Life education caravan


As we excitedly lined up with our teacher, Lynn politely asked us to take off our shoes and put it under the caravan. We lined up from tallest to shortest so everyone can see clearly to what were learning about, I was the tallest. Finally Lynn invited us into her caravan to see Harold. Harold is a giraffe thats goes school at the Safari Zoo.


My favorite highlight was doing the banana solute dance. First you had to sing this and dance it. Banana Salute, peel banana peel peel banana peel banana peel peel banana slice banana slice slice banana banana slice banana slice slice banana mush banana mush mush banana mush banana mush mush banana eat banana eat eat banana eat banana eat eat banana go banana go go banana go banana go go banana and that is the banana solute dance.

My Holiday

Waking up early in the morning to start my holiday was fun. I couldn't wait to start going somewhere with my family, but at the same time I missed my friends and our teacher.

My mum called me to ask me if I wanted to go with her to get some snacks and drinks. I answered “yes” as I ran to the car. It was so cool because my mum said I can choose some things for my cousins. So as soon as We got to Pak'nsave I went to buy a box of cup cakes, some drinks and chips. The things that I got for me was muffins and two cakes for the whole family. After that my mum told me to put it into the trolley and wait for her at the counter. I wondered what she was going to get but I doubt it was for me. When she came back she had lots of things for my niece cause she loves her so much!

Tactile Dome


At our trip to Motat we went to the Tactile Dome, it is my favourite highlight as I crawled with my friends through the dark and scary course. There was a huge net right in front of me but I was too scared to climb it. Finally I got rid of my fear and climbed like an afraid little girl.

My second highlight was the mirror maze, as I survived getting lost from one-hundred mirrors. At first I thought it was easy, but it wasn't, my heart was pumping as I lost my way out. Finally I saw my class running around beside me so I followed them and found my way out!

Sadly it was time to go. We got our bags and lined up with our class near the exit gate. We all said a big thank you to Fraser, who was the person that helped us at Motat and the parents that helped us. Then we tiredly hopped in the bus.

Mary V TAllest Tower Animation


On the first week of term 2 we got told from our teacher to make a tall tower out of paper. I chose to work with my friend, Zion, Turuhira and Dante. Mr S gave us a meter of tape, glue, big pieces of paper and a pair of scissors. When we started building our tower it started out rough because the tape was sticking to our fingers,The tape finally came off and Zion had an idea. Her idea was to stand up four circular legs at the bottom with one leg laid down at the top, we decided to keep on doing it until it was tall but our plan didn't work. Time ran out and we still hadn't come up with another idea. In the last minute we thought of an idea but it was too late, we didn't have time to make it.


As we watched the other groups bring their tower to the mat we were shy because we were almost the only ones that didn't have a proper tower. Mateo’s group had the tallest and strongest tower out of all the groups in our class so they won.

Swimming at YMCA



At school my class walked down to YMCA for swimming Lessons. As we went into the changing room to change into our swimming togs lots of kids from Glen Tailor were still changing into their uniform. After I was in my swimming togs I walked to rinse myself, there were some cold showers and some warm showers. All the warm showers were already used so I had to rinse at the freezing cold shower. Soon it was my turn to freestyle in the pools, I was so nervous. As soon as I pushed my feet against the wall to go I felt confident. I was so relieved when I finished swimming! I love swimming
