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.

Science Fair
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
