centre and I did backstroke with a kick-board. I swam on my side and did freestyle with out a kick

-board too. We did brain, goggle, cheek with Room one and Room two. We did mushrooms at the end of our lesson and we got there on the bus. The pool that we were in was really deep in water and at the end of our lessons we had a race.              By Harrison
