Netball Tournament
Netball-Tournament
On June the 2nd some year 6s and year 5s went to a netball tournament in Howick at the Pakuranga Netball Centre. We played about 6-7 games against other schools. The first team we versed was Mayfield School and the score was 8 nill but we won. I was the captain for netball and Elizabeth was the co captain.The boys came 5th and the girls came 2nd we only lost by 1 point against East-Tamaki school.The game was fun and exciting. The game was about having fun not winning.

Weta Project
Awesome visitor.
We had a man named Josh come to room 18 to teach us how to design a weta house. We are learning all about weta. Before we started off the weta houses we learnt about the design process and had a go making our own tool boxes that could hold 25 tools. I designed a bag that has pocket to put your tools in and there is a little pocket which is see through to see your nails and other small bits. Josh showed us a machine that they had designed that gives air to breathe and it is easy to put together. I had a lot of fun so I hope we see him again.

A guy named Josh came to our classroom and talked about his job. He works at Fisher and Paykel Healthcare. We were designing a toolbox that has 25 tools and is light and is able to be carried.
Josh came around and looked at our plans, and he said my groups idea was a very fantastic idea. We were designing a briefcase design for tools.
Next time he comes to our class, we will be designing weta houses and getting his feedback!

New Buddy Blogs
We now have our own individual blogs which can be found on the right hand side of our page. We will use our main page to repost some of our blog posts and share projects and things we do as a class.
We also have new blogging buddies from Marshall Laing Primary in Mt Roskill. Each student in our class is buddied up with a student from Miss Lobo's class. We are really looking forward to working with them.
Check out some of the wonderful things we are doing

Making Ice-cream
Hi my name is Irene and I’m talking about science. The teacher for science is Whaea Tepora. This week we made ice-cream. First we put ice in a big packet then we put rock salt with the ice to keep the ice nice and cold.
Next we put cream in a small packet and added vanilla essence. After that we put the small bag of cream into the big bag then shook it for 5 minutes. Then you have got ice-cream. You can make other flavours too by adding different ingredients.
I hope you can follow these steps - if you do then enjoy your ice-cream.

Get Writing NZ
R18 has been super lucky to be involved in Schoolkit NZ's get writing activity. We completed 32 postcards and wrote some exciting metaphors to go on the back. We also did a Ko Wai Au sheet about our class with lots of interesting facts about us. One of things that was a surprise to us was how many kids we had in our families. Can you guess the total amount? We bet you can't!Sunday, 30 October 2016
An Unexpected Visitor!
Last week, during a routine lesson, Mrs Northey was interrupted by an unexpected prickly visitor shuffling along the deck between R17 & R18...a hedgehog!Mrs Northey tried to coax it into Fogavai's spacious shoe, but it was too frightened. Instead, Helena sacrificed her jumper and Mrs Northey wrapped the spiky fella in a cocoon of material. Gently lifting 'Prickle' (as we named him) up, we took him/her to Whaea Tepura to ask advice. We learnt a few things during this time:
* Hedgehogs love eating snails and slugs, which means they are friends to our gardens.
* Bread and/or milk is not okay for them to eat - it will make them very sick!
We decided to place Prickle in the butterfly garden because it had a higher chance of not being trampled on by students at morning tea time. Room 18 enjoyed patiently watching Prickle surface from the confines of Helena's jumper. He took one sniff of the rotting pear we provided him then scampered off into the flax bushes.
Good luck little guy!
Isabella

Isabella is the most gorgeous woman with pretty brown skin and she is as friendly as a pug. She is slender as a stick with beautiful brown curly hair. Then Johnnivy came, her boyfriend was happy and Isabella was surprised to see him. she turned around she knew, she was super excited then a big SPLASH!!! Johnnivy was gone Isabella was worried so much she faints dramatically whats going to happen next.
Perfect Pancakes
"Yum!!" I shouted as I drooled at the puffy delicious pancakes with golden syrup. As I bit the pancakes I felt like my taste buds were in Wonderland. I got a growling because I was eating like a pig, but it was worth it. The puffy delicious pancakes made my saliva come out and drip down onto my plate.
