Camp

2012-03-12T11:27:00.000+13:00

On Monday 5th March at 8:15am room 4 showed up at school early for their bus ride to the picton ferry termanal and waited for their interislander boat ride to wellington, I found the boat ride there was fine and then we got a bus to the train station to catch the porirua train so we can walk up to camp elsdon, When we got there we had to grab our luggage and find our rooms, Brooklyn and I were shareing room 4 in between Hope and shanara and on the other side was Tangiwai and Pamela. We were all excited because we were going swimming adn we all got changed into our togs and walked down to the pools, they were HUGE there were about 5 pools (good sized ones) and 1 hydroslide (that I didnt go down) and a lazy river (that had little round pools in it) we all had a great time there and finally time to go back to camp and have tea. The next day we got up nice and early at 6:00am (like everyday except Thursday because we had to get up even earlier at 5:00am) so the 2nd day we had the Zoo, Cable Car, Carter Observatory, Botanical Gardens, Parliament and Go Carts on the 3rd day we had Te Papa, Museum of wellington city and sea, National War memorial, Laser Force, and Capital E and the last day was just traveling.

Go Karts!!!!!!!

Go Karts

It was so fun, exiting and sort of a challenge in places. We all loved the food especially the chips plus we are very thankful for the discount.

Thank you for providing the service that let us cross the cook strait. We were able to go to the video games room, the gift shop and the sun deck also the café.

Because we were able to have our camp in wellington, we were able to go to the zoo, Te papa, carter observatory, Go Karts, Laser force Museum of wellington city and sea, War Memorial, Parliament and Capital E.

carter observatory !!!

2012-03-09T14:40:00.003+13:00

At carter observatory we learnt about the stars and constellations

Constellations are a star that make a picture some are really hard to make out though

We learnt that we have lots of stars in the sky and I would do it again .

They had lots of neat stuff like, moon rocks, meteorites, things you can have in space, a game to move objects asif you were in a space suit,and lots more.

Dear Kit Liam

National War Memorial

The Unknown Warrior!!

Thank-you for showing us and telling us about the unknown warrior that went ot war in 1914- 1918. I liked how an unknown warrior that went to war and was brought back to New Zealand from France and was put in the Tomb that was laid in front of the war Memorial, because he was a New Zealander that went to war to fight for his country. It was really surprising to see how many people turned up at the Carillon on opening day, Anzac Day 1932 to pay respect for those who went to the World War 1 and didn't make it back. One interesting thing that I liked was the writing that said, “They gave their lives for their country that we might live in peace”. Wellington would have been really packed when the Warrior’s casket was placed on the back of a gun carriage for the funeral procession through central Wellington, watched by an estimated 100, 000 people. I really enjoyed learning about the Unknown Warrior. The war Memorial is over 50 metres.

Visiting Damian O’Connor.

I found it quite interesting how parliament works and what position you are in and what you can do about bad things that happens in our area. You have got a lot of photos on Google Images! It was awesome to see you on real life not on TV.

Te Papa

2012-03-09T13:01:00.004+13:00

It was really fun to look around and see all the ancient clothing and tools they used to have

It was interesting to find out about all the English people that came over in ships because of hunger , money and natural

disasters .When we were at Te papa Hope, Asher, Tania and Fletcher Had to act as a family in a cramped up in a hole in the ship Where they had to sleep, eat and go to the toilet in. The best part about Te Papa was the awesome forces and all the activities that we could do.

2012-03-09T12:46:00.000+13:00

We had an awesome time at lazerforce it was the bomb from playing around with the guns and armour suits, to shooting in the maze against the opposition.

I also enjoyed the extra time on the games at the end of the laserforce.

We had to know how to hold the gun and how the armour operate it.

Museum of Wellington City and Sea.

2012-03-09T11:28:00.001+13:00

In Wellington one of the Museum staff was showing us around the Museum of Wellington City and Sea and telling us lots about the early settlers and war. It was really fun and we all enjoyed it! I liked the movie that they played for us and I was interested about their photos and how they all looked sad and didn’t smile, because they might only get one photo of them in their whole life and they had to sit still for five minutes while the picture was taken! I’m glad we only have to sit still for a few seconds to get our photos taken!

The awesome experience at Wellington Zoo!

2012-03-09T11:23:00.000+13:00

A zoo staff by the name of Hilary had come to teach us about the animals and the way we can help the environment. I enjoyed learning about all the animals such as, the hedgehog, rats, lizards and the different kinds of fish, and the Tiger skin was awesome! Thank you also for the wonderful experience to walk around the life inhabited area full of wonderful and amazing creatures.

The animals were all so beautiful and well behaved while we were there and posed for the camera wonderfully.

I enjoyed learning facts about animals and the way we can destroy their life by cutting down a few trees in their habitat. I also learned a sign that shows that it does not come from an animal’s habitat but has been planted down so that when fully grown it can be cut down without hurting any animals that live there.

The otters where wonderful swimmers and posers at the same time. The baboons where very interesting and the baby’s where so cute!

The African Village was amazing! The drums where so detailed and the place where they cook and sleep was also very interesting. The goats in the village where very lively and so where the chickens that went clucking around the area.

All the animals where well behaved and looked very smart and intelligent as I am sure they acted.

This Term Room 4 have been learning about our strengths,some of my strengths are explorer, where I like to discover new things and EXPLORE new possibilities.Another strength of mine is being a collaborator,I like to work in teams when playing games or be in groups when having to do tasks and problems.

Last week we had to work on our PLPs(personal learning plans),we had to fill out this sheet of paper that told us about our goals,strengths and what we are learnign and want to get better at. The following week there was parent interviews and when it was my turn to tell my Mum about it I had to ask them questions like if there is any way that they could help and support me in any of my areas that I needed more help in. I am quite excited also to be able to teach some of the little kids some of my strengths that i can pass on to them.!!

Wellington Zoo

2012-02-14T16:59:00.002+13:00

Hi Risaleanna, Liam, Tangiwai, and the rest of Room 4,

Thanks for your letter about coming to the Zoo. I bet you are all gettiong really excited about your camp!

From the train station you can catch the number 10 bus to the Zoo. You can also catch the number 23 bus from Lambton Quay, which is a street near the train station. All you need to bring is suitable clothing for the weather, your cameras, and a sense of adventure, because you are coming to visit the best little zoo in the world! :)

To make your experience even better, you can start thinking about questions you would like to ask about the Zoo. You are going to be learning all about the amazing animals we have, both native to New Zealand and exotic species, from all over the world. You could start thinking about the things you can do to help take action for endangered animals; I would love to hear your ideas when you get here.

I look forward to meeting you all on March 6th.

Kind regards,

Lynn

The True Meaning Of Christmas

The true meaning of Christmas is love. God loved His own and provided a way—the only Way—for us to spend eternity with Him. He gave His only Son to take our punishment for our sins. He paid the price in full, and we are free from condemnation when we accept that free gift of love. "But God demonstrated His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"

On Tuesday night I was supposed to be going to the celebration night but Mum had to work so she couldn't take me. Instead of being at celebration night I was at home. Then I found out it was dinner time, so I went to the table and had dinner with Abbey, Levi, Dad, and me. After dinner I watched the amazing race on tv, and at 8:30 I got ready for bed and read a book.

We had to show our parents the work that we done so far this term and celebrate God Is Faithful. I heard that everybody had a great time.

First Day of School

2011-12-05T10:26:00.000+13:00

First Day of School

It was the first day of school. The muted morning light was still new in the sky when I woke up. For the past few weeks I had been so excited bout starting school at West Hill High but this morning I didn’t feel like even getting up. As I was lying in bed trying to come up with a excuse for not going I realized that there was absolutely no way mum’s gonna let me out this one. I sat up in bed and pulled my warm woollen blankets off me and felt the stinging coldness in the house, the new house was freezing, especially this time of the year and my room didn’t get any sun during the day. I stared out the window at the thick forest just outside at I wriggled into my new school uniform. It was hideous, the way it hanged on my like a curtain and the yellow of the top made my skin look pale.

Mum had offered to take me to school in the car but I needed some fresh air so I decided to walk. I knotted my long red hair into a shift bun, grabbed my school bag and headed out the door.

Early morning fog blanketed the world in blue-ish grey as I walked across our yard towards the forest.

TO BE CONTINUED…. MAYBE :P

2011-11-28T14:09:00.001+13:00

Rugby cards are a very fasinating thing. I have 1995 rugby cards and 2003 cards, 2004 cards, the new cards and more. Parents, have you ever felt like throwing rugby cards out becsause your kids don't want them? Well I am collecting all sorts of rugby cards and I would appreciate it heaps if you might happen to have some that you don't need. Also maby if you have some family memembers that might happen to have any than that would be great. So if you could let me know if you have any them that would be awesome. THANKS A HEAP!!!
Kind Regards,

0n Friday the 4th of November Aroha, Cora, Tui, Ethan, Kase, Asher, Risi, Pearl, Liam, Petoru, Pamela, Tangiwai, Me and Monica went to Nelson to play Ki-O-Rahi.

There were many teams but we only got to verse three teams.

We lost two of our games so we didn’t get in to the final.

On our last game against Nelson Intermediate they cut

it was an awesome day. Our game was short because it was starting to rain, but we would have won if we had a full game.

WINTER SPORTS
Tuesday the 29th was a chaotic day for all as kids bustled around buzzing with excitement. Tasman schools from all around were all getting ready for a day of winter sports. The sports that Tasman Bay Christian competed in involved netball and soccer.
The weather turned out wonderful with a sunny sky. All schools were enjoying the sun before they all had to run onto the courts or fields. Soon teams were huffing and puffing around already exhausted before lunch break.
The schools that competed in winter sports were TBCS, Riwaka, Mapua, Parklands, Upper Moutere, Tasman, Lower Moutere, Brooklyn, St Peter Chanel and Motueka South. All the schools competed brilliantly.
The end result in netball was that Parklands won 1st prize and Mapua, Upper Moutere and St Peter Chanel came 2nd in a 3 way tie. The day was fun for everybody but by the end of the day everyone was glad to go home.

Making a Poster

2011-11-18T10:16:00.000+13:00

This term our schools main focus is 'God is Faithful'. Mr Mathews asked me and a couple of other people to create a poster that includes, 'The big idea - God is Faithful', 'The Key Understanding - Gods Faithfulness is worth celebrating', and 'The Focus Question - What can we celebrate about God?'. So me, Tori, Asher and Risi packed on the task of making the poster.

At first we had to decide on the layout, fonts and colours we're going to use. I said we should write the 'big idea' in block letters, Risi then said it should be written in an arch. Tori decided on the colours and choose a light blue backround with yellow, orange, red and green lettering. We all agreed that our plan looked great and that we should start on the poster.

As we created our poster it was looking better and better, we were really happy with our god work.
When we finished, we all took a step back to look at our poster and it was amazing. Iwas quite surprised that I was part of making it! We were all pleased with it and showed Mr. Mathews and he loved it. We then decided we should put it up on the back wall of the classroom.

I really enjoyed making the poster and I am proud of it. :)

Go T.B.C.S!!!

2011-11-18T09:38:00.000+13:00

Yesterday was an extremly exausting day for me as I had to race in the Baton relay, Nuedorf shield relay and then the fastest girl race.

On the fastest girl race I was really close from winning but the girl next to me won by a foot.Even though I came second I enjoyed giving it a go and hopefully I will get another chance at it next year. The results for everything else was fantastic.

Junior Ball Relay: 3rd place
Senior Ball Relay:4th place
Junior Baton Relay:3rd place
Senior Baton Relay:5th place
Nuedorf Sheild Race:3rd place
Fletcher ran in the fastest boy race and came in 3rd place
Andre ran the second fastest boy race and came in 3rd place
And I came in 2nd place in the fastest girl race.

Well done everybody!!

Athletics in the field!

2011-11-18T09:31:00.000+13:00

The hand bell rang and the top fastest kids in our school went on the bus at 1:00pm and headed to Upper Moutere to compete in the Athletics cups. Such activities were... the junior ball relay, the senior ball relay, junoir batton relay, senior batton relay, fastest girl and the fastest in the school. Miss Aldridge was talking to us about since we are a Christian School we should show our behavior in the way we act. As we headed to the field they people holding the Athletics day talk to us and then asked us to come to the front of the building to show our respects to those who went to the war and lost their lifes to free our country and also to sing the National Anthem. Children from diffrent schools went and put flowers around a statue and then stepped back and for a couple of secounds in silence bowing their head to remember them before going back into the crowd. After the tNational Anthem we walked back to the field and the sports began. First up was the junior ball relay and we came 3rd in that, then there was the senior ball relay and we also came 3rd in that. Couple of minutes later the junior ball relay was on and they did really good coming 4th as for the senior batton relay we came 3rd again!!

Fastest girl was Risi coming a whopping 4th place! Go Risi! And the for the fastest in the school was Fletcher who ran really well and came 3rd!!
Over all we came 3rd in the whole thing!!
On the way back Miss Aldridge told us how well we all did. Nexts year I'm hoping to do the whole Athletics not just the ones for the cups.

Big celebration night!

2011-11-18T09:30:00.000+13:00

Celebration night! There is going to be a big celebration night on tuesday 6th December where all the kids parents can come along and have fish and chips on the deck at 6:15 pm at school followed by an open class time where the kids can take the parents round all the classes to see the work that they've done over the last term! See ICT in action and try some of the neat programs; And be entertained by some of the awesome writing the students have been doing this year. Your child will show you how to solve some tricky maths problems. And we will have a summary of the topic areas we have covered and some of the events and activities that made up those topics.
The celebraton night is going to be really cool so make sure you and your family come along.

Encoarage dreams.
Never stop caring.
Devise crazy schemes

My Awesome Thing.

You know when you’re using felts and one runs out, so you have to get another one? Instead make your own. “But how do you actually make it?” you ask. This is how… I really don’t know, ask a professional, they’ll know.

Don’t ask me. Well, you could but I don’t know.

Let’s just get back on the subject…

Awesome things: Spider

Don’t you ever wonder why people get scared of a spider? I know they look pretty scary, but why do you get scared over a little spider? It is so small and it can’t eat you in one gulp. It’s really weird how some people get scared or an 8 legged bug that is the size of an eye ball.
