Milo Rugby Skills Day

Earlier in the term, Pt England School's year 3, 4, 5 and 6 classes had an experience of a lifetime! Alongside the Auckland Rugby Provincial team and Milo, a day was organised for us to learn some rugby skills. Both girls and boys took part. Some of us even got to meet players of the team. This is Sela's writing that she wrote about what happened during the Milo Rugby Skills Day. Listen as she explains what she enjoyed the most about the day and why.

Thank you Auckland Rugby Union and Milo!!

Brandon's Wormfly

Ever heard of a Wormfly? Brandon has worked extremely hard in writing his report about one. Listen carefully as he describes the physical appearance, habitat, diet and other facts about a Wormfly. Great work Brandon!

What's a Wormfly by Mary

This term our topic is called "Little Critters". For writing the children learned about report writing for insects and there were four main areas that they had to write about. They were: Physical Appearance, Habitat, Diet and Any other interesting facts. Then, the children had to write a report about a bug that was made-up and named by them. This is Mary's report and she has done an amazing job. Well done Mary!
