korfball

We had lots of fun with korfball on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. In case you are wondering korfball is sort of a mix of netball and basketball. The rules are don't knock the ball out of another players hands, no physical contact and a boy can't mark a girl and a girl can't mark a boy. The only thing is you can't run with the ball. It's pretty simple play. Just get the ball and pass to someone. The good thing is in a game there is about five metres of space BEHIND the korf (hoop) so if the ball goes behind you can just run and pick it up! Our teacher for korfball was a guy named Youri. We had lots of fun competing and I really hope we can do it again!

Janet and Phil visit

The visit from Janet and Phil was awesome! We learnt about the money, the tribes, the food, and the features of life. The south Sudanese have no power, are really hot and their 100 dollar is worth 30 cents in NZ. Their hair grows REALLY curly and their hair and eyes are all the same colour. Their hobbies  are ones like hunting, cooking  and looking after cattle. The children are scarred to show what tribe they are in. It was really fun and watching videos of them dancing. I really hope they can come back again!  Phil in middle Janet in far right

science in a van visit

Hi everyone! The visit from science in a van was awesome!! It was amazing learning about forces and motion. They did heaps of cool experiments and awesome science talks. They taught us about the laws of motion. One of the things they did experiments on was a rubber chicken named Steve. Steve was so lucky he got shot up to the roof (ouch!) by an L&P bottle rocket!🚀 They also did an experiment were you try to get 3 eggs into glasses when knocking on a place mat. The visit from Emily and Allan was amazing.
