The Blues were fun to meet.

Ball passing was a skill we trained in.

Bluebeard Day-Training with the Blues.

We were sitting and waiting patiently for the winning Blues Rugby team to call us up for training drills. The captain Ali Williams talked to us about what we were going to do. Hurray! At last we were in teams and playing fun games. We played cat and mouse, rippa tag and lots of passing skills relays. We ran, we walked, we passed the ball, we lined up quietly, we kicked and we listened very carefully.
Finally our day at Toll Stadium ended. It was time to go back to school. But the fun hadn't quite finished. Back at school we each got a  bag of treats from the Blues. There were lolly snakes, a cool poster and a special glowing Blues flag magnet. Ms Gentil had a great idea for us. Because it was so hot we were all allowed to cool off with a swim in the pool.

Room 1 have an activity called Whanau Time on a Thursday.This is when we look after the school gardens.This Thursday we pulled out the awful , useless weeds called kaikuia because they choke the plants.We were all working together.Some people were using forks to pull out the kaikuia.We used little forks and big forks. The forks and tools come from the garden shed.We had to line up while Ms Higgins showed us how to be safe with the tools.When we had finished we had a wheelbarrow full of kaikuia and other horrible weeds.By Room 1 stars-Tearoha,Sebastian,Shakyla,Tupu,Hannah,Aaron,Tuan.

What Whanau Time is about.

Whanau  Time is when we go outside and experience different things in the garden like planting plants and mulching.We like Whanau Time because: Its a great experience for kids.It is also good because we learn outside the classroom. It's fun and considerate. It helps grow your mind more.
