Our New Topic
Our new topic this term is weather. Our teacher thought
about an activity called Keeper of the Word. If you don’t know what that means
[keeper of the word] I’m going to tell you. Some examples are my friend Brandon
he has the word tornado, Poppy has snow, Trinity has temperature and I have
seasons. We look up what they mean and everything about the word, then we make
a word card for our word. After you have finished making the card, the teacher
will laminate it for your desk so anyone can look come to you to look at that
word.

Harold - By Gussie
On Monday the 14th May Harold came. Karearea went in his truck for the first time after lunch, we learnt about decision making. Seeing Harold was fun! One of the activities we had to do was decide what place was better to go to on a pretend holiday out of the North Island, Fiji or New York,(Miss Gorman apparently won lotto)Genevieve told us all these choices. We got to go to Fiji for five days also we got to go up to the North island for two weeks we got to go to New York for a month and we got all these choices of how much money we would spend in each place. The most money we got was in the North Island we got $1000 dollars a day for doing nothing from Miss Gorman ,we got $5000 dollars from Miss Gorman on the plane. In the end we spent all the money in New York! Making the decision was hard. Then when we finished Harold told us a joke the joke was when do trees smell? When their leaves blow off. The next day we went and we learnt about the body we learnt how the body works and what was good for your body and what was bad for your body Drugs are bad for your body! By Gussie

At the start of the term we started a book called Nicholas he’s a cool French boy. He’s got a friend named Alec if you meet him make sure you don’t make him drop his chocolate croissants or else he’ll moan and ask for another one. There is a goody good kid named Cuthbert there is a bully called Eddie he thumps everyone accept Cuthbert. There is a principal named old spuds the kids call him that because spuds have eyes.

A duathlon is when you run 2km; bike 6km and then run again we had to run 1.5km and after that we had to wait until the last person finished. Then we came to get our bike so we can go home.
