The Pasodoble is a Spanish dance. We had to work with a partner to learn the different moves and then put it all together into one dance. He came everyday for a week and then we did a performance so that everyone could enjoy our dance routine.

We have found out that the Kea is an endangered New Zealand Native bird. We went to the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary to see all the different things that we can do to help rid the New Zealand bush of pests like rats, stoats, possums and weasels that are killing our native birds, their babies and eating the food that the birds need. We are looking forward to seeing kiwi and tuatara being able to live in the bush once again as well as seeing and hearing increasing numbers of tui, piwakawaka and kereru once the pests have gone.

We collected insects to feed the native gecko. The number of insects collected tells us if the bush is a healthy place for birds to live.

We sat in silence for five minutes in order to listen to all the different sounds of the bush. After that Rick showed us some of the tracking and trapping devices used to get rid of pests.

We ended the day by crossing the bridge at the top of the valley and when we got to the bottom of the valley we crossed the stream by going across the stepping stones. Nobody fell in! We had a great day and we learned heaps about conservation.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846619969298188796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004657955086591014.post-90304433707946621552017-06-14T21:51:00.000-07:002017-06-14T21:51:41.791-07:00Cross Country Fun!We all had a great day out at Rabbit Island for our annual cross country races. We enjoyed a day of fun games like rob the nest ,dragon's tail and dodge ball while waiting for our turn to run the race. Once we had run around the cross country circuit we enjoyed hot sausages and yummy baking.

When we got there we put some life jackets on and they split us up into two groups. First we jumped off the end of the wave pool. When we had all jumped off we huddled together in the water like in the start of a rugby match. If someone is injured or is a child they get put in the middle of the group to support and protect them. Then we formed into a long snake to swim back to the side of the pool. After all the water safety drills I felt like a water expert. That was the end of a wonderful day.

Celebrations and Festivals are an ongoing part of life, where we say "thanks" for what we have or the milestones that have been passed. Each country, group and family have different celebrations but the connecting threads in these are: fun, sense of thankfulness and appreciation, connection with the traditions of past (in family, group, country), moments of reflection and importance.
As part of our Celebrations and Festivals topic, the Middle Syndicate students have been rotating around Kereru, Kotuku and Kea classrooms each Thursday afternoon to learn about a new celebration.
The students have decorated Calavera (sugar skulls) which are used in the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) and the Catholic holy day All Souls day.
Students celebrated Guy Fawkes day by creating 'Fireworks in a Jar' and firework art.
Candle holders called diva were made (yet to be decorated) to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu 'Festival of Lights'.
The students really enjoyed spending time in other classrooms with a mix of children from across the syndicate.
A big thank you to parents and grandparents who helped out in the classrooms!

We saw the building where the original gallery was. We found out about Bishop Suter and his wife who built the original gallery so that all the people of Nelson could enjoy the paintings. We listened to the story about Nelson heroine Huria Matenga who helped save people who were shipwrecked at Whakapuaka while we were looking at a painting of Huria Matenga. We finished our visit by going on a scavenger hunt to look for paintings in all the different galleries.

<span style="font-size: large;">We saw how the clothes and household items are sorted, priced and prepared for sale.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We were amazed at the variety of things for sale. There was jewellery, clothes, kitchenware, toys, bedding and furniture.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We were told how St Vincent de Paul has people coming into the shop asking for help. They are gently interviewed and asked how best St Vincent de Paul can help them. They help with school fees, some power bills, petrol or things that will help families.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Look at the extra supplies that St Vincent de Paul has for helping out people when they are in need. Toiletries, meat, tinned cans, spreads, cereals, bread and baking things are stored here.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">St Vincent de Paul does mighty work. They are an example of how to carry on Jesus' work of serving and loving others. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At present they are asking earnestly for donations to be brought to the shop. With roadworks in the driveway, not much has been dropped off lately. If you have anything to donate please take it there and use the entrance off the carpark at the back. THANKS!</span><br />

First he dissected the shark by cutting the tummy open with the scissors. Next he opened the heart and the liver. He works as a Marine Biologist. Finally he cut the eyes open and we got to feel the eyes. They felt like a little slimy ball and it was losing the goo in its eyes.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXO43UxFRyA4xX-PLzc2xUL-6uFNSRsyq7lExaKTFVpArohgpObbClOcVG7Oz-ytfw7AAhbYlhOvLxLYAOfzsxVDyAgNqm54id5zOQj1bh3Ev6bVsyHML8bCFIiuG7hbGUawEzQu-T1rt/s1600/IMG_0385.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXO43UxFRyA4xX-PLzc2xUL-6uFNSRsyq7lExaKTFVpArohgpObbClOcVG7Oz-ytfw7AAhbYlhOvLxLYAOfzsxVDyAgNqm54id5zOQj1bh3Ev6bVsyHML8bCFIiuG7hbGUawEzQu-T1rt/s320/IMG_0385.JPG" width="320" height="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ZF54_r3kRrpbZj_fIZ-Q0JWXOb41w-eQCTDUfhYHhHa1JzPx1EZ7eVPT2eeULDzBlJzqns_TNeq4_s0B_HZijpW4c4Jqia5WNiqkU4Y3SKauL_5MFpbOvYkD3HMoRVPcyPOJV-A2aWzD/s1600/IMG_0391.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ZF54_r3kRrpbZj_fIZ-Q0JWXOb41w-eQCTDUfhYHhHa1JzPx1EZ7eVPT2eeULDzBlJzqns_TNeq4_s0B_HZijpW4c4Jqia5WNiqkU4Y3SKauL_5MFpbOvYkD3HMoRVPcyPOJV-A2aWzD/s320/IMG_0391.JPG" width="320" height="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYHAWDQILUnCSuzHa1OzU1q5AecDcm5GeDbjy5VoLWexsMYCEzciJFtnbzc0sWmy7ksWHMU8tA92qmHl4qhgSqTjz5hZs3vD68gPfObllrQ4b_RXUHHkQ3pPUWZ6ixcE5qq8ETTi7nbn0/s1600/IMG_0390.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYHAWDQILUnCSuzHa1OzU1q5AecDcm5GeDbjy5VoLWexsMYCEzciJFtnbzc0sWmy7ksWHMU8tA92qmHl4qhgSqTjz5hZs3vD68gPfObllrQ4b_RXUHHkQ3pPUWZ6ixcE5qq8ETTi7nbn0/s320/IMG_0390.JPG" width="320" height="239" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846619969298188796noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004657955086591014.post-60617379312081096472016-08-24T19:22:00.000-07:002016-08-24T19:22:50.479-07:00My Trip to Alaska by HannahWe left Auckland and we had to sleep on the plane and then we arrived in Vancouver in Canada. First we went to Aunty Eileen and
Uncle John’s house, we had tea and after that I went to bed. The next afternoon I met my cousin Eden and Zoe.
Once we arrived in Alaska we got on the train we set off for the Royal Caribbean cruise, we had to have a seat pass. The seat pass tells you what room your in, like my room was 3610 and it's also a room key. The first day of the cruise we went for a walk around the cruise boat and we found the kids club. I went there every day and I met a new friend her name is Thea. Thea sat at the table across from us for tea.
Once we arrived in Los Angeles the first thing we did was go to Disneyland
and get our tickets. The next day we went to Disneyland and went on heaps
of rides, my favourite was Splash Mountain. Later on in the week we went to Legoland. In Legoland everything was made out of Lego. We went on heaps of rides. The next day we went back to Disneyland and did some more rides. Then we went to the Lego shop and bought my very first Star Wars Lego set.
The next day we went to the Cook Islands. In the Cook Islands we did
Swimming, shopping and we went on the glass bottom boat and I learnt how to snorkel. After the Cook Islands we went home.
It was a fantastic holiday and I will never forget it!

The children were in teams representing some of the competing countries. Saint Paul's teams were: U.S.A., Indonesia, South Africa and Argentina. We had to march into the stadium just like the actual Olympic athletes. The events that were organized were great fun. They involved lots of fast running, ball skills and team-work. Some of our favourites were Weightlifting and Equestrian. Although we took part for the fun and friendship, it was a big surprise when the medals were presented in a ceremony at the end. Saint Paul's teams were placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yL8EdpFl3PHwUlnqRRDeFMYm0IXHFDyHlrv90he4QoaXYA2z-Nfb-n7r46pbygk0UFCuSBy54Z3lWRySf7HlIbc6gmlLQOsta3P0oHLQ1mXnI_bgDp12AaPmGngourozbv5mAb-a7Umf/s1600/Vdyed2GL1NkaAXC1tOmWkIeSabmteoY1Wrfz73kia2WB6ATaBFvRjH7x159ZLjU1ukBSWvQJq4jHvKa2oeLZegTXFGDBjNMkeQz3Im8mDMSvNJqq6yDSaRHaOsrK2ISX.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8yL8EdpFl3PHwUlnqRRDeFMYm0IXHFDyHlrv90he4QoaXYA2z-Nfb-n7r46pbygk0UFCuSBy54Z3lWRySf7HlIbc6gmlLQOsta3P0oHLQ1mXnI_bgDp12AaPmGngourozbv5mAb-a7Umf/s320/Vdyed2GL1NkaAXC1tOmWkIeSabmteoY1Wrfz73kia2WB6ATaBFvRjH7x159ZLjU1ukBSWvQJq4jHvKa2oeLZegTXFGDBjNMkeQz3Im8mDMSvNJqq6yDSaRHaOsrK2ISX.jpeg" width="320" height="240" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12846619969298188796noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004657955086591014.post-3772937395261362052016-07-06T00:29:00.000-07:002016-07-06T00:29:26.643-07:00A trip to Wellington by Emily.On Friday I went to Wellington it was the first time I had been on a plane for six years. We traveled with Jetstar, it was fun. When we arrived in Wellington airport it was huge! My sister, my mum, my dad and me went on the bus to the James Cook Hotel. We were on floor 15. The next day we meet up with my cousin Carys to go to Te Papa museum. After we had seen everything but the Gallipoli exhibition, we went there. When we got inside we saw fake but life- like people . You could see the sweat, the tears, the blood and even the hairs on the arms. There were stories about the war and you got to shoot a gun into a trench. When we were near the end we went through a trench and there was a short little movie and at the end there was a dead person, it was sad. Almost near the end we got to make a poppy and throw one in and you could go back and make another one and take it home. After we came out we went to a cafe and I had a caramel slice and a hot chocolate. After I had finished my hot chocolate and my caramel slice we went to get a souvenir. I got a dog and my sister got a penguin. I named my dog Spot because she has a spot on her tail and my sister named her penguin Eric. On the last night of being in Wellington we went to see the rugby it was Wales vs New Zealand the score was 36- 24. Dad said that it was a good game.

He drew two pictures in chalk pastel and the syndicate that answered the most questions correctly about his story won the picture. Kea Class won! Good listening to the story!
On Tuesday, Stu ran some writing workshops. He showed us how to generate ideas to write about and how to give stories the "wow" factor that makes people want to read the stories. One of his top tips was to have an ideas scrapbook. Every time time you see something that interests you, you should save that idea in your ideas scrapbook. Take a photo, draw a picture, cut the idea out of a magazine, write it down! His other top tip was to take an ordinary everyday object and ask yourself what are twenty things this could be? The middle syndicate turned a desk leg into a magic flute that could make people do whatever you wanted them to do!
We all enjoyed and were inspired by Stu's visit. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvxe4pEoJQATDoUqMuRq4rTb9L5Qko_d64n0pQ7UgMP6kgup6NFpFoXDVTl5KaBWaxBShi-Izmdn0CpRx_S-ooN4sCbdkPwq-qmDtAo7O3itqg7r_vizQJC30guB4uU7_M55RCiJn4OGzG/s1600/IMG_0777.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvxe4pEoJQATDoUqMuRq4rTb9L5Qko_d64n0pQ7UgMP6kgup6NFpFoXDVTl5KaBWaxBShi-Izmdn0CpRx_S-ooN4sCbdkPwq-qmDtAo7O3itqg7r_vizQJC30guB4uU7_M55RCiJn4OGzG/s320/IMG_0777.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_HbLXUkoZJnWUW8X0QURorzefzAsIj6P4__-RQ5buLXH_slc83rWchS_a6ccufH956o_WyoTC__fKRJsh5DFOhoPDS2QguursQE54sH8qcz98GsG0rPtY9ON5Fv3MG2kXRNDkU2gp6luz/s1600/IMG_0778.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_HbLXUkoZJnWUW8X0QURorzefzAsIj6P4__-RQ5buLXH_slc83rWchS_a6ccufH956o_WyoTC__fKRJsh5DFOhoPDS2QguursQE54sH8qcz98GsG0rPtY9ON5Fv3MG2kXRNDkU2gp6luz/s320/IMG_0778.JPG" /></a></div>

The Tiger Kingdom
My best day was the Tiger Kingdom. I got to lie on the tigers there are only 3.
I got to see the big and biggest tigers but I got to go inside the smallest tigers cage and I got to get a souvenir and it was a little tiger.
The elephant riding
On the other favourite day I got to ride an elephant and I got to feed the elephant after the ride. It eats the bananas with the skin on and its trunk was rough.
We had to take our jandals off and I got to ride on its neck it was a bumpy ride
After the ride I got to feed him and he grabbed my arm but I got free.
Dinosaur golf
We went to Dinosaur golf I saw a lot of dinosaurs and we played all night.
We had some dinner I had a big coconut with ice cream and vegetables.
I liked it and I drew with my sister and the score was 28 all.

Artistic skaters from Christchurch came for the competition. When I got there my best friend from skating Jemima's was there. My mum did my hair and Jemima's mum's sister did my makeup. In the competition there are three dances. I competed against one person her name is Hannah. Hannah did her dance first it was a great dance. After that she came out of the rink and the man upstairs in the sounds room called me onto the rink . After I finished the competition the judge called my score out. After that I want to my mum She told me my score. I got just about the same score as Hannah. Then I had to go too the far end of the skating rink where we got a medal. </div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRINdkjZx1_PkDeX9eJ8-_Gqcrt5ICFjex-NEctWDX8VU3T4qfTB76FIr00Joau0EAKb2BoxKw6FVReyUSRvvuGNuEBYqcX6DSUAlP2hslqfIAe-6iB2-32RNJ2u_7A2VPu93d1doH2G5J/s1600/20160416_123020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRINdkjZx1_PkDeX9eJ8-_Gqcrt5ICFjex-NEctWDX8VU3T4qfTB76FIr00Joau0EAKb2BoxKw6FVReyUSRvvuGNuEBYqcX6DSUAlP2hslqfIAe-6iB2-32RNJ2u_7A2VPu93d1doH2G5J/s320/20160416_123020.jpg" /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10252016346810619869noreply@blogger.com1
