Trip To The Auckland Central Library

On Thursday the 29th of May we visited the Auckland Central Library.  The children's area is quite new and is very cool.  There are lots of awesome books to read and fun places to read them.  We went up stairs to the George Grey Specialist section where we saw the smallest and the oldest books the library have.  We were even allowed to have our morning tea in the library.  Later we got to go down into the lower levels of the library where they store lots of books and other things such as maps.  It was amazing.  We also did a quiz and a rebus and Mrs Venville read us some stories.

Vector Stay Safe around Electricity Presentation

Today we had a presentation by Tracey from Vector about how to stay Stay Safe around Electricity.  We are going to talk to our parents tonight about what we learnt and find out where the switchboard is in our house so that if there is an emergency we know how to turn the power off.

Our Trip To The Look At The Tamaki River And Mount Wellington For Our Mihi

On Friday the 7th of March the Middle School and some of our parents walked down to look at the Tamaki River and Mount Wellington as part of our preparation for writing our Mihis.  Three students from Room 16 said their mihi then whaea told us a Maori legend from the area.  Lastly we sang a song  and had our morning tea.  The weather was beautiful and we all had a great time.
