How to play Tapuwae
I enjoy playing Tapuwae. I will explain how to play it.

In Tapuwae the special places for Shooters, Centres, Defenders and Rovers. There are two lines in the middle and the centres stand in them; there are Defenders that stand at the side in a little circle and the defender is not allowed to step in side the circle or knock the cone over or the point goes to the other team; there are shooters that stand around the defender and try to hit the cone down and there are rovers that stand in the middle of the shooters and try to pass it to their centres.

Finally when a ball hits a cone down the team the team that hits the cone down gets a point. There is also a rule you are only aloud to clap.

Now you know how to play Tapuwae maybe next time your team will win!

My First Day In Year 4 The first day when I went to year 4 I was extra nervous because I didn’t know anyone in my class.

When it was lunch time I played with Isobel and Kate, we played on the playground. Then we played jump rope.

After that I went back to class and Mrs.Dale said we were going to play T’ball.It was hard to hit the ball far.

I had a great first day at school! media type="custom" key="8472764"

Japan Earthquake

During the afternoon on Friday 11th March,a huge Earthquake rocked the northern Islands of Japan.

It measeared 8.9 on the Richter scale.The earthquake set in motion of a tsnami wave which swaped cities and villages north of Tokyo,the capital city of Japan.

Not many of the houses got damaged because the Japenese are good at building Quake proof houses.

I hope they get lots of help to get their city back together.

Going To The Botanical Gardens

On Monday 21st March Year 4 went to the Botanical Gardens to look at native trees.

First we want to the identification trail and we learnt lots and lots of facts about native trees. When we were walking to the sign we saw a massive branch in the way so we hopped over it.

Later on we crossed the long bridge and we saw quacking ducks in the pond. After that we realized that we had to eat lunch.

After Lunch we went with Lockie to look at native trees. He showed us the life cycle of a Kowhai Tree. Then we did some tree Drama.

After that we went in the forest and we saw lots of Totara and one Kahkitea. We also held mirrors on our nose. It felt like falling from the sky.

Finally we went back to school. I have learnt a lot about native trees at the Botanical Gardens

Lost in Arataki Forest

The Golden Harp One Misty Day a 12 year old girl named Isobel went on a quest at Arataki Forest to look for a golden harp. She heard lots of Tuis singing and a river lapping gently.

While she was walking the leaves on the ground that Isobel was stepping on felt like massive bugs eating her stinky feet. But she couldn’t let the leaves stop her. She quickly ran to the talking frog that she saw and he said” I’ll lead you to the magical harp”. So the frog lead her to the magical harp. But on the way she saw a slimy slithering snake slithering round her and the frog leg, her heart was beating fast. Then the snake slithered not so far away and the frog jumped away so she decided to follow the snake. When she was following the snake she saw the magical harp and grabbed it.

When she got to the magical the magical harp was doing funny faces at her. She was laughing so hard she accidentally pulled the string and the moment she pulled the string she was giving the golden harp to her mother. Her mother was so proud she gave her a hug.
