Maths Games

The homework maths games were fantastic. Thanks very much to all the parents who supported the pupils. On Thursday the whole Whanau got to play with the games.

They will also be a valuable addition to wet weather activities at break and lunch times.

Narrative poems 17 April

Have you ever smelled the amazing race
Sure you have
Remember that time
Running to the field to get the passports
and then look for the clues.
As you shot some hoops with a netball.
And when you found the first clue.
Remember that when you played bop it .
And then running to the beach.
That was the amazing race
By Jenna

Have you ever smelled the amazing race
Sure you have
Remember that time
When you go to different challenges
In different classes and as you were going
Writing the clues
Racing to the beach
That was the amazing race
by Zenith

Have you ever smelled the amazing race
Sure you have
Remember that time
Running up to the bop it lady
As you huffed and panted while you were running
And reading the clues
Remember those hints she gave you
And doing challenges on the way to the beach
That was the amazing race.

By Gaeleigh

 Have you ever smelled the amazing race              
 Sure you have
Remember that time
Looking for all those clues
As you ran on to the field to play the bop-it
Looking for the poster
Remember the time when you had to run to the bridge
To find the spot the difference
Then you walked to the beach
That was the amazing race.
By Sophie

Have you ever smelled the amazing race
Sure you have
Remember that time
When you had to build a lego helicopter
That was a lot of fun
As you run down Kane road
And you had to find an item under
The bridge
That was the amazing race.
by Rhyley

Ever smelled the amazing race
Sure you have
Remember that time
When you had to run to the field
To work out the bopit out
And build the helicopter
That was really cool
As you run down the alley way
And spotted the difference
Then we walked to the beach
And buried your team mate
That was the amazing race
By Jaydon

 Have you ever  smelled the amazing race            
Sure you have
Remember the time you ran to the field
To do the bop it
And then you ran to mr macracens shed
To find the mural
then you ran to Emery Place
To find the buddha and the duck
After that you ran to the reserve
To grab the spot the difference
Then you ran to the beach
where you buried one of your mates
That was the incredible race
by Sage

Have you ever smelled the amazing race
Sure you have
Remember that time
You had to run around the school solving questions
And you counted how many lollies were in the jar
And the beach challenge when you had to bury some
one to there neck
That was the great race
