Canada Celebration!

Yesterday, two Canadians came to our class for our celebration of reaching a smiley face, in Canada on our 'Where In The World' map. Their names are Dan and Gabriel. The first thing they did was put us into groups, make us find a spot in the classroom (in our groups) and gave us a twenty question quiz about Canada. The group that won was called 'The Bubble-Devils'. They got lots of prizes. Next the boys went with Dan to make blueberry waffles with real maple syrup! YUUUUUMMMMYY! After we had all had three pieces, we went with Gabriel to make juggling balls. We made three each. Finally, at the end of the day, we all received a Canada pencil.  

Random Recycled Rewards!

This morning, when school started, two people received a Random Recycled Reward. Jess Lima and Jacob Hughes both received a Random Recycled Reward after climbing Te Maunga O Panekiretanga (The Mountain Of Excellence) for the fourth time! Jacob picked what appears to be a drink cooler. You put it in the freezer and the liquid contained in the side of the glass freezes and you can pour drinks into it and it keeps them cool. Jess picked a fake fish. You put it in water and it has a plastic bubble with air in it so that it floats.

Here is a picture of Jacob with his Random Recycled Reward.

'Senses' Poems

Yesterday room 16 published some 'senses' poems on the computers in the library. Here are some of them.

The Football Match

Thousands of fans pack the stadium,
My teammates yell for the ball and our fans scream louder,
Nervousness creeps over me and I start to panic,
I taste the moist air,
The scent of the freshly mown grass fills my nostrils
And I pass the ball.
By Oskar

The sand in between my toes as

I run along the beach.
A big boat
in the distance.
CRASH, BANG the waves
Hit the rocks.
Dad is making burgers
On the bbq.
The taste of dad’s
Burgers are the best.
By Daize
