2010 Cross Country

On Monday 6th of September the Senior School had Cross Country. It started at nine o'clock with the year 5 girls. In that race Jamelia came first, Hannah came second, and Amy came third.

The second race was year six boys. First was Fergus, second was Jordan and third was Kurtis.

Lucky last was the year 6 girls. Sophie came first, Jaime came second, and Aimee came third.

The people who came up to 8th they get to go to Inter schools. Also the people who came 9th or 10th are reserves.

It was a fantastic and tiring day but all that training payed off.

A BIG thank you to all the parents and teachers who helped and supported us. Also a BIG thank you to Miss Firth who was our sports coordinator.

Inquiry Learning

Terracotta Warriors!

During week 3 Mrs Munro came and worked with us. We learnt lots of interesting things about the Terracotta Army. Our task was to convince Mrs Munro that it was worth while visiting the Terracotta Army and then plan her a trip from Auckland to Xian, China.

Fish

On the last day of Term 2 my dad (John) came into Room 21 and set up a filter so we could have some fish. He also put in some weed and even a little sign which he put in the fish tank that red NO FISHING! He said we had to keep the filter going over the holidays and then on the first day of Term 3 he would bring some fish into school so we could have them for are class room. So on the first day of term 3 he brought in some fish. In the morning while I was getting dressed ready for school my dad got them ready. He put them in a big bucket with water in it (of course) and got some fish food as well. When we got to school we took the fish and all of the other stuff out of the car and took it down to the class room. My dad tipped the bucket over the tank so the fish fell in. Then the bell rang and people started to come into the class room. Everyone was looking at the fish and we soon came up with some names: Bubbles, Fred, Charlie, Bob, Nemo and George.

Every week there is a new person from Room 21 that feeds them.
