Auckland Museum

When we arrived at the Auckland Museum we settled down in the kai room. In the kai room we ate our morning tea. At school we were put into teams, I was with Jonson, Brandon, Hiwarau, Taniela, Leka, Paula and our teacher was Mrs Lagitupu.

The first thing we look at was the maori gallery. We saw harakeke and carvings. After the maori gallery we to the pacific gallery. There were traditional costumes and tapo in Tonga.  Niuean has similar things to maori.

After looking at the Auckland Museum we went outside to the domain. Once we got outside we had to take several photos. Some of the thing we took photos of were scalpchers, flowers and the waterfall.

In conclusion the Auckland Museum is home to valuable objects. It is where you learn about art and the history of our country.

Washing your hands

Washing your hands is the most important step because it takes away the bacteria that can make you sick. Because you touch things that are dirty and then you eat thing that go into your mouth. If you don't wash your hands you will get germs.

Your hands get dirty because you touch pets and go toilet. It can also get dirty by touching rubbish. Sneezing on your hands gets bacteria.

Why is it important to have class and school rules?

If we didn't have class and school rules then kids could do whatever they like. Kids would do things like fight, steal things around them and muck around.

The school would look messy and ugly. Kids will not learn without rules. They might not respect the property. People might be a bad role model and the teachers would be disappointed.

Immersion Assembly

Immersion assembly is when the teachers dress up and perform at assembly. Pt England School always has an immersion assembly every term.

Team 1 have been inspired by the environment so they will be visiting the river. In their item  Mr Jacobson was paining a big picture on the beach. Then Miss Moala began throwing chocolate fish to the students.                                             

Team 2 are looking at the primary colours and they will also be mixing colours. Mixing Blue and Red makes purple. Mixing yellow and red makes orange. Mixing blue and yellow makes green.

Team 3 will be learning about painting and different artists.

Cross Country

At Pt England school we did cross country. This event happens every year. It was held on Thursday last week at 1:00 PM. It started from the year 1 boys up to the year 8 girls. There were parents and family supporting their children.

As Mr Burt called us up I was shaking. During our race, I ran at a medium pace. Passing other students bit by bit. I began to slow down a bit. As I got on the reserve I began to walk. As I passed teacher I heard words of encouragement.

Beginning my second lap, I was worn out but I wasn’t going to stop. Slowly jogging I spotted some  of my friends. I tried to catch up to them but they were too fast. So I just ran by myself.

I was near the finish line so I began sprinting my hardest. I crossed the finish line and celebrated my victory. Drinking plenty of water I was exhausted. I knew I did my best and I was very proud of myself.
