Memories

My favourite subject this year was R.E because I like learning about Jesus. 

I have improved my reading because I read a lot at home. 

I really enjoyed writing because it is fun. 

I am proud of my maths because I learnt my tables. 

My friends are funny. I became friends with them because they always help me like I help them. We tried to manage ourselves. 

Next year I would like to do some more topic work.

A Special Mass

Today,in the morning , the junior school went to our mass. The people who were going to read had to go and sit on the front seats. Sia was the first one to read. Then we were singing and singing. After that Father was reading us a story when we finished singing. After that Father asked us some questions to us. Some of the Juniors  kept saying the same thing as the other people were saying. Only one man came back to Jesus and said thank you. Aaliyah and Vanessa was the last one to read.  Akesa and Goerge had to give the flowers to Mrs Moodley. I think Mrs Moodley was happy. It was fun. I was happy too and tired. I enjoyed Aaliyah and Vanessa's part.

My Troll

My troll is evil, wicked and ferocious. He has ugly teeth. He lives under a bridge in a cave. He eats goat meat. He has ugly, long nasty legs. He has a read, ugly hat and he wears nasty pants. He has a short head and he has a green face. His ears are yellow and red. He is so mean and horrible. He has ugly fancy shoes. He smells like socks. He wants to eat girls and boys too. He has a fierce red eyes. He is a happy creature because he eats lots of goat meat. I think he is a mean creature.

Our First Day of Milk

Today, 8th November, Room 4 had their first day of milk. First of all the monitors Aaliyah and Vanessa went to get the milk from the music room. It was inside a box. Aaliyah and Vanessa gave the milk to the people in Room 4 who were reading quietly. When we go the milk I took the straw off and put it in the hole on the milk. After I had finished I went to Ms Mat to fold the milk. After we had folded it Mrs Pole told us to come and sit on the front mat to watch a video about milk. By Fiapo

Room 4 sat down on the ground. PHIL told  us were going to play squash. They said that they were going to show us what squash looked like. After that we had a turn playing squash. Sometimes we missed the ball .PHIL told us to sit in a circle.  PHIL told us to roll the ball on the other persons
 racquet.Some people kept making the ball fall off. They kept balancing it too. It was fun. Last of all  PHIL told to  line up at the back of our teacher. We had a drink because we were exhausted and tired. I like squash because its fun.

Fabric and Fibre Art

This is me sewing the stem of the flower 
I enjoyed the stem of the flower.
I found it tricky and Miss Mat had to unpick the stem because I tangled it.

Cheeky Rona and the Powerful Moon Retold by Fiapo

Many years ago in the dark forest near a cold whare lived Rona and her children. Rona's children were thirsty. Rona went to fetch some cold water. Rona tripped on the bumpy ground. So Roma was rude to the bright moon because Marama was at the back of the dark cloud. She yelled at the moon "see what you've done?" The moon said "Don't talk to me like that!" The moon grabbed her as she was holding the rgaio tree but Marama was too strong. She pulled Rona up to the sky. The children were calling her. She said look up at the sky but they couldn't see her. Rona said look up at the moon. They looked up at the moon and saw her. The children had to look after themselves.

The message is be careful how you talk to others.

Our first Badminton Lesson

Last Tuesday afternoon Room 4 went to the hall. First of all we took our shoes off. Next we warmed up. Then we played Stuck in the Mud. The instructor, Robbie, told us what to do. After this we went to get a shuttlecock and a racquet from Robbie. He told us to bounce the shuttlecock. The instructor told us we had to be careful bouncing the shuttlecock. It was fun playing the game. It was a kiwi sport. I nearly hit the shuttlecock 6 times. The feathers were made out of goose feathers and there were fifteen feathers. When I hit the shuttlecock it flew.

While we were playing Robbie told us we are going to make a hamburger. It was like we were outside in the air. I said I love badminton games. On the bottom of the shuttlecock was a cork. I went backwards and forwards. Last of all we got our shoes and went back to class. I enjoyed going to badminton. I look forward to it again.

My Collage Artwork

I enjoyed putting the sequins on and making the little fish.
What I found tricky was the tissue paper because it is soft and rips.
I like the way I made the eyes with the pink bubble wrap.
I used texture by making the dyed paper smooth.

Dear Huni,

Today I want to tell you that you are great for fixing our desks when they were broken. Thank you for staying for 35 years. I am very sorry that you are leaving.
I want to thank you for helping the beautiful garden and looking after our rubbish bins. Thank you for looking after our school and washing our school.
I really enjoy you joking around us and being kind. You were the best joker ever, like my uncle Jerry. We are going to miss you when you are gone.
I would like to say thank you for planting the flowers in the garden. May God bless you and your family.

Ash Wednesday

This morning I had Ash Wednesday with my class. We sat on the chairs. Then we sang all of the songs. We got our morning tea. I felt happy because Father Ioane put the ashes on us and it tickled me.
