Kiwi Can

Kiwi Can

Yesterday (25 - 11 - 16) we had our sixth session with kiwi can for term 4. We had a new topic but our theme was the same as always. Our theme was Respect. Our new topic was respect for our environment. We didn’t have an energizer because we had a talk but indeed we had our activity. Our activity was Telesia'a game. It was called Krikby. It was like softball but we kicked the rugby ball as far as we could and run around the bases. It was a very fun game. At the end of the kiwi can session we did “Thank you room 8 for coming to kiwi can, thank you kiwi can 123, 123 KC Shooooo!!!!. Also our catch phrase was “Kiwi Can says, respect this place, treat it like your own, at the end of the day, it's where we call home”.

Rest In Peace Mr. Dudley

Late Mr Dudley was a volunteer from the St Andrew's rest home. He came to our school for a few years as a helper for our breakfast club which operates every morning during school days. He worked on Thursday helping prepare and serve breakfast to the students of Glenbrae that didn’t have breakfast.

His beautiful smile and kind words always made our day and we will miss him a lot.

May the Lord Almighty rest his soul in peace.

Ka kite, ano Mr Dudley.

Way back... in the olden days, war was held with lots of people dieing. Lots of brave young men's joined up in the army. They faked their age just to save their country. Also this event took place at the end of the world war in waihi. One of the miners who was known as Don, was killed when the war ended.

Summary ( War In Waihī )

Summary ( War In Waihī ) Author: Mark Derby

This article is about a war that happened in the olden days. Now we use machines to dig for gold and gems. In 1912, miners used pick-axes, shovels and dynamite to mine. They had to work 6 days a week non stop. While they worked in the mines, they suffered from a disease that was know as Miner's Cough. there was a disease. They could die from that miners cough.

People in the olden days worked very hard in the mines but were paid very less. Those people who work very less in the mines got highly paid and it was not fair.

On the Trail of a taniwha

Summary By: Rob Tipa

What I learned from this article was that A school had a  trip to go to a cave. But in that cave was a drawing. It was there since 1870. Long time. It was a Taniwha. Not a real one, a drawn one. I just want to know if Taniwha still exist. But just to remind you Taniwha lives in water.

Keep Your Cat Inside

Keep your Cats Inside 

What I learned from this article was that cats need to be kept away from other birds . If cats are left outside they can kill all the birds they can find. They are very hungry. Cats can also kill native birds, and different kinds of animals. Cats ate 3 rabbits, 267 birds, 183 skinks, 314 mice, 8 geckos, 1 stoat 67 rats and 64 insects. I think it adds up to 907. That's a lot!.

                       

That is why we need to keep your cats inside. They can be cute but not weak.
