Hello 2013

We have made a great start to the term in Room 9. We have only been at school a few days and already we have had a swimming lesson, met our buddy class and of course we are working hard.

The Button Box

Well done to everyone in the Middle Syndicate for their fabulous performances in 'The Button Box'.

Gumboots and Umbrella Day

Well done to all of those students in Room 9 who walked to school on Friday. Can you keep walking to school now?

Olympic Medals

What a great start to the morning. At 9.00 am Mr Wood (Bea’s dad) arrived in our class with not one, not two, not three but four real Olympic medals. The medals belong to Blythe Tait who won his medals riding horses at the Olympics. He won the medals at the following Olympics: Individual bronze medal at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992. A silver in the teams event at Barcelona in 1992. Individual gold medal and team bronze at Atlanta in 1996. Miss Rodger could not believe how heavy the medals felt around her neck. Thank you Mr Wood.

Holiday Photo Recount

I am learning to visualise a holiday photo in my head and recount the event. In the holidays I went in the car to Rotorua. I did lots of things. My favourite activity was going down the hill on the luge. It was crazy fun. I went one time with mum and one time with dad. By Kevin

Crocodile Descriptions

We have been learning to write a description. A long, long time ago there lived a crocodile who was fat and greedy. She lived in a murky river. She had eyes like meatballs and her jaws were sharp like a lions. Her mouth was wide open. She had a tail that was huge and a fat body. Her claws were as sharp as a knife. Her skin was bumpy and she had short legs. By Jenny
