Hello students! This year we will be doing interesting projects, expanding our technical skills, learning a lot about science and sharing our work with other students!
We are going to visit New Zealand and look at their blog and leave appropriate and complimentary comments. Did you know that New Zealanders are called Kiwis? I guess we should be known as Quahogs! Did you know that if I was fooling you, here in the states I'd be "pulling your leg". In New Zealand, they'd say "Get off the grass". Hmmm, which is more strange? Maybe we can trade some idioms to start with - okay, sprogs? Be like a box of Budgies!
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteMy children will be replying before the end of the week. They are highly excited about getting comments. After this week, we are on school holidays for two weeks and will be back at school on October 11th. I'm sure we can Skype, I will try and sort it from this end about doing that - but probably not till next term. It would be great to see videos too.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIn the weekends most of the time I play soccer and play computer games.When I'm at my Dads we play in the bush.We are called Kiwis because they are our native animals.It stinks in Rotorua because of the sulpher in the mud pools (but it only stinks in certain areas.)
sup Josh. I like playing on my nitendo Wii. I play touch rugby and normal rugby. New Zealand has a lot of fun things to do.The main animal is the kiwi. Rotorua has mud pools, and many lakes.we have lots of tourists in Rotorua and the museum.our school is Lynmore.we have lots of green fields and open spaces in our school and we also have a bush area.what does your school look like? Our national anthem is Maori and English. What is your national anthem.we have a bush area named the red woods it is also a dog park.we have a racing track for bmx and motor bikes.
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia my name is Natalya. I like Lynmore School. In Rotorua it is a busy place we have lots of works -making the roads bigger. We have Rainbow Springs where you get to see the kiwi. Kiwi's like to live in the dark. In the wild they are only in certain protected places where other animals can't kill them. So if you want to see a kiwi you have to go to an animal centre. Most people in Rotorua like to go boating, go to beaches - the beach is one hour away.

ReplyDeleteHi MacKenzie. Next week we are doing a Camp cookout in Waitawa Bush. We had to plan our own menus. Our group are cooking sausages, marshmallows and melted chocolate and some other stuff. We are cooking over a fire. There are 4 in my group and there will be an adult helping us, but we have to cook the food. This will be my baby brothers first Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHi West and Aili,
ReplyDeleteNext week we are having a camp cookout in Waitawa Bush. We are cooking over open fires. Our food will be really yummy - sausages and hot chocolate.
