Making polyhedrons in Maths.

Poetry in motion. We have been writing poetry in Room 7 this week. We are learning a lot about language devices in poetry. This is Telesia's poem. It is not yet finalised but her draft is exciting enough to post.

A light that beams with joy

Through bad or good cases

The light that it provides

When there is only dark

In your light I forget my misery

For I can face them tomorrow

A light that I look up to

To seek guidance and wisdom

A light so peaceful and tranquil

That shines a path as a guide

A light that I follow after

For it is my sun that shines

brightly towards me

A light that slowly burn

When anger is around

But the light which shines within

Will always be my sparkle

On Friday 1 June our school went to the Aotea Centre to spend a day learning about The Arts. It was a wonderful time to experience being on stage and performing with Avondale Intermediate. We learnt about lighting, singing, back stage, careers, costumes and many more. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

My exciting weekend with Dad

Last Saturday morning Dad and I went to Rainbows End. I was excited to go on the rides. The first ride I went on were the bumper cars. It was my favourite because  I like to bumping people and I bumped Sale the most. The other people were just riding around and the ride was over and we went on the bumper boat and I was wet because the water was coming on me. I asked my Dad for some food and he said yes and we ate hot dogs and we drank a Fanta after all our rides we left rainbow End  when it was evening I felt tired but happy at the same time I want to do more fun stuff with my Dad
