Digital Cameras

Today we learnt how to download photos on to our computers. Here are some of our photos we took.

My Dream Home

In our class room we have been writing about our dream homes. There is no money limit so we could have what ever we wanted. All of K4 picked up their pens and we got our imaginations going.

Here is some of my favourite parts in my story.
Hello, let me take you on an amazing journey.
Behind the waterfall there is a rock room full of all the candy you can imagine.
Inside my garage is a Grand Torino, an American Muscle car and a gorgeous shiny, black truck.

This term

This term I am looking forward to Battle of the Houses, athletics and to see who is going to win the house trophy. 

I can't wait!!!!

Forensic Science

Forensic Science was really fun because we had to investigate a crime scene. Before K4 went over to the crime scene we got a head start and did a witness sheet for homework and a stolen car report.When we over to the crime scene in the hard materials room we had to write a scenario to go along with what was on our table. My favourite part was watching the Kaituna Court along with Judge Iti, the Defence Lawyer Mr Green and the police prosecutor.

speech

My speech was on the legends of Pegasus. It was really scary standing up in front of the class to read my speech out loud. I think I did quite well.

I took part in the school Science Fair along with my friend Estelle and our question was does the colour of light used on plants affect how well the plants will grow? It was really fun creating our Science Fair board.

Dear Norm Hewitt

Thank you for teaching us about how to set our goals, how to treat and love our pets and welcome them to be part of our family.

Your show that you performed to us was really inspiring. You taught us how trust one another and set our goals straight.

I liked it how you told us a story and then changed it into another story. I didn't notice that you changed your story to a completely different one.

My goals are to play for New Zealand’s netball team, the Magic’s and be a baker.

Now that I know how to set my goals I’m going to try and accomplish them.

From,

Casey

Lake Rotoma Camp 2013 The flat, dry camp site as I set up my tent The stinky horrible stench of the portaloos The whispering beautiful sound of the wind as I have my nice hot creamy milo The rough stoney sand rub up against my feet as I go kayaking Yummy mouth watering burgers as they slide down my throat I think Lake Rotoma was amazing By Casey Flavell Campbell

Cross country

In week 4 or 5 we have our cross country. The school has to run about 7km. My learning centre and I have been practising for it we run 3km around the block,I like to run the short block backwards because we go down hill.

camp 2013

I had a really fun time at camp. I finally had time to get a way from my family although i missed my parents. We had a good time,i spent time with my friends. We got there and set up our tents,then we had a little snake. It was dinner time. In the morning we wokeup at 7:00 and went for our morning run along the lake side. We did that about every morning. We had to do some activities,but fun activities. On tuesday night we went for a night walk down to the lake to hear a leagend about that lake,that there was a island in the middle of it and a man got so mad he made that island sink and all the people drowned. Anyway back to our camp we went for a early run in the morning and done more activities. Everybody was waiting,waiting for the Burma trail. Finally it came to that time, Poppa roger told a story but i did not believe it it was all a set up into getting into doing the Burma trail. the next day was the same thing,morning run and activities. I really enjoyed this years camp, my favourite activty was bush survival with Matua Val and Matua Pryor. Big thankyou to teachers of kaituna and Misses Little.
