Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week ~ Today the whole school were out in force cleaning up rubbish along the pathways, beach front and parks, as part of ‘Keep New Zealand Beautiful Week’. We were proud of our efforts and realise how important it is to keep stunning Tairua beautiful and clean.
On Monday 6 members from the New Zealand army came and told us about their jobs and about how they lived in the army. As part of their training they went for a really long run that is about 20 km. They were all trained with knives and rifles. One of the army officers was a tank driver and he was also trained with really heavy guns. When they visited they had a gigantic antenna too communicate with other army groups in New Zealand. Also they had too big trucks that they drove in. They were green so they camouflaged into the bush. From Carl
Yesterday we celebrated Jump Rope for Heart. It was a fun afternoon where all the student were able to show off their awesome skipping skills. Also a big thanks to all the students who bought along a gold coin to raise money for the Heart Foundation.
Wow….I was extremely impressed with the creativity that was produced for the Art Homework Projects. The students all put so much effort into their projects and were very proud of what they created. They thoroughly enjoyed sharing them to the rest of the class by explaining the processes they went through to make their art piece. For a writing competition that the room 4 students have entered the students were asked to ‘tell us who your role model is and why you look up to them?’ and this is what some of them wrote…..
My role model is Izrael Dagg because he co-cooperated with his team. He self manages himself well because he wouldn’t be an All Black if he didn’t try hard enough. He encourages his team mates to play hard, have a good game and stand tall and that is why Izrael Dagg inspires me. He is also caring because he gives up his time to go and visit sick kids. By Maika Determination, perseverance, and courage is everything my role model Des Hunt demonstrate. He dedicates himself to making astonishing books. He eagerly strives to succeed while showing citizenship and inspired work and setting accurate choices. His work blows me away and when I read this books it’s like I have a golden glow inside of me. By Zion My role model is my brother Kade because he inspires me to follow my dreams and try my best at everything. He sets amazing examples by being a wonderful leader, encouraging others and he is dedicated to everything he does. He is a real mentor to me. By Stella Dan Carter is my role model because he inspires me to follow my dream of becoming an All Black and being a good rugby player. He shows good leadership skills and citizenship and sets a good example for others to follow. By Trident My role model is David Attenborough. He inspires me because he has a passion for animals. He has guided me through the animal kingdom. He is great because he is loyal, trustworthy and reliable. David Attenborough enjoys sharing his incredible knowledge about animals with the world. He is so caring and has created amazing animal TV documentaries. By Georgia My role model is Mrs Hetherington because she always inspires me to not only work hard but play hard too. She also encourages and motivates other students in the class to do their best. Mrs Hetherington is always kind, honest and respects us. By Heidi |
