Brunner Mine Visit

On Monday my class went to the Brunner Mine site for a visit.   We have been reading the book - A Mines Afire,  which tells a boy Tommy story of when the mine exploded.

The photo shows Staci, Angelina and me, dressed up in clothes like they would have worn,  and we pretended to be running across the bridge towards the mine.  This was my favourite part of the day,  the baby doll was very very strange as it had teeth.

My Spider Poem

Out of a tin we were allowed to choose a object,  I chose a black plastic spider.   We then had to type words to describe our object.    From these words we had to create a poem.   Here is mine.

Special Olympics and Constable Jos.

I am part of the West Coast Special Olympic team,  and take part in swimming, basketball and golf.

This is my friend Constable Jos,  who supports his son Alex and the team every week.   I was very proud to get my 1st place certificate last week from Constable Jos when we all competed in a West Coast swimming competition.   His job is to come to schools and teach us road safety in crossing roads,  on our bikes and keeping ourselves safe.

Today is Constable Jos day at our school,  as sadly Constable Jos is very sick.   We are all wanting to show him our much we care for him and his family.   Arohanui Constable Jos.
