Marvel - The Book Of Knowledge Comes to Our School

'Maria'  aged 7 years...hahaha

Rocky, Marvel, Duffy sailing across the Seven Seas.

Earlier this term our school was visited by the Duffy Theatre troupe, and they brought with them, Marvel the Book of Knowledge. Marvel is a clever book who taught us all about the world. The Duffy actors used Marvel as a way of hooking us into reading. That was very clever because you can get lost in so many adventures inside books. Books can take us to new places, and experience new things, and to have fun along the way. The Duffy show was awesome and made us laugh all the way through. The three Duffy actors who came to present the show enjoyed reading and this has made us want to read more too.  Reading is learning, and learning is cool.

A Mean Aranui Performance!

Yee ha! Last Friday Aranui Theatre Company came to my school and presented our school with an awesome performance. They performed the Patutu Paiareherehe version of Rumpilstiltskin. It was so funny and interesting at the same time. Rana, one of the funny characters had us laughing right throughout the whole show. Their costumes were beautifully made. In the play the main character could turn harakeke into pounamu, the most precious stone.  

Honda MotorBike

On Thursday Honda Motorbike came to our school.
Quinn and Richard were our instructors.
They brought 6 bikes,two 70's for the learners with no clutch,two 80's for the learners who want to step up to the challenge and two 100's for the experts like me.
Watching everyone putting their helmet on all hyped up, scared to ride, yelling and laughing. It was a big experience for a few people.Riding two different tracks on the field was fun because the first one was for bike safety  and the second one was for fun.
When the learners finished, well learning on the 70's they moved onto riding the 80's and 100's.


The big motorbike day was full of laughter and reving motorbikes.Excitement running through peoples veins.Watching two people fall of was funny and showful.

The Star In THE Night Sky

It was a tepid and beautiful Sunday night so my dad decided that me Kohau , mum and George should go to Aunty Judys for dinner. When I arrived I could hear steake sizzling on the BBQ and eggs and potatoes frying in the pans. Next I helped set the table so we could have our yummy dinner. My billie was full so I undisputed to do some workouts by shooting some hoops . While  I was shooting hoops I sore the most stunning star up in the night sky.It was the most sensational star I have ever seen,so I told everybody to come outside to look at the star up in the night sky. We all watched the star for 2 minutes than we went to bed.

The Great Sunday Afternoon

It was a very hot Sunday afternoon When Madison and i.Decided that we would go outside and look at the garden. First me and Madison went to go outside and put on our shoes so we don't get clay mud feet.Then we walked around the house to the garden .After that Madison wanted to play in the water but mum said no baby might get sick. Next we ran back into the house just in time for mum to say lunch was ready we had meat with vegetables sandwiches .
