Measurement
We are learning about words we use in measurement like long, short, skinny etc. This is our first lesson and we are using play dough to make different lengths and sizes.
Check our worms out!
My worm is fat and long.
It's skinny and it's long.
Food Gathering
What did the Maori use to carry food away from the river and ponds? This was a long time before supermarkets and plastic bags. They used the harakeke that grew by the river to make kete. We were lucky to be able to learn how to make our own kete. Does this mean we'll never have to go to the supermarket again?
Thank you to Pam or showing us how to weave harakeke.
Geometry Fun
We have been very busy learning all about geometry for the past three weeks in team Pohutukawa. Here is a picture of some of our brilliant children designing their own 3D shapes using nothing but sticks, blutack and determination!
Gallipoli
BANG…
“Look out!”
We run across the cold soft ground, dodging bullets. My heart pounds out of my chest, while people drop dead around us.
“We better go back!”
Suddenly my life-long friend drops dead. I run back. Blood, sweat and tears fall down my ice cold cheeks. I jump back into the trench. I feel like going home, but I know I must go on.
All of a sudden a horrible stench flouts up. I vomit. It just makes it worst. I can’t take it any more. My stomach rumbles. It sounds like a earthquake.

The light flashes. Red. Red. Green. The ship’s door opens. In two seconds I hear gunfire. The guy in the front is shot. Luckily I was at the back. I had to trample over him.
Suddenly I look at the bombers flying overhead. “Boom!” A grenade is thrown I see a grenade is thrown again. I am right by. It deafens me! I wipe the mud on my face. Red blood fills the beach and the water. We make progress. At 5pm we take over their trenches.
I see a head get blown off. I don’t really want to get up and shoot but I have to.
