Have you made a collage
Yesterday for R.E we were answering some questions about Mary and then we had to write about our special females in our life. Here is mine
Who was Mary?
She was a woman chosen by God to raise Jesus.
What is special about her?
She was a descendent of Eve and had never sinned.
Why is she important to us?
She raised Jesus our saviour and is an important symbol in the catholic church.
My Yr 6 Friends are important to me because they are so nice and kind.
Who are your special females?
This week for persuasive writing we had to write a letter to an imaginary friend and persuade them not to go to war. This was a fun task but it was hard to persuade them to. Here is mine
Dear Edmund
It was great to hear from you, I don’t agree with you to go to war even though the media says it will be a great adventure I don’t trust those sneaky people. “Adventure” is just another word for sorrow. My brother wants to sign up and however hard I try he still wants to, he thinks I’m scared and jealous and selfish he may be annoying but he is still my brother. Also you have to kill others just like you. War is stupid, and down in the trenches it’s not a 5 star hotel there is disease and rats and you won’t get heaps of food only the scraps from god knows where, so I’m not going.
Sincerely Oliver
What do you think it would be like in war?
Tell me in the comments.
On monday the Yr 6s and Yr 5s went to living springs for school camp.
Day 1:
First we packed and went in our car groups to governors bay. Next we had morning tea and walked around the coast to a farm and had a tour of the farm. After that we walked up a hill to the campsite. When we got there we had a look around and had afternoon tea and put up our tents.Then we had free time and dinner. Then we had the option to do a burma trail or stay and chill, I chose the burma trail it was really fun. When we got back we went to bed.
Day 2:
When I woke up I went outside to stargaze with my friends but we got caught and had to go back to bed. After that when we were allowed out of our tents I went to play soccer, then we got called in for breakfast. After that we went to a pool and played there, me and my friends played a game called electric piggy. When we got changed I was really hungry so we had morning tea. Next we had Archery first we had to shoot at targets then we had to try and get an arrow in a bucket but best of all we had an archery dodgeball game with music. Then we had lunch it was Nachos!! After that we had an initiative challenge with lots of puzzles my favorite one was called River of Toxic Waste where you had to swing across a river with a rope but it had to start in the middle of the river, if you touched the platform your whole team had to start again. Then we had afternoon tea and did indoor rock climbing it was awesome. After that we went back to base and had free time until dinner. And then we went to sleep.
PS: My tent had a busted zipper so we had to move quickly to another one in the wind.
Last Day:
When I woke up I got dressed and went outside we were finally allowed to leave our tents so I went to play soccer and had breakfast (me and my friend Zara had a challenge to eat the most we ate 21 servings in total!!). Then we had to pack our daypack and duffel bag. after that we took down our tents and had morning tea. After that we had some team building trails that were like the intuitions. After that we had lunch. Then we went home!!
My favorite part was the archery and the intuitions.
Yesterday at NBC we celebrated Ash Wednesday and we also welcomed new families to our school. Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent it is also when we get ashes on our forehead to ask God to forgive us and to show that we are Christians. The kapa haka group did a haka and waiata to welcome the new families. I enjoyed this because we had a really fun priest.
Kia Ora,
On the 6th of Feb it was Waitangi Day, so in Rm7 we had to create a quiz about Waitangi Day and write about the History of a place that is special to us in NZ. I teamed up with Zara-Mao and Kiara. Here is a LINK to our work
I liked this task because it let me do what I love most research and design.
Here is another Link for My Special Place

During the middle of the year I got the chance to do a thing called a passion project. A passion project is a project about what you are passionate about. At first I started with this site about tigers. Then I started making a birdhouse with my friends Kiara, Cataleya and Zara-mao. We didn’t get to finish the birdhouse but we still had a fun time making it.
Have you done carpentry, if yes what did you make?
