Onepoto Trip

On Friday all the year 4's went to Onepoto School. We went there because the Kapa Haka group was performing there. We had to bring morning tea and lunch, a hat, a drink bottle, sunblock and a raincoat for if it rained and if you wanted to you were allowed five dollars maximum. If you brought five dollars you would have to buy a ticket that had five dollars in it but in 50 cents so it was easier to buy stuff. There were four categories to choose from. There was Candycorn and Lollies, Sweets, Ice blocks and sausage sizzle. It was a ton of fun watching Pinehill School perform. We had to go in groups. There was Josh's mum's group that I was in. Mrs Hook's group and there was Kamryn's mum's group. It lasted for six hours. That was how long school took. There was a playground that had lots of people on it. Because it was a festival. There was about 32 schools from Auckland to Christchurch. We all had a great time! Pinehill School performed for about 15 minutes. We had to stay together because there were so many people.

A lovely surprise...

Today I came back from lunch to find a card on my desk with a flower and the front of the card says...

'I don't care how you look as long as you are my teacher.'

Thank you Amir it made my day! He has drawn a picture of me with my eye patch.

And that is why I love my job!

Sewing

In room 6 we have all been working very hard on our sewing. We had to design a picture that we wanted to sew onto a piece of cloth. Then we used chalk to draw the picture on to our fabric, and we have learnt to sew around the picture. Some of the hardest parts have been learning to thread the needle, and also sewing stitches that are not too long and not too short. We try to make the stitches about the width of our finger. Mrs Hook took some photos of us sewing. We are going to take photos of our sewing to stick on our wiki.
