On the 1st of August, we were lucky to have some rugby players coming to our school! They were Billy, Rameka, Sars and Brook. They were from the Canterbury rugby team. We got to ask some questions and the answers.
My favourite sport is basketball. 🏀
What’s your favourite sport and why?
On the 23rd of June, we performed in the James Hay Theatre in the city!
We have been practising a contemporary jazz dance for about 9 weeks.
Our instructor was Sandy and she was an awesome teacher.
I was really excited and nervous when we got to the theatre.
We had to perform with bare feet!
My favourite part was watching other schools performing.
It was a great opportunity to do ”dancing like the stars.”
It was really fun and I want to do it again!
Do you like dancing?
Today, a special guest came to our School!
Ray Bishop, he is a singer and came to our school as a duffy role model.
He talked about how dreams can come true and we can learn many things from books. He sang a song for us and it was amazing! It’s called ”Nothing is Impossible”. Here is a link about the song. Click
This is the other song that I liked.
I got a graphic novel and a chapter book.
The books have been given by the government and the Avonhead Rotary.
Here is me reading the book.
I love reading!
Thank you to the government, the Avonhead Rotary and Ray!
On Thursday this week, we had a fun run for the whole school.
There was the gauntlet course which had small obstacles and there were parents throwing balls at the end!
On the second course, it had nets that we had to crawl under, hay bales and huddles.
The third was the cross country course which we had to run around the cross country course. We had to run the course 3 times in a limited time.
On the first course, I ran 4 times and the second course I ran 5 times.
Next, we searched for a tennis ball that was hidden in the domain.
I found none. Pompallier had the most tennis balls.
Next was the colour run.
The parents and the teachers sprayed dye paints on us!
I had paint all over my clothes and shoes.
My favourite was the colour run.
Here are the photos.

This week, we have been learning about forgiving others.
We had to fill in a template about steps to forgive.
I think it’s very important to think about who you’re forgiving and what they did to you.
Here is my work.
What do you think is the most important step to forgive?
For Cybersmart, We made a name tag in google drawing by using curve lines and writing our names with it. I used the color blue and mint which is my favourite color. We also used this technique to create a Pentecost art.
Here is my art.
What color would you choose for your name tag?
This week we have been learning about Jesus’s ascension.
So we made an animation with my friend Despina.
I liked this activity because it was fun making the animation with Despina.
Here is the animation that we made.
If you could make any animation, what would it be and why?
This week, we have been doing some Kiwiana pop arts.
We have been using google drawings to trace Kiwiana images and make kiwiana pop art.
I loved this activity because I like art.
Kiwiana is something that is related to New Zealand.
Here is my Kiwiana art.
What Kiwiana things would you choose?
For the last 2 weeks, we had been swimming at QE ll.
We also did a reading hotspot about swimming.

Here is my hotspot.
Do you like going swimming?
