Ukulele

Yesterday we had a  concert in the library at 2:30. I was very  nervous for the last 8 weeks we have been having  ukulele lessons with Matua Paul. It has been fun doing it.

For 25 min every Friday in the library we have learned We Will Rock You, YMCA, and Don't Worry Be Happy. It was awesome and cool.  My mum was there to watch me and I was feeling nervous. 

The teachers played Superman - Five for Fighting, Let It Be, I'm Yours, The Show. 

Share

This term is about SHARE. Sharing stretches the boundaries for me, my friends, our school, our community, New Zealand, the Pacific and then the world. We shared our resources by donating money to help others in the VSA. We had a dress up day. We shared our money with others so others can take action by volunteering their skills in other countries. We dressed up in our favourite costume and brought a gold coin for project friendship to help our friends across the Pacific. We all donated generously on Red Nose Day and Daffodil Day we gave to help others to get well. I have  feel awesome about what we did.  

Top Team Challenge

Last week we had a Top Team Challenge. Heaps of people came to our school to challenge us it was exciting. There were nine challenges, some of them were egg and spoon race, hoop toss, caterpillar race, water activities and jig saw puzzle. The house of cards was fun because it did not defeat us, it got up to 1.75meters on the metre stick  Then we moved on to the next challenge, that challenge was not hard either, you had to find where the track was on a really big mat it was blue. We were versing the red team so we had to find the track. We finished first. 

My silent memories

I am here to tell you about my memory's of my years at Richmond school. I can't tell you how sad I am to leave but we must all move on. A couple of years ago we went on a trip to the sea on a can sail boat. One of our classmates lost her hat over board and sailed around looking for it but we never found it. Another memory was when we went to Living Springs for camp where it was nice and hot with blue skies. There was a huge hill that you could go down and at night we went in the pool it was in door pool which wasn't deep.

My best memory is the ride at the Antarctic Centre and in my picture I'm the one screaming, "HELP ME!' The ride made my stomach go up and down. Hannah and Jakita got off the ride because they were scared.

Then we took a photo of the class and then we got gathered together and went back to school.
I will miss Richmond School and all my friends here.

Richmond School Gala

Richmond Celebration Gala 

On Friday 8 November Richmond School held their Gala Celebrations. We were celebrating and thanking our community for all their support over the years. On the night the gala people were giving out flowers that we had made earlier in the day. They were colourful and very realistic. The Bouncy Castle was really high it was over one and a quarter stories high. There was lots of cotton candy floss and we all got to have a turn giving out cotton candy floss. Then after that I went on the jeeps. I was trying to chase Matthew but he was too fast. Then I went on the the roller blades because cheapskates came as well.

Then I had one more turn on the bouncy castle then it was time to go home. I got a bag of of popcorn and Dad and I went home.

Flick it on

Hi, this term we have all returned to school feeling happy and even though I felt a bit tired I was ready to start the term. We have been doing a " Flick it on Challenge" which is a silent movie. There were rules that we had to follow we had to show the time of the movie as 3:15 time and a magic trick and a Rubrik's Cube had to be in the movie. We went to Ferrymead, Willow Bank, our ICT room and Rooms 1 and 2 to film.

The four scenes were Early European, then European, then present and then the future scene. We chose the theme to go in the background. When we have finished we will send our movie to the north island and they will put sound in the movie and they'll send their movie to us and we will put sound in theirs. They will send ours back and we will send there's back and we will listen to it.  

I can't wait to see it.
