Don't give up Japan!

Red and White? Why is everybody dressed in these colours? Well, you might of heard about the the massive earthquake Japan has had, followed by a tsunami and now that they can't pump fresh water into the nuclear plant? They now have to worry about a possible nuclear melt down! So today (23.3.11) people all around the world are dressed in red and white to support Japan. So don't give up Japan!

Year 6 camp Pa creations

Over the crashing of the waves our group talked on how we should make our Maori Pa. We all started making big Pa's until we realised the Maori Pa's didn't have to be life size. So we all rushed to make a smaller Pa. We stuck in pointy shells as a fence to keep away predators and a crab shell to hide our food. We won it was so much fun.

The Anchorage

We were so nervous we had butterflies in our stomach as we drove away from Kaiteriteri .We could hear our hearts racing with excitement. On Tuesday the 15 March the year sixes had to fight the four hour Anchorage walk . The start was fine but in the end everyone could feel the pain.

Year 6 Camp: Abseiling

I feed the rope into the figure 8, tying not to look down. I'm suddenly standing on a 5 meter slope, thats almost vertical. I take a deep breath, bend my knees and jump! While I'm in the air I feed some more rope, so I can go down the slope as I jump. "Smile!" Sina says as she snaps a picture. In a few more jumps I hit the bottom - I can't wait for another go!

Day four at Bethany park camp.

Day four was awesome!!!!!!!We did Kayaking,sand sculptures and endurance swim.
The Kayak was wobbling as I slowly got in,I could hear my heart racing at 100 mph. We had to walk along the fronts of the Kayaks. It was so freaky!!!!!!!!! We stood up in the Kayaks. That day was so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

za boat ride man

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM (said the boat) as we zoomed off along the salty sea. We went about 100 MPH it was extremely awesomely fun!!!!!!! We stopped at Split Apple Rock and the boat driver told us a bit about it, there were two lovely people. THEY WAVED to US!!! Next we stopped off at the seals they were totally awesomely awesome they did backstroke and breaststroke. I think that that they should go to inter school swimming sports they would so totally win man! After that we went to the beach for a while and we went for a swim. The water was freezing cold but we had so much fun.

Build Yourself Wild

We have been creating wild version of ourselves at the website Build Yourself Wild. We had to make a person that looked like us and then add two 'WILD' features. We are going to write an imaginative story about how we got one of our 'WILD' features. We will post these when we have finished. For now enjoy looking at our wild selves!

Kiwi Kids

On Sunday some students competed in the Weet Bix Tryathalon.
Here is what they thought:
"I liked the bike ride because I got to ride Mum's bike and it is really big!"
"I really liked the swimming because it was fun. The water was freezing!"
"I liked the bike ride because it was fun and I trained so it wasn't hard!"
"I liked the run at the end because I trained for it and still had heaps of energy left."
"It was really fun. The bike was ok, but the run was the hardest."
"My favourite thing was the bike ride because biking is fun!'
" It was really fun because it was a long bike ride and I passed a lot of people."

Sarah

Last week we had a girl from Christchurch called Sarah in our class. It was really fun to have her in room eight. We hope that she will have a good time back in Christchurch. We will remember having her in our class.
