Last night Room 15 took to the stage in their last performance of Alejandro.

I am so proud of all the children in Room 15.  They have been working so hard on researching Spain and learning the dances.

Thank you all the parents that took time out of their busy days and helped me make this item come alive!

Have a fabulous break!

SEVEN DAYS IN VANUATU

SEVEN DAYS IN VANUATU!!!!!!!!!

                     

On Friday 17 August I went to Vanautu. It was a three hour and a half flight  but it was all worth it!

                                                                                                                                                                    

when we got there it was really hot and the air port was completely different to the ones that we have here.they don't have many shops and when you get on and off the plane it doesn't go straight in to the air port,it just gos down to the place planes lane on!!!

As soon as we got there we had lunch.the service was really bad and when we got our lunch 

TWO HOURS had passed!!!!!!!!!!

 when we got to our motel I got the best bed in the motel!!!It was really small and was kind of like a mini closet ,but no random person walking by could see my bed and anyone could easily see my sister,mum and dad.

when we were all un-packed we all went down to the pool,there were three huge pools and one little one.''B.T.W. the little pool was a spa!''When we were going back to our motel we saw a huge spider about this big....

                                                                                                                                     

Anyway a couple of days later on Sunday morning I had a new friend named Saky's pronounsed sa-key.

She is a really nice for a twelve year old.we started off chucking a ball to each-other and that's when we met three new friends....brook,phibee and monnie.Brooks 9,Phibes 8 and Monnies 10.

It was really windy there so the ball kepted flying out of the pool!It was really annoying because we had to keep getting out of the pool to get the ball!!

The next day we moved motel to one by the beach Saky and I started something new called crab hunting. We got millions of crabs and the biggest one we got was something around this big....

                                    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

and this is the size of the biggest crab I saw in Vanuatu and I'm telling you its HUGE!!!!

How to clean your desk.

Hi my name is Shaan and today here are some steps to make a clean desk. My desk is the cleanest desk
you have ever seen in kowhai team.

1. If there's some rubbish in your desk put it in the rubbish bin which has paper not plastic.

2. Put your books in a pile near the left-hand corner and side of the desk and to the front of the desk.

3. If you have a pencil case, put your stationery in the pencil case.

4. Put your pencil case to the right side of the desk.

5. Put your ruler in the gap where there is a little space to put it, it is 9 cm.

6. That is the steps to make a clean desk. by Shaan

Valerie Adams By Ethan

On Wednesday 9th in London Olympic Stadium Valerie Adams competed in shot put and won a sliver medal.      

Firstly, I think that Valerie Adams is the best shot putter in the New Zealand Olympic team. Next, she mostly always brings gold back home. After that, the Belarise person who won the gold medal was taking drugs so Valerie Adams got the gold medal and the person who got the bronze got the sliver and      the person who came 4th got the bronze.

Finally,  Valerie Adams did't find out she got the gold medal for 10 days.  I think that is a good thing because winning medals in the olympics is a good thing.

Lola & The Gold Medal!

Hi my name is Lola,

This is me with the 2004 Gold Medal from the triathlon.

This was won by Hamish Carter.

My friend Emily had her Dads brother's gold medal because Josie (her sister) wanted to have it for show and tell.

When the Rugby World Cup came to school!

STUFF ABOUT DANTE.................................

Dante is a extra fluffy,very clean and heathy samoyed. 
He loves running around in our back yard and walking with my Mum.
Dante will never bite anyone, he'll only nibble.
Dante absolutly adores visitors he'll bark at them until they put their hand out so he can shake it,
after that he'll calm down.
He absolutly loves Dawn and Niki. (they are my Mums friends)         
Dantes nice and fluffy so he keeps us all nice and warm in the winter time!
He keeps us very safe because he barks at any sranger so at night he'll wake us up if there is a robber.
He's THE cutest thing in the world!
Dante just got a new friend called Bella!
He is going to an amazing kenal on the 17 August for 8 days, a couple of people said he's going to love it there,I think the same thing and I hope hes going to love it too!
Dante's very good when we are eating, he sits a distice away from the table because he knows hes not 
aloud to beg,i n a different way he's a extra good boy.
Dante loves to lick my face after I eat. I don't know why because I never have food on my face!
He loves to play in the rain mostly when its poring so then we have to dry him and thats the only reason 
we think hes a rascle.
Dante eats food that smells like fish and we can't brush his teeth so thats a big problem because he's always breathing in my face so we got him a toy that makes your breath smell like peperment!
The only thing he eats that lives is fish and chicken and he loves them alot, but hes not allowed to have chicken anymore, which isn't really fair for him because he use to love it so much when he was allowed to eat chicken,so thats a bummer.Dante is the cutest thing in the world.

A home made reality           by ORLA 

Today I finished my Electricity project, you can come in to room 15 to see it.But,HERE I have some 

photo's :                                        

First you tape two boxes together.

Next you get two tins and two lunch bar boxes.

Now you  stick the lunch bar boxes to ther base. After that you stick the two tins on the boxes

So now you get a rectangle box and stick it on.you make power lines and stick them in.

Meteors By Theo

Meteors are tiny pieces of rock called meteoroids. When the meteoroids are formed and you see them they are pieces of rock from a comet. They pass the sun and some of the rock breaks off and is left in space. The meteoroid is left hurtling toward Earth as it turns around the sun. The meteoriod sometimes passes through the atmoshere and...starts to burn!

This means that they are about to hit Earth. They are now meteors. The atmoshere is so hot that the meteor burns up before it hits. The meteors are able to pass because the atmosphere is so thin. When meteors pass through at the same time the sky looks like it has shooting stars.

When meteors are in space they look blue.When they are in the sky they glow because the atmosphere is so hot. Meteors are what we see in the sky when meteoriods in space heat up and glow.



Gliders

Gliders arn't like Aeroplanes.  Gliders dont have engins they uses the wind to fliy. That's why there colde gliders

gliders are puld by a rope thats tide to a aear plans for safd resins. When the glider is gliding theres a lever that cut the rope.
