We were excited to take part in the Get NZ Writing Project again this year. The children wrote metaphors about themselves and published these on the postcards. The project opened up lots of discussion about always being open to new ideas by meeting new people.
"Every person is a new door to a different world"
Here's what Ryder had to say about our class!
"Room 15 is a pizza because a pizza has all different types of food on it and because everybody is from a different place in the world - interesting and delicious!"
Our poster and postcards are winging their way to a school in New Plymouth! We can't wait to receive our package and make some new friends.

Cross Country - What a Stunning Day!
Wow! What an amazing day we had on Friday with the whole school giving it their all on the Cross Country course. In Te Kanawa's Marae, our Year 5's were first up - the boys, then the girls. It was a long way! 2.1kms through not only our school but the OLA site as well. Loads of the parents were there to support their children and everyone else. It was a wonderful event. Eadie was placed 2nd in the Year 5 race.
Then, after such a long wait, and the heat of the day very evident, our Year 4's took to the course and what a race! Zoe took out 2nd place for the Year 4 girls. Yay!
The whole class had a happy morning and they were fantastic cheerleaders and support crews for their younger siblings, friends, and buddies.
