Museum Trip

On Wednesday the 1st of June Rooms 4, 5 and 6 went on a trip to the Auckland Museum. We went in to the Maori culture and Polynesia parts of the museum. The trip was very interesting and we have learned a lot about the Pacific Islands and Maori culture. The Pacific Island section of the museum was very helpful because Rooms 4, 5 and 6 are learning about this. Room 6 students are doing studies about 4 of the countries in the Pacific. The museum was a big help to all of us to help us understand more about what we are learning about.

She walks in smiley as always. Her bouncy ginger hair is captured by a blue hair tie. Her black and sparkly socks wrap around her legs to keep them warm. She has freckles glued all over her face. Her raging red checkered jacket falls over her shoulders. Her teeth are white like the clouds in the. Two fiery bits of hair drip down past her eyes.

Question letters

Dear Holly,
How was my week? It was incredible, but the flight was not as outstanding as I thought it would be. Did I have a grand ride? Well yes the elephants were so loyal and it was so peaceful, but scorching hot so we had a little bath in the pure aqua water. When am I coming home? I don’t exactly want to came home it is so lovely here, but my two weeks is nearly up so I am going to make the most of it. I might go and trace some glorious gorillas.

Athletics Day

On Wednesday the 6th of april we had athletics day. Schools from all over came and we did all sorts of activities. The highlight of the day for me was the finals. But it was a bummer when we all found out there was no relays.People were selling drinks and sausages and many people were there and I'm sure everyone had a good time. I'm glad to hear that many tomarata student's did well in the athletics day.The hardest things was the 400m but it was a great day after all.The day after that everyones legs were sore.

EWES Inter-school Swimming Sports - Fri 4 March on PhotoPeach

Rodney College Head Boy and Girl visit to Room 6 - Wed 23 March 2011 on PhotoPeach

Visit from head boy and girl of Rodney College

On Wednesday 23rd March Room 6 had a visit from the head boy and girl from Rodney College. They came to talk to us about leadership and the responsibilities of being head boy and girl. At the end of their talk Room 6 had a chance to ask questions. Some of our questions really made them think. They talked about when they went to a leadership camp and about some the things they did. They ended up showing us some of the games that they played. But then it was time to go and so we said goodbye and thank you. I think Room 6 learned a lot from them about leadership and also had a lot of fun.

Some of the roles they had were cadets, Surf life saving, whanau leaders etc. We had a great time with them and we learnt lots!

One sentence stories

As the water came crashing down over the streets I heard screams and scared people crying then it was all over.

And there came the big black water streaming past me at 100kms an hour flooding everything in its way, pushing cars into brick walls then the water was at my feet.
