Te Tuhi Trip

Last Week Tuesday Class 2 went on a trip to Te Tuhi Art Gallery. We had to go on a bus cause Te Tuhi Art Gallery was in Pakuranga.  Te Tuhi Art Gallery Centre is a public Area.  

When We got there we had two speakers for the day. First thing they told us was to follow the rules and listen to what they say. The rules they told us was simple there were only three rules one was, Don’t touch anything, Listen out, Whisper.

We follow them to the art class to do art. We were doing traditional Tapa from Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, and other cultures that do it but mostly we were focusing was on Tonga, Samoa, and Fiji they all have different names like In Tonga, Tapa is known as Ngatu, In Fiji, There Tapa is known as Masi, And In samoa It is known as Siopo.

JUMP JAM is simple for teachers to learn and loads of fun for both boys and girls.

Yr 8 Camp

As everyone arrived to school we were told to put our bags down in the hall then we were put into our team groups. When we were done getting into our team groups Levi stood up and said a prey.

we started to load up the bus and when we were done loading everyones bags on the bus  we were told to go on any of the two buses that were there. saying our goodbye to our parents was sad for some people because that won’t be able to see them for 1 week.

Everyone was happy when we reached waipu because we were nearly to our camping area when we got to this beach everyone didn’t know what was happening.

Until Mrs Squires told us to take our shoes off then mrs squires told us we are going for a long walk.

then we end up walking to this beach having a rest and people swimming then we had to go on the bus heading to camp when we reached camp we meet Michael the owner he took us for tour around the place we were camping.

we had to line up in our team lines to see who can be the first team to set up their cabins and be the first one in the shower.

as everyone was done setting up their cabins and finish having a shower you were allowed to have free time until it was dinner.

Immersion Assembly

Every term Our school teachers does performances for us to inspire us into our school theme. We have been doing this immersion assembly since this school was built I think.

Our school topic is all about ART ATTACK I'm looking forward to it because I like painting with my friends. When everyone was here in our classroom we went though the breeze into our wonderful hall and sat down while everyone else arrived. I could see all the teachers all dressed up in different colors like team 2 was in primary colours.

Moving on to Mr Burt, well he called up team one to do their performance or video. They did a performance for the whole school.

Then Mr Burt called up team by team. My favorite was Team 4, because Mr S Was Speaking funny. He was speaking in a Russian accent instead of French The whole school was laughing.

Team 5 was creative they painted Mr Burt, Mrs Jarman, and Mr Jacobson Upside down everyone didn't know who was it until they turned it the right way everyone was amazed by their work they had done.

Wesley College rugby tournament

23rd of September 2014 Our rugby team are leaving to Wesley College for a rugby tournament out in Paerata, Paerata is located in South of Auckland.

We are leaving our school at 6:30 or 7:30am at the latest.

I think we will do amazing because our team has been training so hard and putting a lot of effort in just for a tournament.

Well not just for a tournament we are doing it for our school, family, And even representing East Side. You can get scouted to wesley college and you could  can have an opportunity to go there.

We will be versing other teams from south I think it will be a challenge for us because south always has huge people and even fat big people in their teams.

South has always been a competitive team because we always meet them in the finals or meet them in auckland champs.
