Mrs Richards

For the past five weeks we have had a student teacher named Mrs Richards. She came from the Waikato University just to come to our school to learn how to became a teacher.

The last day Mrs Richards spent with us she cooked Chinese food. And there was heaps of different things to try. But Maree and I didn't eat anything because I don't really like Chinese food because my mum always buys Chinese food from the Long Rainbow in Glen Innes and buys it. But anyway I would like to say thanks for all you've done for us and we will miss you heaps.

Our Champions ;

Our 7's team went down to Tauranga to represent our school at the aims games. What is the aims games you might ask? It is a tournament where the NZ boys 7's rugby teams go down represent their school in the aims games against all the other schools.

Our boys played well in all their games and had beaten all schools they challenged and had won the games they were also coached be then 7's rugby coach Gordon Tiegtens. We were all really proud of the boys and what do you know they ended up too became the New Zealand champions.

Our first Badminton session

The shuttle dropped out of my hands as I let it go to serve to my partner on the other side of me. All of a sudden all we heard was "Shuttle!" That was Laureen's way of getting all of our attention.

Thursday the 4th of August Room 22 was the first class to go to the hall and play Badminton. It was really cool because we learnt how to use a badminton racket and a shuttlecock. And the lady that coached us was Laureen form the Auckland badminton Club.

The first activity that Laureen told us to do was to do with how to control the shuttlecock. And the racket we all started off with was a long one but that was hard so I changed to a shorter one. And it was allot easier we had to throw the shuttlecock up into the air and try hit it up and down but hitting it softly.


It was cool when a lady named Laureen showed us heaps of different tricks. And she got a partner Charm and he had to hit the shuttlecock from under his legs. And if he could do that he had to close his eyes to see if he could hit the shuttlecock when Laureen said “ GO “ then he had to count to 3 and then hit the ball from under his leg. And try to see if he could do it.


One of the activities we learnt was how to control the shuttlecock. The point of the game was who could hit the most shuttlecocks into the bin using aim and concentration. It was really cool because I got a shuttlecock into the bin and made my side of the team get points. And guess what our team WON against the other side.

It was cool going to play badminton with Laureen. I really enjoyed it and I so can’t wait until our next session.

Samoa ;

Ms T put us into peers so Maree and I were partners. And the flag we choose to get was Samoa so we found out 5facts about it.

Going through the design process ;

A few weeks ago our class were given a project to identify a problem within our school. And one of the problems identified was affecting the street so our class decided to design and come up with ideas for furniture to be in our street so people will love and care for it.

Next step to the design process is research we had to look for different shapes, so while researching we had to attribute to see if our project is safe , Practical , Innovative and if it would take up to much space so it includes size too.

The third step to the design process is Generating ideas so after researching our ideas we had to generate them and try to make them our own ideas. So we don’t copy other peoples ideas from the Internet.

Fourth step to the design process is to Find solutions. When we are finding solutions we have to see if we solved our problems or even finding answers to our questions.

The fifth step to the design process is to evaluate. And guess what? we evaluate through the whole design process we needed to evaluate in every step of the way. Because we always change things while we are working on our design.

And the last step to the design process is to reflect on what we did but through the design process we always reflect on what we are doing all the time. Just like when we are evaluating.
