We Are Honored To Be Your Students, Dancing Sensei

If you are reading this Jess, we of Room 12 would like to thank you for going out of your way to teach us hip hop moves for 6 weeks. They have been an amazing time.

In the past few weeks, we have developed confidence, style and last of all, had fun! This has been fantastic for us because we were able to create our own dancing routines and we will continue with this. We all hope we will meet you again in the future.

With great honor,
Henry.

I Greet You To The Road!

Now, We know that children can be....... Repetitive,

but.... Oh if you try to make them collide with speeding cars, it would end in, the child's parents crying, your relatives start accusing the driver for speeding an- well, you get the point.

So, you're going to have to be cautious when approaching the road who we all know, right?

If you think this 11 year old kid is just making this blog for some pointless reason about road safety, you're wrong.

If you don't believe me then, read this.

On average, every week in New Zealand, precisely 20 pedestrians (around 1,000 annually) are injured badly enough to require  hospitalization, and there are at least one (65 constantly) deaths per week.

If a parent is reading this blog, please don't take away your childrens' outside privileges, the reason why, is because they might beg the heck out of you that you will just have to give into their ways!

There are ways you could protect your children, without being there for them. You could teach your child/sibling or even a close friend of yours to teach them the road safety rules.

So, go out and stand on the road (not literally)  and teach those speeding drivers a lesson by reporting their license plate number at the right time, especially around your school!

Hello Fellow Internet User, Welcome To Term 2!

Even though I wanted to savour the continuity of my two weeks off, sadly it was the 30th of April so I just had to pulled myself together for School!

As I traveled to School I visualized the possibilities that could occur throughout our learning experience, all of the activities in class, with my friends I burst in enjoying countless minutes during recess, alternative lessons through the process of class and the outburst of laughter whenever Mrs Golder or Mr Reid make pointless mistakes. I shouldn't imagine that huge, should I?

As I entered through the School entrance, I saw the office, my fellow senior classmates interacting with their companions  while impatiently waiting for the doors to open. Meanwhile the junior students were acting as just straight out fools.


"It's good to be back." I quietly whispered to myself.

Commonwealth Games: Hockey

Today was a quiet day for New Zealand in the Gold Coast.

The netball woman were sadly at a loss. It was their first time they lost to Malawi.  On the bright side, they can still qualify for the semi-finals on points differential, even with a loss to England this morning.

After their worthless and dreadful run, they need a big result to enhance their medal hopes.

Teamwork In A Sprint Trio!

In the Commonwealth Games (Day 1) there was a sprint trio and as New Zealand relied on each other they won the sprint trio with the other team named Team Ethic which might have overestimated their past success.

As other people named, Eddie Dawkins, Sam Webster and Ethan Mitchell, they were all disappointed with coming sixth from the past last month's world championship in the Netherlands with a well judged victory over another participant country,  England at the Anna Meares Velodrome in  Brisbane.

The trio defended their title they won four years ago in Glasgow and was also victorious which also made them win New Zealand's first ever gold medal in the  Gold Coast Games.

Their winning time was 42.877 seconds was nearly half a second quicker than England, and only a miniature amount  slower than the Games record 42.822 they made when qualifying for the Commonwealth Games.

Dawkins, who carried the Kiwis home, said the victory had been specifically satisfying after their disappointing showing at the world championships.

Welcome To The Rivertalk

Yesterday at The Rivertalk near Tamaki College there were many people who have explained why we should save the river and to prevent any more pollution caused by rubbish that doesn't belong to the sea and the sea creatures.

Two more schools joined and experienced the same amazing  presentations that have been created.  The two schools were St Heliers and Pt England. As we watched the performers  who expressed their culture we knew the story and the significance of the river. It is important that we don't ignore the pollution around out country and worldwide.
