Variety Show

Today we had our dress rehearsal for the variety show tonight. We are performing the Rakau to E-papa Wairari. We have been learning our routine all term and tonight we get to show it off to our parents. Hopefully we do not drop any of them!

Raincoat and Gumboot Mufti

Today we had a Raincoat and Mufti day. We had Max the pukeko come to our Travelwise assembly to help us say goodbye to winter and welcome spring. We all looked cool in our bright colours, raincoats and gummies.

Speeches

This term LZ13 had to prepare a speech on a famous inventor or inventions. We had speeches about Alexander Graham Bell, The Wright Brothers, Telephones, TV, Steve Jobs and loads more. It was really hard choosing a representative from our classroom for the MLC speech assembly. This year Olivia was the MC and Rufaro presented his speech on Telephones & Alexander Graham Bell. You did a fantastic job both of you.

Cricket

On Thursday we had a Cricket session with Papatoetoe Cricket. We played knock the castle, where we had to knock the wicket over in the centre. The two teams drew 6-6. Then we played a different version of non stop cricket. Both the pink team and the orange team drew 61 - 61.  We had an awesome time.

Be sustainable with energy!

On Monday Tracy from Vector Energy came to speak to the year 4s about being sustainable and electricity. We learnt about the different energy sources (Hydro, wind, gas and geothermal) and how much electricity we use in our homes and school. Tracy also taught us how to safe electricity and energy at home by turning off lights when we do not need them, stopping dripping taps and not leaving the fridge open too long.
