Recount: Kiwi Can

What we did at Kiwi Can Yesterday:

Yesterday, on Thursday the 12 of March 2015, we had another Kiwi Can session with Miss Tuia and Mr Numia after Morning Tea. Today our theme was about Negotiation and Cooperation.

When we got to their classroom, Miss Tuia and Mr Numia greeted us. Then we went up to the field. Then we started our energiser. The energiser we did was a game called Letters, where Miss Tuia said a letter, and we had to try and make it with people.

When we finished playing our energiser, Mr Numia and Miss Tuia separated us into two groups to start our activity called Code breaker, where you have to try and negotiate with your team which hula hoops you jump through to make the right letter, and when you do, you get a part of a quote, and the person who as the quote wins. After we finished our game, we found out that team 2 won. The quote they had was: ‘Many hands make light work’.

After that we got into a circle and played GKQ (General knowledge questions) where Mr Numia asks us a question that we are supposed to know, and if we get it right, everyone shouts GKQ.

After GKQ, Mr Numia said "Goodbye room 10", and then we clapped our hands two times on our knees, twice together, and said ‘KC Shoo’. Then Mr Numia and Miss Tuia gave out our points. we got 24 out of 25.

Going to Kiwi Can was so fun, and you actually learn when you go there, and Miss Tuia and Mr Numia are really kind, and they help us whenever we need help. We are very lucky to have them at our school.

Recount: Butterfly Creek

Butterfly Creek Recount:

On Monday, the 9th of March 2015, room 9 and 10 from Glenbrae School went to butterfly creek to learn about dinosaurs. We really enjoyed our day. Here is a recount I wrote to tell you what we did.

When we got to Butterfly Creek, our tour guide met us. She told us her name was Sanita, and she said that it was a pleasure to have us. Then she took us to the Dinosaur Kingdom to explore. After exploring for about 2-3 minutes, she took us inside to a room. Then she asked us some questions about dinosaurs. After about 5-10  minutes talking about dinosaurs, she introduced us to Paul.

Paul was one of the people who looked after the animals. When it was Paul’s turn to talk, he asked also asked us what we know about dinosaurs. After about 5-10 minutes, he asked us if there were any relatives to dinosaurs that are still living. We knew that there were Wetas,Tuataras and also crocodiles that were around before and after the dinosaurs died out.

Then Sanita took my class to the train. Sanita jumped to the front carriage. She was the one that was going to drive the train. Then we jumped on the train and had a little ride around, which only took about 4-5 minutes. When we got back to the station, we hopped out and went to the farm.

When we got to the farm, we saw a lot of animals. We saw Bunnies, Rabbits,Chickens, Hamsters, Pigs, Tortoises, birds, a Llama, and a dog named Mila. When I saw Mila, I started playing with her. She was a very energetic dog. When I asked how old she was, Sanita told me that she was a year and a half. Then I started playing with the Bunnies. The Bunnies were very cute.

When it was time to go, Sanita took us to the Butterfly house. The butterfly house was very hot, because the butterflies were tropical butterflies. Tropical butterflies need a lot of heat to stay warm, which was why the room they were in was warm. After looking at the butterflies, we went to look at the Crocodiles. Their names were Goldie and Scar.After looking at Scar and Goldie, we went to have lunch.

After Lunch, we went back to the Crocodile Tanks to watch Scar perform a show. After Scar had finished entertaining us, Sanita and Paul brought us a Tranchilla to show us. When someone asked to touch it, Paul said no, because it was dangerous.

When it was time to go, someone asked Siosifa to say a farewell speech to Sanita and Paul. Siosifa said thanks for showing us around, and that we enjoyed our day very much. Then it was time to go.

Going to butterfly Creek was very fun and I learnt a lot. I would also like to go back there to learn more some other time.

After School

Kia Ora everyone. I would like to tell you all about my wonderful  day I had yesterday after school.
My sister came to pick me and my little sister up. I asked her ‘Where is dad’? she told me that he was at the doctors and we were going to pick him up. So  we drove to the doctors and waited for him to come out. Not long after we saw him come out of the doctors and came into the car, he told my sister to drive the car home please. My sister started the car and drove home. When we got home I went  straight to my room and got changed into my home clothes and carefully ran down the stairs, got the TV remote from the couch and I turned the TV on and watched Spongebob Squarepants. We made dinner and finished watching my favourite movie, H20 just add water. When it finished it was five o’clock and the news was on and my mum came home. We had dinner and this was at seven o’clock. After that I had a shower and got changed into my pyjamas and brushed my teeth ready for bed at eight thirty. I enjoyed my day because I went to school and learnt lots of things and had heaps of fun.
