Shakeout day.

Today we had a practice if their was an earthquake in Rotorua because it was national shakeout day we practice at 9.26. We think it was at this particular time because it links to today's date 26.9.12.

Big eyes to see you with.

This is me with my two huge mandarins. They look like gigantic eyes.

Joining words and phrases

We have been working hard in R9 to use joining words to either link ideas or to add more detail.

Cyber bullying.

Today the middle and senior school went to see a show acting out cyber bullying. We learned lots of things that we're not meant to do on the Internet. Like going on websites for adults or seeing bad language. Another thing we learned about was that when your texting people might say things that you might think of in a different way. So if someone texted you and gave you a nickname you might take it seriously.

pre

We found out that "pre" means before. 

Dance, dance, dance

Today we had lots of fun with Miss White dancing. We had to get into groups of three and make up a dance move that says "hello." We had heaps of fun and are going to do it again in two weeks.

Caleb the pirate

Today for art we drew pictures with Miss White, First we had to draw a picture of someone holding something from memory, like carrying my birth certificate. Next we got to draw Caleb he was dressed as a pirate we thought that, that was easier because we could see what we were drawing in front of us.

Today we had a special visit from Eliotte's cousin Fiona bourke who told us lots about rowing, she was even in the Olympics rowing with her team and there the team that broke their oar. Fiona was disappointed that her team placed 7th but after a while they didn't think it was so bad because they are 7th best in the world. . Fiona started rowing in 2008. Fiona was very lucky to meet lots of other famous people and to get into the Olympic's.
We're very proud of Fiona and her teammates.

Go Fiona!!!!!!!

Spring time

On Saturday I went to Alex's house and we fed the very very hungry lambs, my favorite lamb was so small its name was Cutie. The lambs really really loved the powder milk and they were jumping around like tiny kangaroos! I felt happy, excited and I really enjoyed feeding the lambs.

Molly's giant trout battle

On Sunday Mr James witnessed a gigantic battle between Molly and an enormous trout. Molly pulled and pulled, the trout pulled and pulled. In the end Molly's superior strength and cunning battle tactics won out and she pulled ashore what is truly a giant form the deep. Well done Molly, oh and by the way she won the Sinclair cup ahead of her brother.

Mr Hall

Today we had Mr Hall read to us and he read Bad Jelly the witch. Mr Hall is Charlotte Hall's dad. This story is about a witch, two children, a cow, mouse, and eagle. The class really enjoyed it.
