our adoped country for the rugby world cup 2011

Rugby World Countries

The population of Tonga is 104,967 but in New Zealand there are 4.4 million and 138 thousand people play rugby in New Zealand and only 7 thousand people of Tonga play rugby. The capital city of Tonga is Nuku'alofa but it is on a island called TongaTapu island. But in America the capital is on the mainland. The neighbours in Tonga are both islands Samoa and Fiji,but in Ireland there is England Wales and Scotland as their neighbours, three big countries.

USA time zone is 20 hours behind New Zealand, so if it was the 20th in New Zealand it would be the 19th in USA. In USA the capital is Washington D.C and 601,000 people live in Washington D.C. In New Zealand the capital city is Wellington and 195,000 live in Wellington. New Zealand's other major cities are Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch but in USA the other major cities are New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. My neigbours are Canada and Mexico. New Zealand's neigbours are Australia. 88 thousand people play rugby in USA and in New Zealand 138 thousand people play rugby.

The population in South Africa is 50 000 000. In New Zealand
there is only 4.4 million. In South Africa 632,000 people play rugby, in New Zealand 138,000 play rugby. The time zone in South Africa is 27 hours behind New Zealand time, so if it is 10am on Wednesday in NZ it will be 7am Tuesday morning in South Africa.

Miss Inskeep who used to be a DP at our school brought Mrs Logan along. We all enjoyed her stories and hope she is able to come in again. We know she is looking for children to illustrate some of her stories.

THE MARAE VISIT

Response to the Marae Visit

On Thursday the 23rd of June Room 15 and Room 14 went to the Aorangi marae. At the marae we learnt a lot of new things. We took turns at looking at parts of the marae. Room 15 started inside the meeting house known as the wharenui. In the wharenui we looked at parts of the rafters and backbone. On the rafters there were kowhaiwhai patterns. Also on the backbone there were kowhaiwhai patterns that repeated its self. We had to do a sketch of the backbone and rafters.
After we finished we went out to the front gate/wahanui. Out at the front gate we had to draw and write all the names on the front gate into our topic book. The names were Te Rama, Meihana, Kapene and Aperahama. Tahuriwakanui Hapu was the tribe name tribe.
After we looked at the front gate we went to the dining hall known as the wharekai and said our karakia. Room 15 said theirs first then Room 14.
After we had our kai we went into the wharenui and said our mihi. A mihi is when you introduce yourself in Maori. We took turns at saying our mihi. Room 15 then Room 14.
After we finished we went back to Lytton Street School.

I learnt that there was another name for the meeting house/wharenui/whare tupuna - Andrew.

I learnt that the marae was like a person because the front gate was like the mouth and the meeting house was the body - Kiana

I learnt how to draw kowhaiwhai patterns - Grace

Young Leaders Day 2011

On the 24 of May 8 pupils (House Leaders) from Lytton Street School drove to Young Leaders day in Palmerston North at the Regent Theatre

Jack: My favourite speaker was Alison Mooney because it gave me more information about who I was eg. my personality type. She explained the story about a lion, otter, beaver and a golden Retriever. Then Alison gave us phrases, we chose the phrase that represented us the most. My animal was a bit of them all. Sometimes I want to be the lion and get everything done and sometimes I feel like studying so I am a beaver. I like to have fun with everything I do so that makes me a otter and I am a great listener like the golden retriever. I loved listening to all the speakers they had to offer. I really enjoyed going to Young Leaders. It was great



Kaea: My favorite speaker was Nick Tuitasi because he said a lot of good rules to help you in life. I think all of the other speakers were very helpful and gave a lot of advice of being a leader. I was a bit sad because 3 people were not able to come and they were John Key, Brook Fraser, and Jason Gunn. When we were playing games I got chosen to go on the stage and do a fitness contest that was called a beep test and I came third. It was lots of fun.



Riley: My favourite thing was when all the speakers said something about what they have been through in their life, for example Pat Buckley because he had so much disappointment in his young life, it was quite hard just listening to him. Also my favourite speaker was Dave Atkinson because he still taught us all of the stuff he was meant to but in a funny way and that drew me in.

Visualising in Reading

This term our reading focus is Visualising. Visualising is when you paint a picture in your mind of what you are reading to help with understanding the story.
We have been doing fun reading activities like the picture quilts from The BFG and the chapter - The Big Plan

After listening to the The Fly-away Umbrella we drew a picture of something that created a picture in our heads.

As a whole class we drew a story map from The Fly-away Umbrella using pictures and words. In our groups we then drew story maps of the current book we have been reading.

Graphs

Last term in room 10 at maths time we were learning about graphs and surveys.
To make this graph about room 10's favourite meat we used Keynote. We had a great time learning how to use it.

Book Fair 2011

This year in 2011 Lytton Street School had a Book Fair. At the Book Fair we sold almost $1,200 worth of books. Also at the Book Fair we had a competition on how many snakes were in the bowl and all up there were 427 snakes that were split between 2 boys.. Tw0 boys guessed the right number so they had to split the prize between them. To enter the competition you had to purchase a book.
