Some fabulous photos by Mrs Tombolato of our performance to the Junior school.



On the 4 of December the Middle School introduced us to their performance. Their item was called Rainbows. There was a boy called Robert who loved different kind of colours.

The first colour was red. They all sang a song called Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer, Pohutukawa Tree and Take a little Bit of Red. Two girls stood up with red ribbons and waved the ribbons.

The second colour was Orange. The marchers came on. I thought they looked fantastic in their costumes, and they worked so hard to learn the dance.

The third colour was yellow like the bright sun. The Bananas in Pajamas looked silly in their warm Pajamas. Then two people pretended to be Yellow birds.

Now the next colour is green, my favorite colour. The Irish dancers were amazing with their flash costumes. The Irish dancers were amazing!

The next colour was blue, the colour of the sea. For blue they did Blue Suede Shoes. It was just wonderful!

The next colour was indigo, the colour of beetroot. For indigo, it was these two girls who did an indigo rap. They were quite nice after all.

The next colour is purple, the colour of pretty purple poppies! They did the flying purple people eater! It was so funny!

Next they had a girl play the violin and I nearly cried! It was so lovely!

Soon it was the Rainbow Connection. It was all the colours of the rainbow! My favourite part was when they did the waltz. It was so romantic!

My favourite part was when they did the Irish dancing! I think I want to relive it again!

Diary Writing

On super Saturday, I went to the strong, powerful butcher shop to buy the lovely lamb and beef for twenty five dollars.

Then we went to the delicious bakery. We got healthy sandwiches. I crossed the road with my excellent dad.

When we got to our car, we saw my wonderful grandfather so I called him and we went to our lovely home. We put the lamb in the oven.

Finally after 25 minutes the lamb was done. It was delicious. I can’t wait until next time for that lamb.

The Pinnacles

Last Saturday a friend and I walked up a very steep track to the Pinnacles in the Coromandel. It took us 6 hours to go up and back. We were exhausted when we reached the hut, then we still had to climb for another 30 minutes up over 500 steps, 2 ladders and clamber up boulders to get to the very top! It was very hard but very satisfying.

Diary Writing

On super sad Sunday, I skipped through the extremely long grass to the playground.

I was on the monkey bars when my quiet cousin pushed me off and the wood pushed my cuticle back and also damaged my toe nail. My toe nail went white, purple then blue. Now it is very sore to squeeze it hard. It is painful to walk on as well. I am so lucky that my toe nail didn't come right off my skin! I am so lucky that I am not in hospital right now. I am glad that I'm at school and not in hospital.

Then we walked back through the long grass to go home. My favourite part was the monkey bars because you can swing, jump, miss bars and climb. I felt extremely happy and excited to go there.
