Daffodil day!

Mapua school gathered round on the old court, waiting and waiting, for our time. Finally, The teachers asked for us to put our coins on the Daffodil. Daffodil day is to give money, and remember the people who have and had cancer. On our courts, every year on Daffodil day, one of our best drawers in the school draws a Daffodil for our whole school to place a coin on. Every single coin is taken to the Cancer Society.

Amazing Ski trip!

The children were zooming down the icy slope, Parents were drinking coffee also cheering for their children that made an achievement. Everyone had loads of fun at the Rainbow Ski field. Once we got to Rainbow, we headed up towards Mt. Robert hut where we were put into our ski lesson groups, then we tramped to a building to get our skis on, finally we plodded off to go skiing. We had fun sliding down the icy slopes, and about everyone made an achievement almost all the beginners made it to the intermediate slope, so over all we had millions of fun.

Takaka sports exchange

Go go go!! soccer balls flying everywhere, and maybe even the children! Takaka sports was so awesome!! We went zooming! First netball match was 9-1 TO US!! in the second game of netball 14-1 TO US!!!!! and hockey 6-0 and of course to US!!!! And the soccer, rugby and mini ball all won by US!!! Although, they had much stronger people than us and won the tug-of-war. look at some amazing photos done by Lily and Saskia.

I'm home!

Hi! on friday I just arrived home in the evening but... it was supposed to be the afternoon, what happend was... well, I was leaving australia to Auckland but once we were hovering over top of the airport there was too much fog there so we had to fly down to Wellington get some fuel and wait for the fog to go away, we went back up to Auckland and our flight to Nelson had been delayed so, we had to wait a long time to hop on the plane but once we got on the plane... we spent about 50mins waiting for us to take off. So we are sitting inside our house dad and Owen watching rugby, mum doing.. whatever mum does. I'll be back to school on monday, so I'll see you soon! bye!

Hello, once again!

Hi, room 8! sorry again! I forgot to say I was in Wales last time and saw a mole! It was about 8cm long! It was making scratch marks on the drive way to my grandmas house! It was trying to dig in the drive way but it couldn't so Owen put it on sme dirt and the next few days we didn't see it because it made a home or it fell in the river because when it walked it kept on rollling over and getting up again.
Now i'm in auntie Ann's house again and most of my cousons are here! There is: Jack and Andy (Ann's Adults), and Toby and Katie and Sam (some of autie Jennys children),
