Rugby World Cup

Next week we are playing in a mini touch tournament. We have been given a country to represent and support. The teams were chosen by a random draw.

T13 is South Africa 
 T14 is France 
 T15 is Namibia 

We are going to be learning a little about the country we are representing. Can you match the flag to the country?

We wrote these poems to describe the signs of spring that we can see around our school.

Piglets rolling in the gooey mud.
Blossom bursting out to greet the lovely morning.
Daffodils swing and dancing in the cool breeze.
Baby lambs running around in the cool spring breeze.
Little trees growing into big strong trees.
Birds making warm nests for their eggs.

Sun shimmering down through the lush white clouds.
Fresh green grass swaying gently in the cool breeze.
Fruit ripening in the strong little trees.
Kids kicking balls in the cool green grass.
George 

Trees growing new soft shiny leaves.
Sticks falling off the trees.
Daffodils swaying in the breeze.
Blossom blooming on the trees.
Lambs drinking their mum's milk
 then go jumping around the paddock.
Buds hiding a surprise in them.
Will 

Trees growing beautiful green leaves.
Grass growing in the sun.
Daffodils growing beautiful coloured petals.
Sun shining in the trees.
Lambs drinking their milk.
Pigs rolling in the brown mud.
Blake 

Flowers swaying in the cool breeze.
Lambs baaing in their cage.
Blossoms spurting out of their buds.
Pigs rolling in the gooey gooey mud.
Brand new soft furry buds blooming blossom.
insects creeping on flowers.
Fern trees growing ferns.
Sun shining on us when we play.
Fruit growing on fruit trees.
Libby 

Baby animals being born.
Trees with buds about to bloom.
Daffodils dancing in the breeze, doing a dance for me.
Sun Staying up longer.
Bees making honey for me.
Birds cheeping in the morning sun.
Blossoms opening up, making a surprise for me.
Trees waving in the breeze.
Piglets rolling in the mud.
Lambs going baa.

Natasha


Sun shining in the beautiful blue sky.
Trees blooming and being skinny.
Beautiful green grass coming out of the ground.
Lambs jumping in a beautiful paddock.
Puppies playing at their house.
Bugs moving in the warm sun.
Daffodils growing in the sun.

Movie Afternoon

After being super stars and performing in the school production for two night we decided to celebrate with a 'Post Production Pyjama and Popcorn party'.  We watched Finding Nemo and had yummy popcorn and a Freddo Frog.

Movie Afternoon

Snuggly!!!!

We had a great time snuggled up with our pillows and sleeping bags.

Production Rehearsals

This week Ti Kouka has been busy with rehearsals for the school production.

We have had a group of movie makers using the app Explain Everything to create short clips that will be part of our performance. Here is a sneak peek of what our movie makers have been up to.

Our campers have been busy learning this chant:

Marshmallows on a stick

Marshmallows on a stick

Cook’em til they’re nice and soft

Marshmallows on a stick

Let’s fly a kite up high

Let’s fly a kite up high

Watch it soar up in the sky

Let’s fly a kite up high

We’re Fishing in the river

We’re Fishing in the river

We’ll catch a fish for tea tonight

We’re Fishing in the river

A picnic in the sun

A picnic in the sun

Every kiwi loves to have

A picnic in the sun

Cricket on the beach

Cricket on the beach

Hit a six and win the match

Cricket on the beach

Those stormy clouds above

Those stormy clouds above

Oh no it is about to rain

Let’s get out of here……  (Shout loudly and run off leaving rubbish behind)

And our fish have been busy learning this song:

Down in Huritini
In an itty bitty pool
Swam a school of little fishies
And a mommy fishie too
Swim said the mommy fishie
Swim if you can
So they tried and they tried
But got stuck in some cans

Boop boop diddum daddum waddum Choo
Boop boop diddum daddum waddum ew yuck
Boop boop diddum daddum waddum Choo

And they swam and they swam but couldn't get clean
Stop cried the mommy fish
Our river’s not safe
But The little school of fishies
Just wanted to play
The little school of fishies went off for a feed
And they swam and they swam
Right into some weed

Boop boop diddum daddum waddum Choo
Boop boop diddum daddum waddum ew yuck
Boop boop diddum daddum waddum Choo

And they swam and they swam but couldn't get clean
