Book Week in school

This week was book week. There was a play performed in our school hall on Tuesday.

The play was about the Treasure Hunt. that has been written by Craig Christie.

There were two tribes living on an island. The two tribes blamed each other for stealing each others song.

The Treeland tribe was led by George and the Seaview Tribe was led by Jessica. These two characters teamed up to solve the problem about the lost treasure which was their song.

The problem was solved when they were able to put the torn map together and work out how to get the treasure. They had to read three different books to solve the problem.

I really enjoyed this play because both the characters were very smart and talented.They sang very well and were also very hilarious.

Thank you Sam and Lydia for coming to our school. I hope to see you next year.

KIWI SPORTS

Today the senior school had its first kiwi sport session for this term.

Ben, from Auckland Badminton taught us some badminton skills.

We used a badminton racket and a shuttle.

We learnt how to hit the shuttle using a fore arm hit and back hand hit.Ben also taught us how to hold the racket using different grips.

Cultural groups

I am feeling very excited about taking part in cultural

activities at school this term.

Today I picked two cultural groups that I want to be in.

My first choice was Cook Island and I picked Samoans as my second choice.

I hope I get my second choice.
