...And the winner is...
The Crocodile by Roald Dhal
Today we held the annual Middle School Poetry recital and we had 14
wonderful contestants. Although all of them were fantastic there had to be a winner.
This year we were lucky enough to have the awesome J.T in room 22 and his recital of The Crocodile won the top award!
What an achievement Joe!
Congratulations from all of the class :-)
From the moo to you ...
As part of our Inquiry this term Mrs Reid let us work together in groups to create our own milk carton full of facts about how milk is made. We decided the roles we would have in our groups then decided what we wanted to find out. Next we used books previous work and the internet to help find the answers.
We spent the day creating and making our milk cartons and we all worked together in out team very well. Once we had completed our carton we shared it to the classroom. We also had to evaluate how well we had worked together.
Mrs Reid was really impressed with our efforts and outcomes.

What an adventure
Dear Room 22
As you know I surprised Avadee with a trip to Niue.
We visited the NZ high commission and dropped off some microchips to the police, as well as taking over some medical supplies. We did some vaccinations and health checks and treated two dogs that had been gored by a wild pig.
But we also found some great time for snorkelling, eating and hiking!
The Togo Chasm (pronounced Tongo) was a real highlight. You hike through about 20 minutes of bush, then out onto a clifftop track that is concreted into the large rock formations, a very narrow path that winds down to a little cove at the bottom. But just as you reach the bottom you arrive at a huge ladder, about 3 storeys high. Avadee scaled it like a monkey.
We snorkelled a lot, saw heaps of lovely marine life, including snakes.
Ate at some of the great restaurants (Niue boasts one of the top Japanese restaurants in the world).
Enjoyed great coke floats!
Bought some native jewellery.
And caught up with lots of great friends I have made on the island (most people know who I am now - there is only 1400 of them on the island (but 25,000 in NZ!).
I look forward to our next clinic there in April next year.
Kind regards, Sasha
