'It's as easy as...' by Zac

It’s as easy as... It’s as easy as a chicken, making a yummy dinner. It’s as easy as a turtle, being a sprints winner. It’s as easy as a goat, driving a car. It’s as easy as a snake, opening a jar. It’s as easy as a toad, making it rain. It’s as easy as Harrison, not being a pain.

'Without you...' by Becca

Without you... Without you I’m like space with no planets, without you I’m a body with no bones, like christmas without santa, like computer without a keyboard. If I don’t have you it would be the queen without a crown, roast pork with no crackling, don’t leave me because without you I’m just nothing! If you're not by my side it would be like fireworks with no sparks, if you’re not by my side it would be the sea without water, shoes with no souls, a class that doesn’t learn and a car without wheels. So please, please don’t leave me, or I won’t be anything you see.

'It's as easy as playing cricket' by Christian

Its as easy as playing cricket or bowling the ball on the wicket. Its as easy as bowling a ball or practicing batting in the hall. Its as easy as holding a bat or wearing your helmet as a hat. Its as easy as holding the seam or bowling the ball like a beam. Its as easy as wearing a pad or facing someone that is bowling mad! Its as easy as playing cricket.

It's as easy as by Chris

It's as easy as telling the moon to come out at day Or running and walking on top of a lake. It's as easy as Spinning around a thousand times Or telling an orange to turn into a lime. It's as easy as hugging a grizzly bear Or going into a giant troll's lair It's as easy as Driving a car with no wheels Or trying to run in tall high heels It'a as easy as Running around in the dark I'm bored now, let's go to the park.

Love by Bernice

Love is red, white and pink The colour of romance. It tastes like chocolate, dissolving in your mouth. It smells like roses, freshly picked for you. It looks like hugs and kisses, When you meet and depart. It sounds like music, Playing softly in the background It feels like Valentine's day Every day

Poetry in Rm14

We have been looking at lots of different poems over the last few weeks. Check at the next posts for examples of our own poems

Mt Ruapehu Trip!

Last week 26 students and four parents and two teachers went up to Mt Ruapehu for five days. They did around 45 minutes a day not everyday, the first day we arrived at school at 8:30am and left school at 10:00am then we stopped in hunterville and had lunch and a play on the famous dog statue then stopped in oakune and played with the giant carrot, then we finally got to the lodge, the lodge was cool thanks to the parents and teachers that came on the trip. Now Josef from room 14 will write something. I liked was the water fall and the hot pools.

Tech Challenges

Every week we do a Monday challenge. The first week we had to make the tallest tower out of marshmallows and spaghetti. The second challenge we did had to make an accessory for someone in your team to wear at the catwalk at the end. Last weeks challenge we made we made paper aeroplanes to see who's flew the furthest and who's was the prettiest. This week we had to make cubic meter frame out of newspaper.

Here are some photos to show how much fun we had!

Athletics Day 2013
On the 25th of February 2013 the whole school participated in the annual event 'Athletics Day'.
Across the school there were groups of different colours: Huia - Blue, Piwakawaka - Green, Toroa - Purple, Kakapo - Red and Poukai - Pink. It was a great day to have athletics day because the sun was out and the clouds had disappeared. We were all seperated into groups and travelled to each activity in those groups for the whole day. The activities were Long Jump, Discus, Shotput, High Jump, Sprints and Vortex, It was a good day and I'm sure everyone enjoyed it.

Poetry

This week we have been looking at poetry. We did emotional poetry like this.

Harrison the emotion

Harrison is purple.
Harrison tastes like salty sweat.
Harrison smells like Lynx.
Harrison sounds like a duck.
Harrison feels like a squishy marshmallow.

By Harrison

Anger

Anger is red like a fire, burning infinitely.
It tastes like a chilli pepper burning in your mouth.
It smells like smoke blowing in your face.
It looks like an angry bull charging at you.
It sounds like someone yelling at you.
It feels like you're being back stabbed by your friends.

By Chris

Sadness

Sadness is blue like the rain clouds.
It tastes like cold hard bread.
It smells damp and dark.
It looks like the very last Harry Potter  movie.
It sounds like crying.
It feels like harsh wind trying to blow you down.

By Anna

A good classroom
