Our ki o rahi tornament
Yesterday we had our first ki o rahi tournament. We had to play in our houses which are Rata, Rimu, Totara and Kauri. Coach Trey has been teaching us the skills of the game all term and yesterday he was the ref. There were some games that we won and some that we lost but it was so fun. It was a great experience and it was really good that we could play with and against the bigger kids from Room 7 and 8.

Pelicans
The pelican lives near the sea, lakes, rivers and also on the land.
Pelicans like to eat fish, crabs, frogs, lizards and lobsters.
A pelican is a large bird that has white feathers on the top and some black feathers underneath. They have very short legs that have webbed feet at the end to help them to swim.
Pelicans can live for between 15 to 25 years.
Pelicans’ enemies are wild dogs and cats, raccoons, alligators and even people shoot them sometimes.
ANZAC Biscuits
ANZAC BISCUITS
Did you know in 1915, during world war 1, women made ANZAC cookies to send to the ANZAC soldiers and nurses who were far away from home? Last Thursday Mrs Agnew got us some ANZAC cookies. We had to describe them, like what they looked liked, smelled like and tasted. I liked it when we could eat them! They looked like a small little planet in space. It felt rough like rocks on the road. A delicious sweet as candy was the taste. The ingredients were golden syrup,baking soda and Butter. It was so delicious.
St Patrick’s 175th Jubilee.
St Patrick’s 175th Jubilee
On Friday last week it was St Patrick’s Day. That morning I woke up so I could have some Waffles and some hot chips. I got ready for school and we went to mass. Then after mass Father took us to the front of the church and then two of the students dug up our time capsule. Then I saw father take some of the people to the hall to celebrate with a cup of tea. We came back to school and we played tabloid sports. I liked gum boot throw the best.
After lunch we came back to class and we drew pictures and it was a fun St Patrick’s Day. Then on Sunday my family and I came to mass. There were so many people and I liked it when the Tongan girl was sitting on the fata and gave the bible to Father. I also liked the beautiful singing by the other Tongan girl and the community. Then after church we all went to the hall and we sang 3 songs to entertain the people in the hall. It was a great weekend celebration.

Learning how to use shapes.
Today Mrs Grant came to our class and she showed us how to use shapes and in the lesson she let us make our own objects on the google slide. I made a robot and added a Tongan flag and a Samoa one too. It was so fun.
My Trinity Poster
We have been learning about the Trinity which means ‘three’ and they are Father , Son and Holy Spirit. We say these

how to use key board short cuts
Today was our cyber smart lesson with Mrs Grant and she taught us new short cuts and how to use our touch pads. After that she asked us to blog about it. In our next lesson she is going to have a look at our blogs. In our last lesson she helped us to write our blog profiles and some other fun stuff. My favorite thing is the key board short cuts. I enjoyed this lesson because it is so much fun doing these new things in the lessons.
