Beach Education

On Friday Rooms 2, 4 & 5 went to Mangawhai Beach to learn to swim safely between the flags. We played some games down on the beach.

After the games we went inside to have lunch. When some of Rooms 2, 4 & 5 finished their lunch they got into their togs. Then we went outside in

room lines. Room 2 got to go in the water first with the boogie boards. The water was cold, and it started to rain while we were in the water. We were already wet so it didn't matter!
I thought that it was a fun trip.

Goodbye Mrs Humfrey

Mrs Humfrey tought us how to make poi. She also taught us the poi actions. She tought us the sticks, (rakau). First we learnt how to do the basics, then we learnt how to do the Rainbow action to the song, (waiata). She also taught us some new songs. Mrs Humfrey was really cool!!

Trip to Whangarei Museum

On Friday Tomatara juniors went to Whangarei Museum and the kiwi house. First we went to the class room and listened to Mr Davidson and Mrs Luada and thier funny stories.
My favourite story was when Mr Davidson came home crying because he got wacked by the teacher - he didn't listen to his teacher!
We had a fun day.
It was also Mrs Humfrey's last day with us.

Last night it was the bomb!
Did you hear the beautiful mermaids? They sang awesomely.
Hannah was funny, she was a mermaid too. All or the mermaids were beautiful.
Rosa and I were holding hands all the time, but not when I wanted to hold hands with someone else like Saffy.
I had butterflies in my tummy.
I loved the Production.

Production

Rainbow strolled carefully onto the stage. His colours were all colours, such as amber, purple, green and black. His eyes were as big as dinner plates. His tail was as purple as the middle of a flower. Rainbow said "I am a giant dragon and I am very rare, so you may not see me again!" Then he kept marching like a very proud lion. Rainbow's scales were the most pretty things I have ever seen. Rainbow was the best thing anyone will ever see in their dreamy and exciting lives.

We are learning to use adjectives and similes in our writing.

Last night was the prodution. Room 2 were Bills, Durrs and Sea Creatures. We did an 11.30 and a 7pm show. We got our faces painted, it felt itchy! I think we all did really well and it was exciting.
