It was our second to last day at school and we decided to have some fun. Our first game was the chocolate game. There were two plates with a cake of chocolate and forks and knives on each. Children had to roll a six and put on three items: one on their head, one of their face and one on their bodies. If there were already two children changing and another person rolled a six then they had to tap one out and start putting on their costumes.<br />

<br />
The second game we played was the Balloon Stomp game. Each child was given a balloon and had to blow it up. They were given a piece of string and tied one end to the balloon and the other end to around their ankle. When the teacher said go, each child could run around and stomp on another person's balloon. Once your balloon is popped, you were out. The last person with their balloon still inflated and around their ankle was the winner. We had two winners yesterday: Kurtas and Simon but they were so good to include Noah as well.<br />

Over the last six weeks we have been learning about softball. We've had two coaches come and teach us skills of how to play. Thank you Miss Va'afusuaga and Kiwisport Auckland for teaching us. We love softball.

We had to postpone it twice earlier in term one because of the weather. We weren't too sure today about the weather because it was overcast. But from 12pm today, the sun came out. It was a great day and we all had a great time. Here is a short clip of some of the things we did.<br />

Our coach is teaching us skills to play the game first. Here is a short clip of us practicing our bowling. We need to keep our arms straights and it has to be an overarm bowl. We are trying really hard to hit the wickets with the ball.

The track is set around the outside of our school field and also goes around the junior and senior playground. It has been so much fun watching the men making it, hard at work. Our children have loved running over the dirt piles too. We can't wait till it's finished so we can ride our bikes on it.<br />

So far, we have learned about the different bases. A reminder for us is to make sure we touch the bases with our foot when we run around them. We also practiced our aim by throwing the softball and trying to hit the bat. Here's a short snippet of what we have done so far.

This term for Maori with Whaea Saf, we have been learning about a pepeha (which is a Maori mihi) that identifies not just Maori people but all people and where they come from. It helps people to recognise and make connections when they listen to people share their pepeha. We've also started learning a waiata. Do you recognise the tune?<br />

Last week on Friday, it was a farewell / "see you later" to <a href="http://pesclark.blogspot.co.nz/" target="_blank">Miss Clark</a>. She has taught in Year 7 and 8 for the past three years and is off to work in a different career path altogether. We will miss her and wish her all the best for the future. Here is a short snippet of our senior children singing a waiata (song) for her during assembly.<br />

Do you know what <a href="http://www.motat.org.nz/#/" target="_blank">MOTAT</a> stands for? MOTAT in Auckland, is the Museum of Transport and Technology. Our inquiry is called "Ch-ch-ch-ch changes" and it is all around Science and the Material World. We went to learn more from their programme called "Bust that Myth". Some of the myths included: You can turn a cup over without spilling water and Electricity cannot flow through people like wires and many others. Throughout the day, we got to explore and look at other exhibitions like: telecommunications, the Village, the Big Machine and the Get Smart space. It was a lot of fun even when the weather wasn't great and we learned a lot too. Thank you to Abby and her team from MOTAT who looked after us while we were there.<br />

They travel north, by bus to Sandspit and catch the ferry to Camp Kawau. We're very blessed to have parent helpers go along to help keep everyone safe. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The children will take part in different activities like: kayaking, sailing, swimming, hiking, building bivouac's, a burma trail and more. We hope that they are safe and that the weather is sunny and warm for all of them. All campers will return on Friday afternoon.</span><br />

<a href="http://www.variety.org.nz/" target="_blank">Variety</a> is an organisation that helps children all around the nation. Today at assembly, we had visitors from Variety come and gift our children with chromebooks for their learning at school. Here is short video of the children that received gifts today. We would like to say thank you to all who help this organisation to help children all around New Zealand. We are very blessed!<br />

During assembly we also had an ex student Tanielu Tele'a come and speak to the children about some of the things he has achieved and got up to while here and what he has been up to so far. We are all very proud of him. Tanielu is also Justus' big brother and he came and sat with him for a bit this morning in class.</div>

We have been talking about 'Gratitude' and what this means to us and what it would look like to others. Here is a short movie about what some of our children think gratitude is and what they are grateful/ thankful for. Thank you to all the children that helped make this movie.<br />

Today was a Point England school Olympic event. There were eight countries that children were divided into. Canada, South Africa, Brazil, Jamaica, Fiji, Ireland and Japan. Each country had four teams, seniors (Year 5-8) and juniors (Year 1-4). <br />

There were games for just the juniors and just the seniors. All teams had to compete against other countries. Third place was South Africa, second was Brazil and first place was Fiji. We've had so much fun.<br />

It was all about science experiments. Mr Somerville and Mr Goodwin looked at blowing stuff up (with dry ice), Miss West and Mr Baxendine looked at other experiments using dry ice and Mrs Moala and Miss Lavakula made a bouncy ball. Here are some photos and a short clip of what we did today.

School has begun and term 4 is finally here! This morning our school had an Immersion Assembly. It is the staff's way of introducing the inquiry to our children for the term. It is based all on Science and the material world. Here are some highlights of our assembly including Team 4's movie. Enjoy!<br />
