This week we have been doing drama about Lester and Clyde and we got to do role play about how to fix the environment and getting back the humans.

On Wednesday Mrs and Mr Laban brought a baby lamb to school. It was white with a litte black spot.So Mrs Laban named her Spot. It was so cute.

Sport

We do heaps of sports at our school. We have a man who comes teach us some soccer skills. Last week Leimanu accidentally tripped me up. I scored a goal just as I fell. I scored 3 more goals.It was exciting and very very windy. I nearly flew away in it.We play at lunch times for fun.Some children come down after school to play more soccer. We all love soccer at this school and we also play hockey. We might be playing summer hockey.We do running. we do as many laps as we can in 15 minutes. Some people can do 8 laps. We have a chart that every time we do running or jump jam we mark it.

This Term we have been doing Drama about Lester and Clyde. We had to act and use facial expressions.

Lester and Clyde are two frogs that are always annoying each other. Lester is always annoying Clyde and playing with him, Clyde sends Lester away and Lester is disgusted at what the humans have done to the ponds. He comes back home and tells Clyde about it and what he saw.

Spot the lamb

Well a few days ago one of our teachers brought her baby lamb to school. It was very small. It was one day old and the lamb was a girl. We got to feed her.She was called Spot because she had one spot on her foot.

Drama

This term we have been doing drama about Lester and Clyde. The things we used were facial expresons, body movement, and mime. We even did a play. It was about Lester and Clyde getting rid of the humans polluting the ponds.

We have also been learning about animals and there habitats and environments. And thats why we did drama on Lester and Clyde.

Spiders

We made spiders and we were going to scare Mrs Laban with them but she didn't get scared.

We hung them up from the roof with string.

Sports Report by Paris

We are first in the ninth grade table for football and my brother has scored 41 goals. Tom has s cored 18. I have scored 6. The last goal scored was with my left foot. We have only lost 1 game but that was to a 10th grade team. Our Dad says when we play them again we will beat them because we didn't have Connor L in goal we had another boy in goal but he is normally a mid-fielder. He's one of our best players though.

Cloaks

We made cloaks. Haikal and I are in different groups so we had different cloaks and colours. Daniel had a koru in the middle of it and Haikal had a diamond in the middle of it. We ended up with a really big cloak. It took us four days.
