Cross Country

We had an awesome Cross Country with a lot of students making it into the Bream Bay Inter school Cross Country. The students are now training hard for this race which is being held at One Tree Point School on Thursday.

D.O.C. Visit

On Friday we had a visit from D.O.C. Mr Blissett came to talk to the students and gather their wonderful ideas for the 'Kauri National Park Proposal'. I was amazed at the different and interesting ideas the students came up with.

Electricity Facts

Electricity is dangerous. Do not fly kites up by the power lines because if you touch the kite and the kite touches the power line you could get electrocuted. If you dig and you see an orange cap do not dig any more. Do not put a cord on spilt water because if the power is on and you touch it you will get fried like an egg.

Once there were three boys trading cards on top of a transformer. One of the cards slipped out of the boys hand and fell into the transformer. Well, these boys kicked the padlock open and reached inside. Electricity runs through these transformers so when the boy reached in the electricity was mad and it sprung through his body. He got flung onto the ground. Luckily he did not die.

Another interesting fact about electricity is that if there is a dead possum on the power line you need to call North Power to get it down because it damages the power lines insulation. If there is a possum guard it will be fine.

A Chicken in the Class

It was a little cuty and the class loved it to pieces. Jader was like, "Oh, cute. I want it." I said, "No, you can not have it." Even though she loved it to pieces. As the class was holding it I went to get my stuff to go to mums. When I got back Mrs Tornquist took a photo with me and Churps. That is what we called her because she Churps a lot. Later we left the school and we were happy the class saw Churps. Soon I was at my mums in her new house but that's another story. A few weeks later I saw my picture in the homework sheet. I was like,"Oh, my gosh. I got my picture in the homework sheet." When I got home I showed my parents it, they were happy.

Getting Katie and Michaels Pumpkins in to Room Six

After school me and Michael brought our heavy pumpkins into school for the pumpkin competition on Friday 15th April.First we had to put my one on a carrier then Andrea had to push it up the hill. The Carrier was very squeaky. My pumpkin must have been too heavy for the carrier but it did push it up the hill. Then when we had got it up to room six Andrea had to lift it up the steps. One, two, three and lift. Then Andrea rolled it to the corner of room six Mrs Tornquist went and got a camera,to take a picture of me. While Mrs Tornquist was taking pictures of me Andrea went back down to get Michael's pumpkin to bring to room six. Then Mrs Tornquist took some pictures of Michael. After that we hopped in the car and drove home.
