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.
