Our Own Garden

This term we have decided to grow some vegetables. We have planted them into pots so we can take them inside at night. The girls had fun don at the shop choosing their plants and planting them.

My New Puppy Fern

Hi my name is Holly and I just got a new puppy. She's a girl called Fern named after the Black Ferns. she is a black Labrador. She's soooo cute!!! Fern is very playful. If you lie down at the edge of a deck she will come as fast as she can, run, skid and pounce on your head. She will try to bite your head, hair or hand but only playful bites. She is a very kind dog. We feed her Pedigree dog food and she loves it[sometimes a bit of our food too]. Fern has her own stash under our deck bench where she can only just fit, because all her toys are in there. I'll list them; a salmon tin, chippy packet, sandy the duck, 3 tennis balls, a rope toy, a teddy, Gigger the kiwi, grey fluffy rabbit[not real], a white polar bear, and 2 squash balls. I think that's all. O.K. bye for now.

Karimas Bunnys

Whoa! These bunny's are so fluffy everyone in Room Five had held these cute bunny's. Their names are Patches and Toffee. When I held Patches he was squirming trying to get out. When I held Toffee she was all ready tired. Well, I could have written this in my writing book but instead I need to share the news.

Room5 Kaiwaka School's Goldfish

Hi Pakiri School, its Donnya from Kaiwaka School. We also have Goldfish just like you. We have eggs now. We did not know what they were so we called them Snishes that means half fish and half snail. We decorated our bowl with rocks, little colourful stones, a starfish and oxygen weed because our star fish stopped working but it finally started working. We feed our fish once a day. What about you? We only have three fish. When we first got our fish they were very shy. The thing was that one of the fish was bleeding because the two black ones were picking on it so we had to get another one but it is not getting picked on. I hope your Goldfish are alright.

Speech Content

Hi my name is Kalani and I won the speech finals for the year 6. My awesome speech was about Daniel Carter from the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team. He plays first five, number 10. Daniel Carter is the kicker for his team. He also plays for a team called the Crusaders known as Canterbury South Christchurch in the South Island of New Zealand. Daniel was having surgery on his ankle but I think it's all right now.

Speeches

On Wednesday we had our speech finals. The students were amazing and I was so proud of the work they put into their speeches. Mrs Tornquist
