Shaun's Up Date

This week the boys class had one heck of a week because we had a really nice hangi ,fry bread and the beep test. I'll start with the hangi, we had it on thursday and it was the the nicest hangi we had ever had, the chops were cooked just right. We had to bring the vegetables so yeah. Now the fry bread . I had never tasted it in my life, we put golden syrup and butter on it and they where delicious and it turns out we are pretty good cooks and Carm's mum came in helped us with it. Alright now the beep test, there was a group of us that went first and they did really well the last person to get out was Cam he got 12.8 and thats pretty fast. Now the second group went ,and I was in that group, off we went to a good start when it got up to about 9.3. People got out and I was still in, Ben and Caleb as it reached 10.3 I dropped to the ground and I was puffing. Then Caleb got out but Ben was still going and the beep went off before he crossed the line and he hit the wall and he was stuffed he got 13 .6 that's really fast. It was a great week.

Fry Bread

Today we made Maori Fry Bread as part of Te Mahi Kai (Maori Language Week 2010) it was DELICIOUS! Thanks to Carmel, without you some of our bread would have been pancakes!! We ate it hot dripping with butter and golden syrup...YUM...

Jonty's update

Hi everyone, today we are painting our class window and it looks really awesome so far but it is going to look way better when its done.

Next week we have parent teacher interviews and we get a half a day on wednesday and we might also be going to the squash club to play some squash.

We are also working on our comics which really cool, my one is called the fluffy cat.

Tomorrow we are facing the netball A team it is going to be a bit of a challenge but I am looking forward to facing them.

Window Painting

Team Building Kayaking Day-Term One

Mr Haydon took us to Wharewaka Point in our first week of the year. This was a cool way to bond as a class.

latest blog from Ben

On the 14th of June our class had the semi finals for interclass soccer. It was a tough and a competitivebut fun as well. There were some pretty amazing shots (from lewis) which was a fluke but sadly they won. At the moment we are making comics for english as nathan said on the last blog. We have also just started painting our windows writing (room 2) one letter for each window and I personally think it would look real cool. I'm looking forward to the netball game on Friday against the A team.
