Bike Track

Pheyton: Two men were digging the field.  They were on their diggers. I was watching a cartoon with diggers.

Sophia: There are diggers and the drivers are men.  They are going to put concrete on the path so we can ride our bikes on there.  I already have a bike. It's my brother's but he can't ride it so I've got it and he's got a little bike.

Zakaria: They cut a tree to get the diggers in.  They're digging up the grass. It's for riding your bike. I have a blue, shiny bike.  I ride with Aadil.

Pauline: Ms Mey took a photo of us at the field.  We were looking at the trucks and diggers.

Sonny: There's yellow stuff so nobody can go in.  The diggers are making a track.  It looks messy.

Luqman: I saw two diggers digging.  They were picking up the dirt and making little hills.  They will take the hills away and put it on the field to make it flat.  At the other side we saw a gate broken and a tree cut down.  There were some tall trees and shady trees.  They are going to get cement on top of the path so it will sink. It's pretty curvy like a zigzag.

Shyloh: There were diggers.  We saw another girl.  She had boots. It was fun.  We saw the dental clinic. I like the trucks.

Raagavi: I saw a white butterfly.  I was looking at it.  It was so pretty.  It was on the grass.

Leonzay: The diggers are orange.  There are two diggers.

Race Relations Day

It's always special when we celebrate Race Relations Day at May Road School.  Although we always show respect for others, Race Relations Day gives us an opportunity to see each other in our cultural clothing, talk about ourselves and ask each other lots and lots of questions.
We were so lucky that Room 11 helped us to use Explain Everything at the end of the day to share some things about ourselves.  Watch this space for more on that...

EOTC week

What a busy week it's been! While Kauri team have been at Camp and our lovely Samoan Bilingual classes have been rehearsing for Polyfest, we've had lots of fun doing activities outside our classroom, focusing on fitness. On Monday we did lots of tabloid sports. On Tuesday we had James from Roskill Rugby come and teach us how to play Ripper Rugby. We also had a visit from Constable Telisha and Constable Trev come and talk to us about their jobs. On Wednesday we had athletics and then the lovely Year 4 children at school taught us some new games. On Thursday we walked all the way up our special mountain, Puketapapa, and all the way back down! On Friday we went to Waikowhai Park and looked at rockpools, native trees, did lots of walks and had a play on the awesome playground. Phew!
