Science Intensive with Mrs Kay

This week on Wednesday Room 8 went to Room 9 for Science Intensive. In Room 9 we did all sorts of things and they were called Laser Reflection, Disco Ball and Light Refraction (lens) and my favourite one was the Disco Ball because when we on'd the torch to the necklace their was rainbow colours and that was so cool. I learnt that a rainbow comes when it is a sun shower then the rainbow comes out and that a prism breaks a simple beam of white light into several beams of light.

Late Mr Dudley was a volunteer for the St Andrew’s church. He  worked at our school for a few years as a helper at our breakfast club which operates every morning during school days. He worked on Thursdays helping with the  preparation  and serving of breakfast to the children who came to school without having breakfast.

His beautiful smile and all the kind things he said to us  just made my day and we all will  miss him alot. May the Lord Almighty rest his soul in Peace. Ka kite ano Mr Dudley.

Fairplay and Code of Conduct

Fair Play and Code of Conduct

WALHT: Play fairly and behave on the playground.

This week we have been learning about fair play and how to behave on the playground.

What is Fair play?

Some of the things we have learned about

Fair play is are:

• Following the Rules of the game
• Respecting others
• Sharing and taking turns
• Working together as a team
• Communicating and solving problems in a peaceful way
• Make sure no one is left out
• Being honest
• Giving off your best while playing
• Being a Good Winner and a Good Loser

I feel that this netball-er has the qualities of a fair player and she conducts herself very well on the playground.

How I Would Funraise

How I Would Funraise

It is very expensive for the Paralympics athletes to fly to the Olympics so I have thought of some ways you can fundraise.

1. First I would do a Sausage sizzle or other common food or drinks like lemonade.

2. Second I would organize entertainment like Dancing.

So that's how I would Funraise.

Which famous athlete would you meet

Which famous athlete would you meet.

There are a lot of athlete's out there that I really want to meet but I can only meet one of them and that one is Lauren Boyle. There are 2 reasons why I like her.

First I chose her because I would really like to see what's it like to you know win a gold medal or being the champion and I would ask her to give me some lessons on how to swim because I'm not a good swimmer.

Second of all I would really love to ask her lots of questions like how much medals have you won questions like that.

So that's why I want to meet Lauren Boyle.

Youngest Olympian to win a Gold Medal

The youngest person to ever win a Gold Medal is Marjorie Gestring. She won a Gold Medal in spring board diving.

If I was alive in 1963 and I was interviewing her I would ask her.

• Who taught you how to dive.
• How did you feel when you won the Gold Medal.
• Why did you chose this sport.
• Did anybody else in your family compete in the Olympics.
