ARBOR DAY PLANTING

Our Weekend By Claudia and Emma

On Friday we drove to the Sands Motel. It took two  and a half hours. When we got there I put my bag away then I went for a swim in the sea. Me and Jake went to get our boogie boards.  I went in the sea with Ruby, Lucy and Yasmine. It was an awesome weekend. By Emma

On Sunday I went to flipaball. It was at Dio. Our team was called White.  The other team was called Blue. We got in the pool then a man blew a whistle for the game to start. In flipaball you can not walk with the ball. You are not allowed to push the ball down to the bottom of the pool either. You can swim with the ball or throw it to someone in you team. If you are close to your goal you can try to throw it into the goal past the goalie. After the game you get out of the pool and go to the team coach and you get some lollies and the coach gives out a player of the day trophy to one of the team. By Claudia

My Week at a Beach House By Eli

Last week I went to my friend's bach. When  we got there we played my new angry bird game. 

The next day we went in the kayaks.  First we went under the car bridge and then we saw a pukeko. We followed the pukeko  into the sea. We went out so deep that we found a rock pool. Then we had to go back for dinner. 

The next day we got up, had our breakfast and went outside and played cricket Next we went inside and played my angry bird game again. After that we had dinner and went to bed. I stayed up so late that I finished my 13 story treehouse. Finally we had to leave. On the way back we had a big reststop and then we went home. The end. By Eli

Wonderstone and Obsidian by Nevan

On Wednesday Sussane gave me some wonderstone and some obsidian. I was so amazed! The wonderstone feels so smooth. You can make lots of different things with it like stone houses. Sometimes you can even make stepping stones with it. Sussane has got lots of different minerals and rocks. Wonderstone can be found on Great Barrier Island. You have to go there by boat. I have no idea where you find it on Great Barrier Island though! You can try it yourself if you want to. Obsidian can be smashed but you can't smash it with your hands. It is a very hard thing to get. It is made by boiling hot lava going into cold water. You can find it in Australia.  Sometimes you can get it in New Zealand but not always! By Nevan   

Nevan's Leaf Bug

On Thursday I went to the senior playground and I saw Eli. He helped me make a bug made out of leaves. I got some leaves then I got some flax and joined them together. Hopefully I will finish it  soon. I will put sticks on it for the legs and maybe red berries for the eyes. It will look so cool. Maybe I will do patterns on it with a sharpie pen to make it look even more awesome. I will attract bugs into a bug house, that I haven't made yet and lock them in it. So I will need to study some bugs. by Nevan.   

Preparing for our ALOHA stall

The theme for the Room 15 Aloha night stall was THe Wild, Wild, West. The stall was a sausage sizzle stall. Nevan's dad made a really cool cactus and Eli's mum painted it. We put lots of wanted posters all over the stall. We, with the help of Room 9,were the stars of these posters.

Our job was to dress up as olden day cowboy gangs. We had some costumes to choose from.

I chose a perfect costume! I looked in my costume box and I fond my old cowboy costume! I thought it would be a really good costume for cowboy photos. So I brought it to school and I was one of the first people to have a photo.

Planting Cress Seeds

I am planting my cress seeds. First I put some dirt in the little plastic container. Next I got eight seeds and dropped them in but not too close together. Then I covered them over with a little more dirt. Next I squirted a little water on it. Lastly I put it in the tray with the others that have already started to grow.
