A postcard from Rotorua

In Room 14, we have been going on imaginary vacations to different places all around New Zealand. At each stop, we have to send a postcard to Miss Venturi, our teacher, to let her know what we've been getting up to. Here is Temura's postcard from Rotorua.




Dear Miss Venturi

When I went to Rotorua I visited the luge and it was scary as can be but wait there’s more, I went bungy jumping down a tall tower, then the pools it was awesome fun. My best bit was the spa, you know us girls and how we feel about our spa! Right? We love it. I went in the hot mud pools and then had a massage, it was so peaceful with my family in Rotorua. I love holidays and they LOVE me!

Love Temura U. Shelley

Yendarra School Athletics Day

On the tenth of November 2009, all of the Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 children at Yendarra School gathered under the canopy for Athletics Day. When all of the classes were under the canopy, Miss Takatainga explained the rules. After the teachers had their meeting in Room 11, they took their groups and started the first activity. We did lots of sports like long jump, hurdles, soccer dribble, relays, shot put, 100m and 400m sprints and softball throw. It was a beautiful sunny day with lots of fresh air. We had to do lots of running and jumping. We all started to sweat a lot! Mia liked the sprinting and long jump. Temura's favourite activities were relays and softball throw. The day was really fun! At the end of the day, Ms Dunlop gave all the teachers and children an ice block. Yum! Thanks Ms Dunlop. We all loved athletics day.
