Week 5 already???

-
Wow this term is going so fast! This week we started with ElGregoe and his amazing magic and anti bullying show. It was such fun - quite a few of our students were called up to help out ElGregoe with some tricks - it was very funny.
We also had the Swim Safe people in - that is so important for us, because we do not just swim in the ocean up here in the Far North, but in rivers and stream where there are rocks and branches that can be dangerous, especially after a storm! (Not to mention the big eels!)
This week we have been busy doing persuasive writing - we are getting pretty good at this. The ultimate is for Richie Macaw to come to our school by helicopter!  I am sure he will love all our letters so much that he will not be able to refuse!
The parents all had a meeting last week and decided that the ski trip in August to Mt Ruapehu should go ahead - that is pretty exciting for all of us, BUT now we need to raise a whole lot of money so we can go. If you have any great fundraising ideas for us please share them - we need all the help we can get!










Georgia did a fantastic colouring trick with ElGregoe and Shaedyn made an awesome puppet!!

    Hi there Team Moana, My name is Tufui I am a student from Wesley Primary school. I like the way you have introduced us to what you guys have been doing. This reminds me of when we did a play about Mediating. Maybe next time you could take a video of your play so we can see it too.

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 ...

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...
