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 because Mr Henderson did not have on his seat belt, that was a bit scary as they all carry AK47s!
See you next week!!
Mrs H

The Burj Kahlifa - driving past it today and the largest gold and diamond ring in the world!

    Hi Mrs H
    Sounds like you have had a lot of fun in Sri Lanka. Mr Henderson is very naughty. That ring must be very valuable having diamond and gold in it and those beaches sound fancy from looking at the images of them online.
    I look forward to seeing you again, Chelsea. :D

    Hi Mrs H
    The temperature is very hot over there it is pretty cold hear put it heats up as it gets later in the day
    It is wonderful to hear about how you are going in Dubai. It would be very scary about how they carry a AK47 around. That is a huge ring you got a photo of. What is a tuk tuk?
    It is very naughty of Mr Henderson not wearing a seat belt!!

    Hi Mrs H,
    The temperature is very hot down here. It sounds like you had a great time. It would be very scary if a police came up to you with an AK47. It was very naughty of Mr Henderson to not be wearing a seat belt.

    Kia-ora Mrs H.
    I wonder who made the biggest ring in the world? Did the police officer pull out his AK47? Tuk tuk is an unusual name for a bike crossed with a car! In the poor parts of Sri-Lanka what do they sleep in? From Eden

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.

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...
