My trip to Fiji

Have you been to Fiji? Well after this post, you will want to go.  My family went to  Plantation Island for three days.

My favourite day at Plantation was when we went on a boat to Bounty Island and went diving on the reef. My favourite fish was the parrot fish.  It was bright pink and dark green and blue. Then we went to the floating trampoline and then we went back on the boat.  After the days on Plantation we went to the mainland then we went to First Landing. We stayed here for the rest of  the week then we went to the airport and went back to NZ.

Awesome Art!

In Art this week we have been doing Printmaking. First we needed to cut out shapes. Then we had to glue down the shapes onto a piece of paper in a pattern. It was quite fun to experiment with all the ways you can put the shapes into patterns.

My Holiday

My Holiday

 

At the start of the holidays I went to a few different clubs. E.g. Art Classes, Sport Clubs, and School Holiday Programs.

 

In the Middle Weekend I went to Pauanui with my grandparents. We went on a long bush-walk through huge, giant rivers.

 

In the 2nd week we went to more Art Classes. Some days we went to look at houses and the rest we stayed at home.

Money Week

This week it was Money Week. Room 19 needed to learn about all the coins and notes. Here are the New Zealand coins and notes:

 

10c, 20c, 50c, $1, $2, $5, $10, $50, $100.

 

We learned why we value money. Here is a question for you:

 

Would it be worth carrying around money if you can't buy anything with it?

Welcome back to Term 4

Kia Ora, Talofa, Namaste, Ni Hao, Malo-e-lelei Everyone!

Hope you all had a great holiday!  We are now back to our final term of the year.

This week has been a busy one for our school.  Earlier this week we welcomed our visitors from Serpell Primary who are from Melbourne, Australia.

On Wednesday the Kapa Haka group and Dilworth Boys School performed some maori songs to the Serpell Primary students. The Serpell Primary boys learnt the Haka and I think they really enjoyed it.

Serpell have been welcomed to school by our Kapa Haka Group

This week was Diwali. Diwali is all about the festival of lights. We were really lucky to have a dance group from India to come to Meadowbank School to show us a few dance moves. One person from each class got to go and try some moves and lucky Mojdeh got to try some. They had a Diwali festival in Aotea square. The Diwali festival had lots of food stalls, activities, rides, dances and art.

Jacob`s holiday

In the holiday I went to the movies and I watched house of magic.  I thought it was amazing and my favourite part was when the little mouse said he's cuter than the old rabbit. I thought it was funny.  I think you will like it. I watched it with my cousins  and my grandad. My cousins names are Ashlee and Catelyn.

Amazing Holidays

Wow! I bet none of your holidays were as nice as mine.The first thing I did in the holidays was go to Whangarei for the first week of the holidays. (The trip was boring). 

But when we got there that was when the fun began. The unit we were in was unit 12. After we had been there for 2 days my dad and I went into the swimming pool and the spa.The rest of the week we had fancy meals and having fun. My sister and I had snacks and watched Percy Jackson and the sea of monsters and we played monopoly.

The next week we went to Auckland again just in time for the power cut which was sad for us. But after the power cut  I got 10,9 and 8th place in the world in a game called uphill rush, I also got to level 15 in a game called Frizzle Fraz.
