Cross Country

We had an awesome day at the Bream Bay Cross Country. Paige stood out with a fourth place and Bob with a fifth place. Over all Kaiwaka School came fourth. I was really pleased with the way our school supported all runners - especially Lennox.

Te Hana Trip

We were lucky enough to visit Te Hana Marae. The Whanau Committiee raised the money for us to go. It was an awesome day.

Leaf Fight

One day when the Year 5/6 and Year 3/4 were at Rippa Rugby the studetns who did not go had a leaf fight. It was lots of fun.

Soccer

This term Owen has come to teach Room 5 and 4 soccer. We are getting really good.

Visit to Mr Ottaway's Bakery

On Thursday Mr Ottaway invited us to visit his bakery. It was amazing!!! Not only did we get to look around but we also got to make our own buns. Mr Ottaway then baked them for us and brought them up to school. We got to eat them just as they came out of the oven. He also gave all the students a cream bun. Yum!!!

Manu Tukutuku

This week we have been making kites. Room 5 made 'Birdman'kites.

Ra Kai

On Wednesday we had a Ra Kai day where we shared lunch with the whole school. It was not just any lunch however but a special lunch because we made it ourselves. Room 2 made balinies, Room 3 made ginger beer, Room 4 made pizza and Room 5 made cream and jam buns. We practiced making buns experimenting with what part the yeast played. First using yeast and then baking with out yeast.

One week passed and he started to teach maths and reading.It was fun that he could teach us new things but we could also teach him new things.Mr Noser then begun to teach us about moving picturs it was a long process of making a short clip by taking pictures then play them extremly fast to create our own movie.[We might be famous we thought in our heads.] After the super short holidays we came back to school and we continued as a normal class learning to make movies.Lately we have been doing voice clips ,script writing, pictures and we have also been making caracters we made stick figures [made out of real sticks] and also we made wire men and then finaly started to make our movies.Our movie is about Kauri Snails that are very rare and found in the Northland New Zealand.
