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.

Team 4 will also be learning about different artists.

Team 5. At the Immersion assembly team 5 were painting pictures upside down. Then they flipped them up the right way. Then we could see that they had painted Mr Jacobson, Mrs Jarman and Mr Burt.

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.

Children and exercise

Children should exercise every day because it is important to train to get  better at cross country. The seniors have been running every day to the Pt England reserve. Which is really important.

Children should exercise every day to stay healthy and to keep their muscles strong. Exercise is good for you to stay fit.

I think that kids should exercise every day because they get better at all kinds of sport. I know that running is a good way to exercise. I believe that  playing sports like rugby, and touch.   

Children should exercise every day because it is good for your health.

Eric Finau

This morning at assembly a man called Eric Finau came to talk our school. He even went to Pt England school. Eric Finau boxed in the 2014 commonwealth games in Glasgow. In assembly he talked about how he went to Tamaki Intermediate and Tamaki College. He said “if I can do it, you can do it.”
