smoke room

Last week, Tokomaru School walked to the Tokomaru fire station for a visit.
While we were at the fire station the fire men and woman told us how to be fire wise. they told us how to get down, get low, get out and stay out and we got to practice that in the smoke room.
The smoke room is a room full of peanut oil smoke that comes out of a special smoke machine and you have to practice getting down getting low getting out and staying out. I went in with Jayde, Moio, Lauren, Cheymani and Jono. We got a lolly pop and juice when we got out and when we got out the second time we got the same but we also got a fire wise activity book.
They also told us about how candles are sort of dangerous and where and where not to put them.
We had a photo by the fire truck and after we got certificates and we walked back to school.
I hope you enjoy this video!

touch rugby!

on Friday the 1st of April (April fools) some students from Tokomaru school went to a school touch tournament.

before i even got to play my first game i slipped and almost broke my leg so i was out for a wile witch really upset me.

the games that the year 5 - 6 were playing was 1-0 against Linton camp so we lost, 2-1 against tuatea so we WON! and 1-1 against opiki so we tied.

i had such a fun time at the game even though i had a bad leg and i hope i can do it again next year even though i am not really a sporty girl.

Spot me on the Bike!

last week we had our school triathlon. it was very trying but very fun. i like this clip because it is in slow mo and i like the song. i hope you enjoy!

2nd quake

once again Christchurch has had a big earth quake and even though this one was 6.3 and the first one was 7.2 this one has done more damage and has killed.
my brothers flat is in Christchurch and it is condemned so bad that he may not get his stuff back. (he is fine)
i hope That this is the last quake for Christchurch.
three men were removing the pipe organ and then the quake hit then the church just collapsed and they died...
this is one of NZ's darkest day...

my first few weeks back to school!

on my first day back to school I saw all my friends, people I know and new faces.
It was sad to see that some people have left to go of to high school.
the thing our whole school is studying is picture books it might seem babyish but we are reading big kid picture books. my favorite book so far is looking like me.
the first term of the year always has swimming, bikes, scooters and lots of things with wheels ( I bring my scooter)
When we go over to Room 1 we do art and study. we have been studying a remarkable new Zealand person and i chose Stan Walker because i found a lot of info about him.
and my favorite... ART! we have done two posters one about our self ( mine is fabulous!) and one about our dream land and mine is called " Grayce Pooh's jungle ville" and it is AWESOME!
