Laughed!

Today, I laughed and laughed when I saw what the children were wearing for mufti day. 
I was standing in the staffroom when I saw Hannah and Shanara walking along the deck wearing their mufti gear.  Hannah was wearing a long, curly blond wig and I thought she was dressed as a singer or a movie star. I didn’t even know there was a theme. 
The girls came in to get a key and I asked them what the theme was. They just giggled and so I said to Hannah, “Hmm, who has long, blonde, curly hair?”  Then I clicked and asked Hannah, “Are you me?”
She laughed and said, “Yes!”
Then they told me it was ‘Dress Up as Mrs Rolls’ day.  It made me laugh seeing what the kids turned up in and I was so impressed.  They came as me, or one of my family or in my fav colours or things. 
We had an assembly and I gave out prizes and we got some great photos! 
I want to thank the staff, parents and kids for such a fun day!

Mrs Rolls Mufti Day

Today we had a Mrs. Rolls mufti day so we had to dress up as Mrs. Rolls or her favourite colour or any thing else to do with her.  I dressed up in her favourite colour green.
Mrs. Rolls didn't know we were going to dress up as her or something she likes but she did know that we were going to wear mufti, until Hannah and Shanara came into the staff room to get the key for our classroom and Mrs. Rolls saw Hannah and she had a blonde curly wig on and Mrs. Rolls guessed that they were dressing up as her and she was right.

Rainy Day

The sky was dark and gloomy; the sky was covered in ash-like colour. As the school children sat inside listening to the rain, they were doing their work but they had other things on their mind.
“Psst, Hope,” whispered Shanara.
“Yes?”
“It’s raining really hard.”
“I know, I really wish we could go outside and play in the rain,” Hope said.
“So do I!”
“If I was in the rain,” said Shanara, “I would go stand right dead smack in the middle of the field and poke my tongue out. I would play and play until I was covered in wet dripping puddles. Oh, how I wish to play in the rain.”
If I was in the rain, I would run and run until the teacher called us in,” said Hope. “The rain looks so tempting to play in.”

Rainy Day

Today is Thursday. It is a very cold miserable day. The rain is bucketing down. You can see drip after drop down the window, the whole place is a wet mess. The deck is wet, so is the playground.


“Isn't it a wet, yucky day?” Ethan said.
“Yes it is, it is a wet, soggy day,” I said to Ethan.
“I hate wet days, we can't  play outside,” said Ethan.
  

“What would you do if you could play in the rain?” I said to Ethan.
“I would jump in the puddles, and do bombs in the ponds of mud and get saturated.”
“Same here,”  I said in a exited voice.

Mrs Rolls Mufti Day

Mrs Rolls Mufti Day!
Today when the kids from Mapua hopped off the bus, Mrs Rolls got a big surprise!!!  I walked up the balcony in my blonde wig dressed all in blue green and purple and when I got to the staff room where all the teachers were I stopped and flicked my hair! All the teachers were laughing their heads off!

It didn’t take long for her to guess what the theme was either! It was pretty easy to tell that the theme was her when you looked at my blonde curly wig!!!    


All of the other kids did a great job of dressing up too! One kid had made a cardboard coffee cup! A girl in my class went in a cardboard book that she made, because Mrs Rolls LOVES reading. - Hannah. T J

Rainy Day

Today is a rainy day and the wind is blowing and the trees are falling. I like the rain.

“I like the rain,” said Ethan.
“I hate the rain,” said Asher.
“Why do you hate the rain?” asked Ethan.
“Because there is nothing to do,” said Asher.
“I like the rain it sounds nice and you can relax,” said Ethan.

I like the rain because you can jump, get all muddy and get soaked and feel the rain hitting your face.

“Why does it have to rain?” said Hannah.

Wednesday Trip


On Wednesday, while the year seven and eights were at MoTec, Asher and I went to the library. Well, I guess I’d better be truthful. We actually went to Hot Mamas for a hot chocolate and then we went to the library.
At Hot Mamas it was really nice, there was a fire was going, the hot chocolates were huge and we got marshmallows with them.
After the hot chocolates we walked down to the library with very full stomachs and I got four books called 'Mascot Madness', 'The Dark Rider' and two other books I can’t remember the names of.
So that was our Wednesday morning!
