Australia Day

Today we had a Parade of Nations.  We dressed in green and gold, the colours of the Australian rugby team.  We had corks on our hats to keep the flies away while we showed our Aboriginal artwork and recited our poem 'Koala Sam'.

Tongan Team Training

We all made flags and practised cheering before we went and watched  the Tongan team train.

Blackout Day

Can you see the NZ our school made to show our support for the All Blacks last Friday?  Our class were part of the Z.  Thank you all for dressing in black and joining in the fun.

Making Lamingtons

Our class is finding out about Australia during the Rugby World Cup.  Lamingtons were first made in Australia.  We had fun making them in our class.
This is Willem's recount about making lamingtons.
On Monday we made lamingtons.  First we cut the sponge cake.  Next we dipped it in chocolate.  Finally we rolled it in the coconut.  It was yummy.  I wish I could make them again.

Swimming at Huia Pool

We all learnt heaps of new skills at the Huia.  We can float and we loved using noodles to help us.
