In those days my nana didn't have to pay for the bus. Nana Tilly and her friends rode horses to school. If you went on the bus, it was free! But there wasn't a bus near where my nana lived.

When My Nana Tilly was a Young Girl
In my nana's days of growing up, she had no shoes. It was freezing cold! My nana Tilly and her brothers used to race for the freshest cow patties. If you were slow, you got dry, ugly, brown patties and your feet would be cold because the patties were hard. If you were fast, your feet would be warm because the patties were green and steaming hot!
In those days my nana didn't have to pay for the bus. Nana Tilly and her friends rode horses to school. If you went on the bus, it was free! But there wasn't a bus near where my nana lived.

Essica's awesome autobiography!!!
Kia Ora Koutou! I'm Essica and this is my autobiography. Read on to learn about my interesting life and fascinating facts about myself.
I was born in the friendly and caring Kawakawa Hospital, with a brother, nana, papa , cousin, and last of all, my father, watching me be born. This was on the eighth of the twelfth, two thousand and four.
When I was two years old, I loved to play outside and always got dirty. I still love playing outdoors, especially climbing trees. Did you know I broke my arm once because I fell out of a tree?
At three years old, I started Kindergarten at Mokopuna in Moerewa, then started Kawakawa Primary School when I was six years old. I eventually moved to Pakaraka School have been at this school for three years. I have two years to go until I go to College! HORAY!
When I grow up I want to be a veterinarian, so I can help sick and injured animals get better because I love pets. I just can't resist cute animals!

Celia Lashliy
Sadly, Celia Lashlie, a researcher known for her work with women in prisons and work with boys, past away last month on the sixteenth of February, 2015, from pancreatic cancer.
Celia was a manager of Christchurch's Woman's Prison. She started to understand problems that at risk families were facing. She believed we need to start with woman in families because they can break the cycle of their shocking childhood experiences, and work towards providing a better future for their children.
Also known for her work in New Zealand's men's prisons, Celia realized when these men were boys, they made split decisions that landed them in jail and worked towards helping teenage boys make better choices.
Celia Lashlie's work has helped many New Zealanders understand the importance of dealing with the core problems our people face everyday. She has written three books; The Journey to Prison: Who goes and why, He’ll Be Ok, Growing Gorgeous Boys into Good Men and The Power of Mothers: Releasing Our Children.

Welcome to Ruma Toru's Blog 2015
Kia Ora Koutou! Welcome to Ruma Toru's Blog. Please follow our class blog to keep up to date with our learning journey. We also invite you to respond to our mahi by leaving a comment at the end of children's work.
2015 started with a mighty bang and we hit the ground running. Senior students are extremely excited about the new learning that is taking place in our classroom and school. Our theme for topic this term is Aotearoa, New Zealand. Tamariki have been exploring te Tiriti o Waitangi (the Treaty of Waitangi), and are currently investigating how past and present sporting events impact on people and places in New Zealand, with a focus on the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
Coding is currently being rolled out to the whole school and has grabbed the attention our tamariki. This exciting programme allows children to create their own interactive stories, games and animations. Extra classroom cameras has inspired Ruma Toru students to become budding photographers, film makers, editors, and presenters, where they create their own videos and slideshows. Watch this space for mind-blowing creations!
