My Mum and I went to Zumba.  I did  some spelling.  I played  Bingo  on my tablet.  I spent most of my time dancing copying  lyrics.  I watched  The Big Bang Theory, Masterchef and some musical programs.

My Holiday in Samoa by Matthew

On Monday, the last day at school, I went with my Dad to Samoa. We went to the village, Aipa. My Grandma is living there, so we went to see her.  We spent the night there with them. In the morning,  I went to the beach with my cousin. It was so fun to swim in the sea. After that, we went back home in the rain.  Next morning it was my cousin’s wedding. There were lots of food there. We played some games and  touch ball was my favourite.It was so fun and after a week I came back home.

My trip to Manukau City by Joel

On Thursday week 2, I caught the bus by myself to Manukau. First, my Uncle dropped me off at the bus stop in Howick. Then I waved to the bus driver and the bus stopped. Next, I tagged on with my AT Hop card and I waved bye to my Uncle. Then the bus went off. The bus stopped at many different bus stops and at one bus stop, I saw Bradley waiting for another bus from my window. I waved to him and he waved back to me. When the bus stopped at my location, which is the MIT building, I tagged off the bus and went across the road to the mall. Meanwhile, when I was inside the mall I went into some shops like Countdown and the 2 Degrees shop. After the mall, I went across the road again to Rainbows End. I met my mum and I went home with her. It was really exciting to go on a bus by myself.  

     

  

Our trip to tickertape parade.by Julia

On  Thursday 6th of July, our class went to the America's Cup tickertape parade. We saw the dancing, airport band, Police cars and motorbikes. My favourite part was the airport band. The weather was raining and sunny. I saw  Peter Burling. I was soaking wet.   I felt both happy and nervous that I met Peter Burling. I was waiting for a long time. I was holding my  New Zealand flag.  I really enjoyed it.

Playing Soccer at the Special Olympics by Joel

On Monday the 26th of June, we went to the Special Olympics Football Tournament at Macleans College. I was in Shyama's car. When we got there we had a little warm up time before the opening ceremony. Then we got into our teams. I was on the "Eagles" team. Nex, we got into our first game. I was trying my best to get the ball off from the other team. At one time in the first game, Thiha was throwing the ball to someone, so I tried to go near our goal to try and help Thiha’s throw. But I missed that time. We won our first game 3-1. After we played the first game we went on and played 3 other games but we lost all of those games. Next, we went to the other side of the football ground and I played more of a free game. On that game, I dribbled the ball down the field and passed the ball to William. He got it into our goal. I was really proud of myself at that time! Then we had a little rest. After that, we sat down and they announced the winners. My team didn’t win but my team came 4th. After that, we went back to school. I had really fun time at Special Olympics Football Tournament. Next time I would like to try and get some more goals.

               

Learning about Food Pyramid by Mina

This term room 2 and my class is learning about the Food Pyramid. The food pyramid is all about what you should eat more and less. There are five groups all together in the food pyramid. The five groups are called Grains, Fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat and fish and Junk food. Grains is my favourite because in that group there is rice, bread, pasta, and porridge, the Dairy group got food made out of milk. Fruit and vegetables are what you should be eating more. We need meat and fish, chicken, eggs, steak and red meat to keep us fit and strong. We all love junk food and even adults like junk food as well! But we all need to eat less food like chips, takeaway, peanut butter, cookies etc.
