My cool dad :)

My dad is the best dad in the world. He likes surfing a lot but he still has time for me. We have Nerf wars. He has been teaching me to surf but I'm not good at it. His hair is as brown as tree I like that he wears surfers clothes. He is funny as a monkey. He is really nice to me and awesome and cool. He can skate but at all we play Terraria and Minecraft. Some time he's good at football. He's been teaching me to swim. I'm really good at swimming. That's why my dad is the best. :)

Summer: The donkey's hooves are too hot and he has to carry carrots on his back

Autumn: The donkey's hooves are tired and he has to carry heavy loads. The wind is chilly

The Beautiful Paua Shell by Daphne Rm 11

One day there lived a beautiful Paua shell and inside was a beautiful rainbow. But there was also a paua.

It was really lovely and was hiding the beautiful bright rainbow. All we could see was the paua. It's name was Jennifer.

People think it's beautiful because it is. But one day someone.....fished it out of the sea.Then they ate it all up. Yummy!!

So that was the end of Jennifer and the end of the story. The end.

Riley is Awesome. by Logan W.

Riley is so, so silly. We fight, we play and we kick a ball. He is my brother. He is four. He lives in Thimble Lane with me. He likes watching Fireman Sam and the Dinosaur Train. 

Riley is funny and he is also naughty sometimes. He is as cute as himself. He is so snuggly I could use him as a teddy bear in bed. He is thin.

Riley knows the oh ee oh a a ching ching wola wola bing bang and the moves. Together we play in our big, big, big 3 story garden. I boot up the ball and he tells me if it goes in the goal.

Riley is a good friend. He is the best, best, best, best AWESOMEST friend in the whole entire world. He is the friend I need. He is the best.

Old Medicine by Rhys

OLD MEDICINE


In the olden days there wasn't lots of silver paper. Keith was 3 years old and had one sibling who was his sister, Mona. Keith's Grandma sold packets of silver paper and he got a piece and he did a trick on Mona. He swapped hands and Mona got it wrong because she picked the other hand and didn't get it right. So she stomped off and then Keith had no one and nothing to play with.


Except the silver paper! He got bored after 1 minute so he stuck it up his nose and got it stationary! (Which means it got stuck.)


Finally he started crying. So Keith's family went to hospital but then they went back home because Keith complained because he didn't want an operation. He wouldn't go back except for a deal: 50 cents, new pj's, socks and shoes, and ride to the hospital on a shiny new bike at their neighbour's house 


But the neighbor knew what to do!She poured black pepper down his nose and then he squeezed the pussy, infected, snotty silver paper out when he was sneezing.
He still got the deal for if he went to the hospital even though he didn't go to hospital, he still go the deal.  It was unfair for Mona because she got nothing and her little brother got 50 cents, pj's, socks and shoes.
Mona thought "boys are always lucky."

If your friend got hurt, help him or her. If they are bleeding take them to the sick bay.

If a person is new and they don't have a pencil let them use yours or any stationery. 
If your friends don't have anyone to play with let them play with you like on a playground.

If you've got some new friends and the old  friend had nobody to play with help them to be happy and to play the game with you.

Now you know how to be an awesome friend! by Cameron L

If you are just starting school you will want some friends.

First, never annoy them. They could think you are a bad friend and you do not want that. Never bully them or you could be known as the school bully! If they are in your class do not scribble on their work. Tell funny jokes.

So follow my guide and everybody will want to be your friend.

Being A Good Friend By Rhys

Are you starting a new school?  If you are don't be mean. Be a good friend.  If you don't know how don't stress because I'm teaching you.



The first thing you do is to not hurt them.  If you're playing a game of tag the number #1 rule is to not push or they won't like you.


The second thing you do is to share.  If you have someone sitting beside you and don't have a pencil let them use it, be fair.


The final thing is to let them play because they would play with you that is called equality and fairness.


Now you know how to be a good friend you could be a fantabulous friend.  Go get some more friends and remember be kind.  Later!!!

Tackle Rugby by Toby

I am Toby Brown. Do you want to know how to play tackle rugby? I can show you. 

First you will need a team of 15, a mouth guard, a pair of rugby boots and know how to tackle. You can have head gear. Boots are good for lots of grip. The ball is an oval.

When you are passing spin the ball and aim where you are passing. Do short passing so the other team does not get the ball. Put your hands out to catch the ball. 

You need speed to score a try. Get a try at the end of the field. You can dive.  If you kick the ball, you can do a drop kick. 

NOW PLAY!

How to Recover from a Operation by Jethro

Hi I'm Jethro and I'm going to teach you how to recover from a operation. First you wait for the nurse. When the nurse calls you get up and go. Then you walk down a hallway then you go in a room and you get into hospital PJS then take some medicine.  It's a bit bitter. After that you go on a bed with wheels and then go into the operation room. You need to breathe though a hole then fall asleep. Then you wake. When you talk you're croaky. After that you get an iceblock. Finally you get to have a ride on a wheelchair. I had Foxy and I got a hospital lion.

Rippa Rugby! By Otis Rm 10

If you don't know what rippa rugby is then keep reading because I'm going to tell you.

The first step is to catch the ball. If you don't know how don't worry. You need your hards free. 

Team work is important in rippa rugby because your team need to pass the ball not hog it, and know when people are open. Eye contact contact is good to know so you can pass the ball. You always need your hards free so they can pass to you.

Run in an open hole. If you see a hole go for it so you can score a goal. Throw to people who are ready. It's good for people to know you are passing.

I hope you know how to play rippa rugby now.

By Otis.

Tackle Rugby by Bonnie

Do you want to know how to play rugby?

Rugby is a winter sport. When you play rugby you have two teams who are trying to get the ball so they can get a try at the try line. You need to wear rugby boots, a mouth guard, shorts and a team t-shirt.

You need to pass close or someone in the other team could get the ball. You have to remember your position. If you get tackled try moving your way out and run to the try line and get a try. If you get a try you have to kick the conversion. A try is worth five points, a conversion is worth two and a penalty is worth three points. 

A conversion is when you have to kick the ball through the posts. If someone in the other team is going to get a try you have to run up and tackle them and try to get the ball. To get a try you have to be fast so no one can catch you. A penalty is if someone tackles you and holds you down for too long. You do another kick off and see which team gets it.

If someone throws the ball to you,  you have to keep an eye on the ball so you catch it. If someone passes the ball to you and you drop it in front of you thats called a knock on and you have to give it to the other team. 

You need to do a scrum if there's a knock on. A scrum is when your team has to push against the other team to get the ball. This is how you tackle: you dive down to someone in the other teams legs and then they fall down and drop the ball. If they don't, try grab it out of their hands.

That's how you play rugby.

By Bonnie

Rippa Rugby by Rhys

Hi. Do you want to know how to play Rippa Rugby? If you do. I'll teach you.  

You have to have teamwork. That is what you do first. You always have to pass.  It is good to start with small ones then get longer and longer. 

After that catching.  You always need to be able to catch if you drop the ball the other team will get it.  With that aim for where the ball may land.    

You need to have speed like cars + Usain bolt. They have speed to run fast.  You need boots to grip to the ground like monster trucks speedy guys win the scores.  


All players dive to get the trys and rips.  Imagine the famous rugby players too scared to dive tackle or dive score.  


All players have a position to sort a position you have to have a race to see who is fast and slow so you get the fast at the back and the slow at the front.  

In Rippa you tap the ball with your foot and then go, by go I mean run speed across the field if you think your going to get ripped pass so you won't get ripped.  When you've been ripped you tap and pass.  To not get ripped players dodge they side step, run to the side stuff like that.  


Last but not least you need tags or you won't be able to rip but what would you do it with.  Hmmm lets think I know belts velcro belts to stick on with.  Come on go chatter 
with friends and family.

The Sun looks like.......a humungous ball of fire.
The Sun feels like........lava or fire.
TheSun sounds like.......f f f f f f f f f.
The Sun smells like.........smoke from a fire.
The Sun tastes like ...........dead chilli.
The Sun sounds like.......... a really king-sized explosion.
The Sun tastes like..........a bome going of in your moth.
The Sun looks like.........a sparkling mammoth.

My Sun Poem by Cameron D.

The Sun 

Looks like... a scorching hot ball of spaghetti, 

The sun feels like... you accidentally put your finger in the toaster, 

The sun sounds like... sizzling bacon in a pan, 

The sun smells like... a burned hotdog,

The sun tastes like...super spicy pepper.

Here Comes The Sun Poem By Rhys Evans

The Sun Tastes like burning spicy hot pasta... 

The Sun Looks like flaming spirally circly bursting chilli pepper... 

The Sun Sounds like boiling bubbly popping mud... 

The Sun Sounds like oozing flamy beans burning with a fiery ball... 

The Sun Feels like a burning flaming gunshot burning that's crystal-clear enormous lazery ball 

Burning my head off.

PENGUINS OF THE WORLD

Do you like penguins? Well I sure do.        
Penguin  females normally lay 1 egg but they have a rare which is 2. Penguins keep warm because they are warm blooded. Penguins are mostly seen at zoos like our zoos that we have in New Zealand.

Early Antarctica explorers thought that penguins were fish. There are over 2 million in the world. Most penguins lay eggs. There diet is: Krill fish and shrimp.

Penguins chicks don't weigh more than a bag of sugar, thats not lots either.
Penguins can't fly because their wings aren't big enough to support there body. There are approxamitly 18 speices in the history of penguins.

Most kids think that penguins live in Antarctica but they're all over the world. My favourite penguins is the Emperor  penguin. Here's a picture of it.                               


That's an Emperor penguin that would be taller than you if you're small like I am well... maybe not the baby Emperors they might be a bit shorter.

Thanks for reading!

Room 10's Assembly by Caroline

On Friday of Week 7 at 12 o'clock Room 10 held an assembly for the Year 3 and 4 Syndicate. We have a Syndicate Assembly in Weeks 4, 7 and 10 to share and celebrate our learning. We also have Syndicate Singing Assemblies in Weeks 2, 5 and 8. In Weeks 3, 6 and 9 of each term we have schoolwide assemblies in the hall.

To prepare for the assembly the Room 10 students selected their assembly jobs and wrote their scripts so they knew what to say. Then they practised presenting. Presenting in front of an audience is really hard to do! Everyone had to remember to speak slowly and clearly and use a loud voice. It was hard to do this while trying to remember the words and look at the audience all at once! 

Presenters. 

Introduction- Gabby
Criteria- Otis, Ben and Toby
National Anthem- Max C and Maya
Foxy- Liana, Sophia and Rachael
Introducing the Year 3 & 4 Blog- Toby H and Rhys
On the blog...

Farewell- Imogen and Cameron L

This assembly was great practise for the School Assembly in Week 9 that Room 10 will present. We hope a lot of Room 10 friends and family can come along to see us present!


Curiosity Killed The Cat - a made up story.

When I was two, my mum got a cat named June. He had  grey fur and leafy green eyes. He always used to gently cuddle against me,sitting on my lap. One day he ran on the road and got ran over by a car! We took him to the vet and he lived but his leg had to get   amputated [chopped off]. He lived happily with us until his 22nd birthday he became sick. We took him to the vet but it was too late. He was DEAD.

The Art Extravaganza

"Grab your sketch books, pencils and line up" said Mrs Haswell. "We can't go because we have no parent helpers yet." Suddenly they appeared around the corner. "Yay let's go. We're going to have some fun at Pataka"

At Pataka we sketched some things that were there, like the Chinese animal faces. We also saw the Blood Faces exhibition. There was also another breathtaking exhibition on how Whittakers chocolate was made.

We made a mirror out of rolled up magazines. We started from the corner and rolled it tightly around a paintbrush. We glued the end of the paper, took the paintbrush out and kept rolling. Then once we've got lots of them, we glued them onto a piece of round flat plywood.


After a day of making excellent up-cycled art out of household trash, we came back to school on the fast slithering train. We were so exhausted!!

From awesome Room 11.

My Robot Star Spy

My robot can spy and it can help. My robot like to fly and spy and make shadows. It doesn't like some other robots. My robot lives on all the planets like Mars. It like to play with  some robots. It likes to eat water, grass, oil and milk. My robot's job is to spy. It likes me. I like Star Spy. She loves me. 

I like to adventure with her but some times I can't go with her because she goes to different countries and goes to different planets. It is too dangerous for me. My robot is a cat.

By Mia, Room 10

The Queen of the Fire Kingdom and the Queen of the Water Kingdom.

Once upon a time in the Fire Kingdom a little baby was born. The baby grew into a mean Queen that ruled every bit of the Fire Kingdom. Not long after that mean Queen ruled a baby was born in the Snow and Water Kingdom. She grew into a nice Queen that ruled the Water and Snow Kingdom kindly! 

When the Water and Snow Queen was watching TV she saw that the Fire Queen was killing some of her people! Then she flew to the Fire Kingdom to defend her people. She quickly grabbed her people and flew back to the Snow and Water Kingdom before it was too late. 

The Fire Queen was happy because the Snow and Water Queen showed her how to be a nice Queen. Then the Fire Queen texted her saying, 'You have shown me how to be a good Queen." They became best friends. 

by Cameron L, Room 10

The Fire Queen looks like this: Red hair and yellow dress, red eyes and red shoes. 

The Water and Snow Queen looks like this: Blue eyes, blue dress, ice shoes and blue hair!

Room 12 visiting Pataka


We, the students of Room 12, are part of the next generation - guardians or kaitiaki - who will look after our planet. 
We are responsible for taking care of the air, the water and the earth. 
We must look after our sandy beaches, rocky rock pools and muddy mudflats that are at our doorstep in and around Paremata.
We are big on taking care of the environment.    
We are interested in how we can reduce and reuse waste materials and upcycle them into art.

That's why Room 12 went on a trip to Pataka to learn more about reduce, reuse and recycle, and what to do with all the waste materials we have on our planet.

We learnt that you can make:
  • bunnies out of plastic bags
  • symmetrical art flowers out of cardboard boxes
  • bracelets out of old copper wiring that can be decorated with beads made out of paper
  • rainbow coloured frames decorated with little bits of broken Kinder Surprise toys
  • pencil holders out of plastic bottles

They all looked amazing!

Please look after our wonderful world. Don't throw all your rubbish away.
Be wise and REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE, UPCYCLE and REPURPOSE.
