New Zealand Teachers Go on Strike!!

New Zealand teachers are going on strike tomorrow. Not only primary teachers, but secondary teachers too. This is the biggest strike the teachers in New Zealand have ever had.

Teachers are going on strike for money, but besides that they are worried that in ten years time teachers will retire and there will not be enough teachers. I think this is important because without teachers there will be no one to teach the children about education.

I hope there will be more teachers in the future to support students' education.

Football

On Wednesday some of the year 7 and 8 girls, 5 and 6  boys were chosen to compete at  Point England reserve for the soccer inter schools tournament. Before we arrived at our destination, my emotions were going wild, but I was nervous and excited at the same time.

As soon as we arrived the boys immediately started there first game. Being on the sideline the girls were cheering for them. The year 7 and 8 girls had a draw in 3 games and lost 2 other games. When we were on our last game my feet and my legs felt painful so I couldn't walk properly.

It was a great opportunity for me to participate in the soccer game.  

Kiwi Can

On Tuesday we had the opportunity to experience how kids can help us make the right decisions while playing games and to build a trustworthy friendship.

We had a couple of rules to go over before we could start the session. The rules were to respect others, don't be shy and give it try, and best of all have fun. The activities we played were bang, change spots and GKQ - general knowledge questions

For our lesson we had to discuss what integrity was. Our topic was to be honest while you're playing games with other students.

integrity - the quality of being honest

Special Guest!!

On Thursday Sam Verlinden  came to our school to talk about how he became a singer. He explained to us that if we read books we would be able to create new ideas and become anything we dreamed.

First we played a clapping game. Through break 1 to 4 he formed beats  that  we had to follow.  After the game he presented a video of his singing. Everyone was shocked at how amazing it was. I enjoyed listening to his story and song.
