Straight after the bell rang all the people came running outside their class and got a rope and started to line up in their class row for there skip off. The people that were in the skip off for room 10 is Fakaola, Me, Liza and Tristan. As soon as we lined up in our class rows for skipping we had to have our two feet's together and our ropes behind our feet to get ready to skip. After that Miss Riley the teacher in Room 9 said Ready Set Go then we started skipping. When I kept on skipping I felt really scared and nervous because I felt that I was going to lose but I came 4th place. The people that won third, second and was Meana came third, Fakaola came second and Limititi came first. Then lastly we had to put all our ropes away and went into class and Fakaola, Meana and Limititi had to take a photo for coming third place, second place and first place.

Kiwi Kids News- Make Matariki a holiday

Last week up and down the country people celebrated Matariki, the constellation rose on 25th June, beginning a month of celebration and recognition of the end of one year and the start of the next. It a chance to celebrate all that went on in the last year, to give thanks for food, family, friends and all that we have, and an opportunity to look ahead to all that next year will bring. But being so close to the Queen's birthday- for which New Zealanders get a day off- there are suggestions that there should be a public holiday to recognise such an important occasion, After all, the new year in January gets a public holiday.

Having Fun with St Kents

Today we had fun playing with St Kent's. We got split into 3 teams and each of the 3 teams went and played with St Kent's. My team played relays, touch and N ball. For N ball my team wore a red bib and the other team just wore their uniform. For me when I played N ball it felt fun, happy and I enjoyed it.

The Dangerous Game

Spirit Animals read a play called A Dangerous Game. The main idea of the play was that First-aide didn't want pop, Julie, Nathan and other students to play rugby because he thought rugby was a bad sport so he just wanted them to do warm ups and fitness.

My BFF Dominic

We took a photo so we could remember our most brave member Dominic going to another school. As soon as we took it I felt like I was going to cry because he was my BFF out of the boys.

How To Make A Cipher Wheel

For Spirit Animals we were making a cipher wheel and it said in the book that we needed scissors, stick tape, a ruler, a pen, a sheet of A4 paper and a cardboard tube at least 10 centimetres long (which is the wheel). After that it said to cut 4 long strips then grab small sticky tape then join them together. After that write a secret message and give it to a friend and they have to guess the secret message.

Learning about Tongan

This term our Inquiry topic was about Tonga. What I learned when I did my slide is that Tongan people wear Traditional clothes which the men's wear Tupenu which is similar to Sarong and women's wear a special clothing which is a Tapa. I just want to say thanks to Fakaola, Liza, Leanah and Sosuia.

The Duffy Show

On Duffy Day all the students in each class walked to the multipurpose room and went and sat down in front. The show began and then we sang the Duffy song. After that they started to explain what they were going to do for the show and they said they were going to save the day. When it started Duffy was reading a book then he saw a super hero flying through the clouds.

Duffy and Global Girl were trying to make the flower seeds to help save the world so they started a science experiment. They made it by putting green food colouring in a bottle and mixing it with water then when the water started to come up it just looked like it was an exploding volcano. After that we sang the Duffy song then we asked some questions  about the  Duffy Show and then after that walked back to our class.
