Our Colour Poems

Red!
Red is hot lava from a volcano
It is the red sea
Red is the sunset
It is a car
Red is the sunrise
But guess what?
Gold's the best.
by George

Red!
Red is the colour of fire
Red is the roses and a ring
But guess what?
Blue's the best.
by Ruby

Red!
Red is the colour of strawberries
It is the colour of a rose
Red is the colour of the fire
It is the colour of lava
Red is the colour of an apple
It is the colour of red icing
You know what?
Orange is best!
by Emma

Gold!
Gold is the colour of treasure and a trophy so sparkly
It is the colour of the stars
But guess what?
Blue is the best.
by Yasmina

Blue!
Blue is the colour of the sea
It is the sky
Blue is a starfish
It is the rain
But guess what?
Gold's the best.
By Pete

Gold os money
It is the sand in the sun
But guess what?
Silver's the best.

Cross Country Races

Yesterday it was the cross country race. At the start I was excited. I was zooming along. I came fourth. I felt proud of myself. I stayed and watched the big kids for a while. I got a sweet. After the race I was very, very tired. I got so puffed that I could hardly breath.

Trade-a-Thing Day

We have been learning about imports and exports and how New Zealand trades with other countries. We brought 2 or 3 small things to school to trade with other children in our syndicate. First we had a good look at all the things the other children had brought. Then we started trading. It was fun. Some children finished quickly and others traded their things more than once. We loved the toys we got.

Weaving

Renwick Two are learning to weave. We used different kinds of material and a paper plate. We did over, under, over, under. On the next row we did under, over, under, over. Here is some of our work.

Our Choir Concert

On Tuesday night, our big choir did a concert. Before the concert, the choir kids got hot chocolate and hot chips. It was awesome. Aria was singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star all by herself. She looked cute.

The Legend of Matariki

Once upon a time there lived seven fishes. One day the mother fish said to the seven fish,
"Stay by the rocks or something might happen".
Tataraimaka's net hit the water and all the seven fish got caught. The seven fish cried. Their tears were making the sea salty. Then Tataraimaka threw the net up into the sky and the seven fish turned into seven stars and now they are called Matariki.
Retold by Eva

Once upon a time there lived seven little fishes. Their mum told them not to go out to play because there was a giant. But they forgot that the giant was out there. So they got caught in the magic net that he had made. He turned the fish into stars.
Retold by Eden

Once upon a time there were some fish. The magic fish said,
"Stay by the rocks."
Then they forgot about their promise. They were playing tag and then the net came down on them. They were crying and the sea got all the salt from their tears. The God of Light was sorry for the fish. So he took the magic flax net away up to the sky and the seven fish turned into stars.
