Rubbish!

It is really special to have native bushes in New Zealand. Throwing rubbish in our bushes is not good because it kills the native trees, animals and insects. If there are a lot of plastic bags in the rivers and the ocean, they will kill fish and other sea life.

Road Safety

Road safety is a good thing, it teaches you how to cross the road safely. Car crashes are not a good thing because they can kill you. Red light means to stop. Orange light means to slow down. And green light means to go.

NZSL Week

Last week we celebrated New Zealand Sign Language Week. It is important to learn sign language so we can communicate with people that are deaf. In that week I learnt how to sign my name; my favourite sign is 'computer'. Alana came in to help us learn some more sign language, she taught us the abc's, names of animals and colours too. Alana played Ninga Bingo with the whole class. I really enjoyd playing Bingo, it was fun!.

Stop Littering!

It is important to not litter in our native bushes because rubbish ends up in rivers and the Pacific Ocean. Plastic is created by humans but is killing our native species and insects, that's why we have to stop littering. In the U.S.A people have been dumping their rubbish in rivers and the Pacific Ocean. In NZ many people leave their rubbish in native bushes. Native bushes are a taonga to maori people. We need to protect them so the kiwi, insects and native birds do not die.

ANZAC Day by Renata

ANZAC Day means a lot to me because everybody celebrates it. My family makes ANZAC biscuits and our whanau gets together. On ANZAC Day I wake up and then wake up my family so we can celebrate and put some music on really loud.

I like ANZAC Day!

R3 CLASS PARACHUTES

Ruma Toru made parachutes during Science. Materials we used were: plastic bags,string, paper, scissors and a hole punch. We folded newspaper and cut out a template then used the pattern to cut out a plastic copy. Holes were punched in the corners and string was threaded through and tied, then we knotted all the pieces of string. Next we went outside on the playground to test our parachutes, the first time we tried it fell to the ground quickly. Our class discovered that when we added too much weight to our parachutes they fell to the ground fast. As we threw our parachutes off the playground, we felt excited, and happy.

ANZAC Day means a lot to me...

ANZAC stands for Australia and New Zealand Army Corp.  ANZAC Day is a national holiday in Australia and New Zealand. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the first world war.
