Winter sports

 

Last Thursday room four had winter sports, some played netball others played rugby.

 The day had finally arrived, it was a sunny warm morning. Finally 9:30 had arrived, we had to go town to the courts at that time. I was very excited because I love netball! Its my favourite sport.

We had to find our bucket that had our name on it. We were all waiting for the games to start.

Finally we got to start, our coach had to get us in all our positions. I got to play GA! (Goal attack) I was excited but nervous. We were all standing in our positions waiting for the whistle to blow so we can finally start our game.

We played at least sixteen games. We lost two drew two and won the rest. Out of the whole thing we game second!

It was a very fun day. we all tried our best and we came second. We were all proud of ourselves.

Bye Aroha.

Ngarua caves

 

On Monday we (room 3&4) went to visit the Ngarua caves as part of our topic "God is the owner of the Earth.

We had to put on a blue safety helmet, because hard rocks could fall down & hit your head. Except from the guide (Amanda) she had a white helmet.

When we walked into the big cave, we had to go through a brown gate. To lead us into the cave we had to walk on slippery skinny stairs.

Inside the cave there were yellow shiny lights. They had switches on them to turn them on and off.

The cave was sort of cold like a frosty morning. Once you start to walk you get used to it.

Since there was bright lights, when our guide turns them of the cave is very dark. Before she turned the lights of, we all put our hands in front of our eyes and when the lights went of we couldn't even see our hands

Harold the Giraffe

 

For two days we have had the Life Education truck here. Harold the giraffe is NOT a puppet. He’s a real giraffe. We have learnt a lot in the two days. We learned about smoking & alcohol. We also learned about our bodies. We learned that smoking is not good for you and it can affect your lungs. We got a book that has lots of information in it about our bodies. When they turned the lights of there was lights on the roof, they are really cool. Everybody has different imaginations so the stars look like heaps off different things. For me they looked like Harold and it spelt education. The lady that was teaching us in the truck, gave us yellow bands that remind me of all the fun we had.

Auditory: (I'm good at high jump because I can jump high. High Jump: Organize a time & show a junior how to jump high.)

Review: My partner was Finn. I taught him how to do high jump. He achieved it because he was able to jump over the high jump and he taught Sophia who afterwards was able to teach him to throw and catch a netball 4.3.12

Dance: Show & Teach them a dance. (Justin Bieber) I am going to get a little kid and show them a dance.

 I taught Sophia how to dance. She did well but didn’t achieve because it was to hard for a little kid. 29.3.12

Review:

I succeeded with my first goal but on the second one it didn’t go so well. The kids tried their hardest but Sophia didn’t do so well although she did her best. 29.3.12

Motueka Cross Country

Cross Country

On Monday Tasman school invited us to kina beach for their school cross country. We had to run 3k like we have been running every day. The run was a fun run because we ran through a little bit of the forest and on the beach.  We had to run three laps of the course. After the 3^rd lap you had to run through the awesome finish line! I came 2^nd in my age group. After I had finished my race the little kids had their one and the needed an older kid to run with them, so i ran with Koru-Akei. He is quite a good runner, but he did find the course difficult. He came 4^th and did a really good job!

The New Net

On Monday Mr Troughton  and Mr Grainey  put a really cool net up. It’s really fun to climb on it, but little kids have to be careful because they can slip and fall. Sometimes it’s really hard to climb down because there's people coming up and they shake it. We all love the new net! I think it’s the coolest thing in the playground.

Autumn

Autumn:
Autumn is colourful
Autumn smells like rain and dirt
Autumn sounds like rustling leaves
Autumn looks like falling leaves
Autumn fells like frosty dew on the grass
Autumn taste like a hot chocolate
That is Autumn to me.

The Big Walk

On Friday Room 4 left at 9:00 to go on a walk to Apple Tree Bay.  We went on the bus to get to Able Tasman. When we got there we started we started walking to Apple Tree Bay.

We stopped at this little grass bit where we had our morning tea and then we carried on.  On our way Risi spotted a stingray just swimming around in the water.   There was also lots of waterfalls; some were big and some were just small.  The water was really pretty it was like a really clear blue.

When we finally got to Apple Tree Bay we were playing on the big rocks. Then we saw a cave and it was really cool, but it wasn’t really dark! Some people went in.

When it was time to walk back to Tinline Bay we all got together and started walking.

When we saw everyone there I was so excited.  My legs were so sore.  I just sat down and almost fell asleep, but we still had to walk back to the bus.  When I was walking back I was saying to myself, “Just think about sitting at home watching tv.”

When I saw the bus I was so glad! Finally the walk was finished! When we got on the bus, Cora and Me shut our eyes and fell asleep!

Our Walk

On Friday Room 4 went on a trip to Abel Tasman walk. It took us about half an hour on the bus to get there. When we got there we walked for half an hour and stopped and had morning tea.
Then we walked for a bit more and stopped at Apple Tree Bay and had some more food and a rest and a toilet stop.
After we walked all the way back until we got to Tin Line Bay and we had lunch and some of us had a swim and then we all walked back to the bus and went home.
But the BEST thing I liked the most was walking with Tori, Monica, Karene and Lilli and trying to keep up with Mrs. Rolls (and meeting a new girl called Lilli).

More Awesome Things - The Silent Moment

Don’t you just love it when all you can hear is birds chirping? I do.  It just makes me feel so relaxed. Lying down outside in a blue sky and your brother isn’t annoying you!

                      AWESOME!!

For the People of Christchurch

We wanted to let the people of Christchurch know that we are thinking of them and praying for them, so we decided to each use our strengths to encourage them.

From Karene

Dear Christchurch,

We hope that all the people who are trapped will be able to get out alive and that there will be no more earthquakes, so you can clean up the city.

We have heard about the robberies and feel sorry for you because you do not deserve any more grief than there already is.

From Hannah

May God give you "the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of despair".  Isaiah 61:3

From Asher

From Tania

                            Dear Lord Jesus

Christchurch has just had a very bad experience of a 6.3Earthquake. May you please help all the family and friends that are trapped in buildings and I pray that Christchurch will stop having earthquakes.

May you please bless everybody living in Christchurch and that you will heal all the people that are in hospital from having buildings

collapse on them.

                                            AMEN

Dear People of Christchurch,

I have heard about the earthquake. I’m glad people from different countries are helping people get out of rubble.

I’m very sorry if you have loved ones who have died or are still trapped.

I’m sorry for some of you that have lost your jobs in Christchurch I’m sorry if you got hurt in the earthquake.

We are thinking of you praying for you and raising money for you.
