M.A.F Special Visitor

Today we had a special M.A.F Visitor come in to teach us about M.A.F.  M.A.F is a Ministry that makes sure when you come to the airport it checks your bags to make sure you have no drugs, animals, wood products or anything that carries diseases.

Chunks

 In Room 30, during reading we made a huge long snake of words with chunks. There were 69 chunks. It took a very long time.

Birdman visit

When we first stepped into the hall we saw Mrs Naus in a hand glider it look like great fun. Next we got started, we met the BIRDMAN his real name was Patrick Manrow. He talked to us about century legend we wonder if they were true. Then we talked about people who tried inventions of flight. We also got to try flying some helicopters an we made gliders. It was fun we had races it was magnificent . We talked to Patrick about hot air balloons he also had a little hot air balloon that he filled with hot air rose to the roof like a lion chasing a deer. Then the cold air stared to fill and it stared to drop it dropped through the basket ball net and got stuck then it sunk. Then we said bye to Patrick and we all left the hall.

Mother's Day Art

On the first week of school room 30 made mother's day art for our mums. We were trying to copy the artist, Claudia Pond Eyley.

First we drew flowers in a vase. Then we colored them in with pastel. We enjoyed not having to color right to the edges. For the vase we used magazine bits to collage it. Finally we dyed our background.

Grace's Persuasive Writing

Point View School is the best school in New Zealand for so many reasons. We have an amazingly huge field, we’re the third biggest school in New Zealand and we’re going to have a hedge maize built.

Our field is so huge and spacious. It’s very fun to run around freely on. It’s very useful because many sports races can be held on our field. We can also kick balls around at lunchtime.

Secondly Point View is the 3rd biggest school in New Zealand and the bigger the better. We have 3 grounds for each syndicate so we eat in different areas.

Finally, on the 9-10th April there will be a fun working bee and lots of our helpful community will build a hedge maize just for us. It will take a few months to grow but we will still get to enjoy having fun on it for 2 years.

I hope I have proven to you Point View is the best school in New Zealand or even the world and I certainly hope you believe me!
