PAL Leaders

In the beginning of Term 1 there were some year 5's that got presented with a PAL certificate. To get the certificate we needed to go to PAL training at Pettigrew Green Arena in Taradale. We spent the day there learning different games that we could bring back to school and teach the other kids. A couple of weeks after we got back we were presented the PAL certificates to say we had completed the programme. Now we are officially PAL'S! PAL means Physical Activity Leader. 3 people in my class are PAL'S; Me,Samantha and Shona. As a PAL leader it is our job to orginise a game with our buddy for the juniors every second week. Some of the games could be Dog and Bone, Duck duck goose, Grandmas key, Tanks, stuck in the mud and many more exciting games!

We are Geniuses about the Nokia 3330 Phone

Nokia phones were invented a VERY long time ago. Nokia 3330s were released in stores in the year 2000, which was 14 years ago. They are more updated than the Nokia 3310's. They can stand up and dance. My one can't dance very well, though. Nokia 100's can only stand up if they are upside down. The Nokia 3330's are twice the width of regular phones. The Nokia 3330 has 17 buttons but the Nokia 100 has 20 buttons. The extra buttons on the nokia100 are the call button, the end button, left and right, and the back button. The Nokia 3330 is one of the most indestructible phones in the world. As they can withstand a sledge hammer but not a blender. Most Nokia phones lie about the battery life. But the Nokia 3330 never lies about the battery life, at least my one. The Nokia can last for, on standby, a whole week!

Tuning in for a GREAT term!

On the first day of Term 2 I walked in to see that Miss BT had changed all the desks around. There was glitter on the floor, but the thing that stood out the most was a big poster on the wall saying 'TUNING IN FOR A GREAT TERM!' and there was an MP3 player on the poster saying all of our names. We talked about the reason the poster said 'tuning in for a great term' and came to the conclusion that it meant our 2 week holiday was over and it was time for us to get back on track with our learning.





Saturday Rugby

On Saturday the 2nd of May the H.R.S T-Rex's  played against the H.R.S Spartians.

Before the game we had to do some warm up drills and a team run. We had a hudle before kick off.

HOOOONK! We kicked to the other team and we chaced and we tackled. Jayden played 2nd 5 and wing,Karlin played half back and Brock played number 8.

Then Troyden runs through the middle steps and scores. Coby kicks for goal and gets the conversion.

In the second half we are leading 55 nil. They kicked to us and we ran it up then we heard someone screaming at the bottom of the ruck. It was big D from our team.We got him off the field and we called the ambulance because he was in so much pain.The nurse checked it and he sprained his ankle.

After that we carried on with the game and it was final play.We had a scrum and the back line called hands.We passed the ball out to Jayden and he ran down the sideline and scored.Jayden got last try of the game.

We won the game and the score was 75 to 5.We wished big D good luck and Brock gave the team a lolly pop each and we said goodbye.

Mahora One Dance Group


In Term one there was a group of girls that chose to do dance with Mrs Gempton. We started in week 4, which means we have been learning our dance for 9 weeks. On the 23rd of May we will perform our dance at Hasting Intermediate in front of all of the other Hastings schools that have entered.

There are 8 girls in my group, we call ourselves Mahora One. We are doing our dance to 'come and get it' by Selena Gomez. We have some really cool dance moves and really nice girls in our group.
