Cross Country 2014

-
What a great day we had last Wednesday.  So many schools and so many students!  Luckily it was fine for our annual Cross Country event.  As usual the parents at Ohaeawai came to the fore and baked amazing cupcakes, muffins, cakes and slices for our cake stall.  All of this to help raise funds for next weeks ski trip. The field looked great with gazebos and coloured t-shirts scattered everywhere.  everyone was well behaved and great sportsmen and women, supporting and cheering their classmates.  Room 2 students all ran really well, we did have a couple of mishaps on the track. The course is run over the local farm that surrounds Ohaeawai school, so there are quite a few obstacles to manoeuvre - fences, gateways, rocks trees, cow poo, it's all part of the experience. Luckily they are strong and determined and kept going - well done everyone!

    Hi Room 2
    We loved reading about the Cross Country day. Dulcie liked looking at the pictures you took. I liked the funny words you used to describe the day - Kayne.
    We agree that the food was delicious and everyone had a great day!
    We hope you now have enough money to go on your ski trip. We hope you enjoy your time away - especially the bus ride!!!
    Love Room 6

Dubai - SriLanka

Hi everyone, I finally figured out how to access the class Blog so here is my update. I wonder what the temperature is in NZ? It has been 37 most days here, one day even got up to 40🌞 We have been swimming in the Indian Ocean, Persian Gulf and the Bay of Bengal - can you find them on the map? Sri Lanka was a very different place to visit, definitely not a rich country like Dubai, there are a lot of poorer areas, but it has beautiful beaches and the National Parks are great. It is really really sad to see all the forests being cut down though, there have been 35 people killed by elephants already this year as the elephants come down to the people's farms looking for food. There are so many people in Sri Lanka, over 19 million, and their country is smaller than NZ. This made driving on the roads very interesting, there are cars, buses, tuk tuks, motorbikes and bicycles going in all directions. It was like being in a car rally every day! One day we were stopped by a policeman ...

Zoofari

Kia ora This week all of the Moana kids who hadn't been on a zoofari trip to Auckland Zoo before, got to participate in one. A zoofari is an overnight trip to Auckland Zoo where you get to sleep in the old elephant house where the elephants Burma and Kashin used to live. You get two guided walks around the zoo, one in daylight and one in the dark accompanied by zoo keepers who know all about the zoo and its animals. You also get some free time to roam the zoo with your teachers and the parents who volunteered to come along. On top of this you get a barbecue dinner and breakfast. Thanks to the generosity of Auckland Zoo, Ritchie's Bus Company and The Warehouse, all of this comes absolutely free! The only cost per kid is $10 to buy lunch and morning tea. So, 45 of us plus Mrs Henderson, Mrs Brajkovich, Mr Solly, Mrs Edge, Mr Palmer and Mrs Chamberlain zoomed down to the big city. We saw so many amazing animals and the whole trip was just marvellous. One of the highlights was...

Week 7 Term 1 Cricket Coaching

-
Kia ora 'Yippee!" we all yelled. It was a lovely sunny day at Ohaeawai School and we were all going out onto the field to have lessons in how to play cricket from a couple of professional coaches. They taught us all the basic skills first and then they taught a variation on the traditional game of cricket. This variation makes the game quicker and more exciting for children. We all loved it. Here is a video to show you how it works.
