B11’s Trip to Palmers Road

Have you ever been to Palmers Road to

plant trees before?

What a beautiful sunny day, today B11 and B10 went on a trip on a sunny day to plant some trees and plants, the trees and plants we planted were Totara, Kowai and  

Manuka with spades and shovels.

I was so happy and excited to plant for my first time at Palmers Road. While planting and digging I found stuff , I found a shell.

Whaea Coral and I helped plant the trees and plants, also Elarnia and I were planting and I thought I saw money but it was a piece of plastic, when Grace and I were next to each other I saw a worm and I threw it to her, it was funny, we all laughed.

After we finish our planting we got ready to go back to school.

My holiday by Waimihi

My holidays

In the holidays I went to Wellington to see my family. I was so excited to go but I was not excited for the eight hour drive. I said “good bye” to my mum. My aunty, cousins and I set off on the road. We left at 10.am and got there at 6.pm.

While we were in the car driving, we had some technical difficulties with my mum’s car radio, the DVD player wasn’t working, so I hopped in the front seat and fixed it. We were so excited to go to Wellington. We were all hungry so we stopped to get something to eat. My cousin and I had pizza while my brother, aunty and my other cousins had subway. When my cousin and I went over to order the pizza, we saw that the pizza was 15 dollars. So we went back to tell my aunty and she said “I’ll get it for you.” After we ate we went back on the road. 

We stopped again, just for gas. When we knew that we were nearly in Wellington, we were so excited. When we got there I didn’t want to go back home. The week went so fast, we had to leave on Thursday but that didn't happen. We went to the mall and then we went on my cousin’s uncle’s boat and we got to jump off the boat. The water was freezing cold. The next day we went in the car to travel back to Auckland.   

                                                   

                                           

Trip To Palmers Rd ( Aniora)

Trip To Palmers Road

Come one get ready to walk down to the gate and wait for the bus to pick us up.

Today B11 and B10 are going to Palmers Road to plant some beautiful trees.We first got our name tags, said the roll and got our water bottles just in case we got thirsty.We met B10 downstairs and they were all ready to go.When we walked to the gate we got straight onto the bus because it was already there waiting for us.We went around the roundabout and over a few bumps.

When we arrived to Palmers Rd we had to line up next to B10.Then three Auckland Councils came and introduced themselves to both of the classes.Their names were Paul, Sarah and Kara.They will be teaching us how to plant at tree properly.The first step is to get yourself a spade and dig a hole in the ground. Make sure it's not to deep or not to shallow. Also make sure you don't dig your hole next to a tree root. Step two, place your plant into your hole and press the dirt that you dug out, push that on top of your plant and make sure it's really in there and cannot get out or wiggle.

So B10 dug on the far side while we dug on the other side.We also had partners. I paired up with Jorjah.The plants were already where you have to dig so we got our spades and started digging .We also planted in another area where you can see the beach. It was a beautiful view.

Maybe after like an hour we had to come back together and put everything away because it was time to go back to school. So we washed our hands from a big container filled with water.

When we were all cleaned up we walked in two lines and walked back to school.

We walked through the tunnels and across the roads.When we arrived back to school, we walked back to class to write our recount. I enjoyed planting trees, it was fun.

Meet and greet JBS by (Dendae)

Meet and greet JBS

I've been on many trips, outing trips but not a trip like this!

When Jean batten school arrived I was so nervous because they looked

so so tall. I was wondering which person was my buddy but then I found out.

After a while we finally made it back to class and our first class was room 3. Once Mrs Puna finished calling out all the instructions for our stem I ran to my friend called Serenity.

Afterwards the time was up and Mrs Vaevae came to inspect who the winner was, and the winner was Roberts group.

At last we packed up and left to the hall to have some morning tea.

Finally the bell rang to play, Mele and I went to the Tongan unit to help B11’s ice-block fundraiser.

JBS Meet and Greet (Zhendy)

JBS Meet and Greet

“OMG, JBS is coming to our school” Today B11 and B4 went to the hall to meet JBS  in person for the first time, after blogging with them for quite a while.

To start off B11 went outside the class and lined up then walked to the hall. We saw Jean Batten School Room 2 and 3. Mrs Puna signalled Kate and I to say our welcome speech to them.  After we said our speech, we told everyone to say “hi” to the person next to them. The teachers that were with us were,Whaea Susan, Mrs Puna, Whaea Teagan, Mr Jackson, Mrs Vaevae, Whaea Nardi and Whaea Sarah. Whaea Susan released us to our class to do our stem activity so we walked to our class. Mrs Puna called out the leaders of the group to stand up, then she told the rest of the students to go to their leaders. Since Katerine was away, I had to be in charge of all three students, their name are Rosalia, Jessica and Peti. They were all  year 6’s and they are from JBS room 3.

The activity we were going to do was to build a spaghetti and marshmallow tower, whoever built the tallest and longest standing tower was the winner.

We started to build the tower by poking the spaghetti into the marshmallow and created a square tower. What we had to do was to build the spaghetti tower was to poke a spaghetti stick in the marshmallow. Our tecnique was to have a square base and keep going up but it wasn’t strong enough, so it collapsed. After building our tower we cleaned up the class room, Mrs Puna gave a prize to the group who had the tallest tower, then we walked to the hall to eat morning tea.

The last class we had was JBS room 2. We did the exact same thing as the other class. My buddies were Rubayat and two other students but I don't remember their names. At the start our tower started off great but at the end it turned out to be a complete fail. After that we had lunch, Aniora, Jorjah, Destiny, Navaeh and I went to sell the ice-blocks. Navaeh and destiny are Aniora buddies.

When the bell rang it was time for JBS to leave, so we said our thank you’s and farewell’s. We walked back to class to write about our day. I was so happy to meet my JBS buddies in person.

Trip To Palmers Road

Do you like planting “I don't like planting but sometimes I love planting!”

Today on a lovely Tuesday B11 and B10

went on a trip to Palmers Road. If your

wondering why we went to Palmers Road it's because, we are planting. Lets get on with the story wait, no! its a recount.

When I arrived at school in the morning I went inside and said “hi” to Zhendy, she said hi back.

When the bell rang B11 sat down on the mat and Mrs Puna asked us if we had our hats,water bottles, lunch and spare clothes, “B11 said yes, yes, yes and yes.”

It was time to get change into our spare clothes,when we finished we ate our lunch. It was time to line up outside the class and we walked downstairs.We walked to the front of the gate and B10 was at the back of us. Whe we walked on to the bus, Mrs Puna gave us a number and my number was six.

We arrived at Palmers Road, and there were three beautiful and handsome people from Auckland Council their names were Paul,Sarah and Kara, they told us what to do and where the plants were.

We had to find a buddy and mine was Zhendy. We went to get a shovel and started to plant.

The trees that we planted was called  Totara , Flax and Kowkai trees.

When we finished planting we put our shovels away and went to the Auckland Council van to wash our hands.

We started to walk to school, it was boring so I talked to Kate about our houses.

We arrived at school and I yelled yay.
