First Day at School

 Yesterday was the first day of school and it was fun waking up early and meeting the old Room 3 people that are now Room 4 people. It was fun getting ready for the school year, I like doing the title pages. I had to drive to school, because it was pouring down with rain, but today the sun is shining and I think it is going to be another good day.

Whale & Dolphin Show

 Blog Update

Last week we had a whale and dolphin show. We got to learn about lots of different dolphins and whales. 

My favourite was the Mickey Mouse dolphin which is the rare New Zealand Hectors Dolphin unique for its rounded dorsal fin.

Whales have really loud calls, they can call from Motueka to Christchurch. They use their loud calls to attract mates.

Talent Show

 I am excited for the talent show. 

I am singing,  which might be a back fire, because I get stage fright!

 This week we are going to start swimming in the pool and I hope we will get class swims after lunch as the teachers are trying to sort times for class swims.

 On Wednesday we had shared lunch, where you got a type of  food from another country.

We had Phoebe on Monday and Mr T on Tuesday.

We have athletics and Toi tangata coming up next6 week.

On the 28th November some of us do kapa haka with other schools.

Festival

On Sunday the 26th of October we had our Ngatimoti Festival.

I helped Hobbit set up the music truck on Saturday before the Festival. I helped set up the stage by placing the flooring. I was not good with the screw driver but I tried.

I got up early on Sunday and came down to the Festival. We walked for ages because we had to park a long way away. Mum had to work at the Gate so mum gave me some money to spend at the Festival while she was working. I got lots of cool things. I then had to work on the Plant Stall. We had been working hard in class to grow and look after the plants to sell. 

I had to use a calculator to help work out the right amount to charge and change to give back. I also worked on the cow pat bing stand, which is where people buy a square and if the cow poops in that square then they win a prize. 

My favourite thing was dancing at the Festival.

Pet Day

 Pet Day

Last Friday was Pet Day at school.

My sister and I brought two rabbits to school.

Our rabbits are called Bun Bun and Cinnamon. 

They are brown rabbits and they eat juicy grass and they also like scraps, especially carrots.

They don't have thick hair so we don’t have to brush them but they do shed hair everywhere.

Bun Bun and Cinnamon live in a large rabbit hutch. They get all their exercise in the hutch. Sometimes we get them out and play with them. They like lots of cuddles. They can be scratchy.

Bun Bun and Cinnamon both won prizes at the Pet Day.
