Whole school Boot camp: By Levi

On Tuesday the 21st of July,2015 My school had a whole school boot camp. After Morning tea my teacher Mrs.Sharma told my class to wait for her on the Blue Benches.

When Mrs. Sharma finally came outside she told us to line up in our teams Benghazi, Tripoli,Alamein and Tobruk. After we were arranged into our teams other classes came out.We were told to sit in our teams on the dots outside the office.Miss Kyla told us what we were doing and new our school topic “Practicing peaceful play”. We had to do Burpees, lunges, sit ups, skipping, high knees, push ups, squats, medicine balls, jogging, hula hoops, bunny hops and star jumps. I found the sit ups a bit hard  but it was fun!. My favorite activity was the Medicine balls because we had to run with the medicine ball and back, it was really heavy. It was a sizzling hot. When we were finished doing the boot camp we had to go back to the dots in our teams and listen to Miss Kyla.

The person that helped me the most was a girl in my school called Raena. She helped me with the sit ups and told me how to do the things that I did not know how to do.

I felt surprised,dehydrated,hungry and exhausted. It was so fun and I hope we do it again. I had a great day the sun was shining like a diamond in the sky.

                    

Bikes in School

 On the first day of term two I came to school and all I saw was a large bike track.. “ WOW “   I said as I saw people riding on their own bike. 3 weeks later I saw a big truck carrying LARGE DARK BLUE container when the truck had passed Mrs. Fepuleai came in and announced that our school is going to have their own bikes “yay” I said in my head. 5 week later at lunchtime these 2 men came to our school in a big van with a big trailer filled with bikes. When they opened the trailer there were thousands of bike blue bike and small bikes with training wheels for the little ones in room 1,2 and there was even adult bikes for teachers. I was sooo AMAZED when all the bikes were in the shed. Mrs. Kelly realized that there was still some spaces so she went to this room filled with computers and And...BIKES.  There were pink ones and green ones. The next day at lunchtime teachers were riding bikes it looked  really really FUN!!.  Later in the week, before morning tea we had a bike track opening ceremony;there were songs sung by the kapa haka group, speeches and  some kids got to ride a bike as well. It was FUN.

I am so HAPPY that my school’s got new bike track because now we can ride our bikes to school and ride on the bike track..

The Penguin

Room 5 is learning to write poems on their favourite animal. Here are the poems by two groups. It was a big task to rhyme words and at the same time make sure that they made sense in a sentence. Enjoy reading our poems and please do not forget to leave a comment.

The Floppy Penguin

Wibble Wobble Penguin do not stop

Come out of the ice flip it all off.

Slippy Sloppy fish here it comes

Catch it hurry up before it runs.

Widdle woddle penguin glide into the sea

Dive deep in and and slide into a spree.

Chubby cheeky Penguin in the bush

Mind the little one don’t give it a push.

Slippy sloppy Penguin in the west

Looking so pretty in it’s nest.

The Shark

Dip, dive shark

Do not stop.

Come out of the sea,

Drip, drip drop.

Big, huge enormous,

Swimming in the sea.

Eating all the fish,

Your favourite dish.
