My highlight of the term.

My highlight of the term is working on my net books. We have this new system in our class and its called net books. We are paying our net books off every month. We so love our net books and it has been a great experience working with our net books. We hope they last long and never breaks down. We all thought that this was going to be a great idea. We needed a little help at first but then our lovely principal worked it out. So yeah that’s our way of getting our net books.

A karakia for the people of Christchurch

Dear Lord,

I want to pray from the bottom of my heart, for the family of the five month old baby who passed away.I also pray for and for the people who are still trapped in the rubble and for the 175 people who had died in the churches that had collapsed.

I ask you god, to please help the family of the five month baby to stop crying and to get lots of love and comfort from other people in Christchurch. To give strength to the families that have lost their love ones to help the trapped people to be safely rescued from the collapsed building.

I lift my prayer up to you lord because I believe you can help them and make it come true from the bottom of my heart. Amen

The Catastrophic Earthquake

On Tuesday the 22nd of February in the afternoon, a 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch and caused a catastrophic devastation at 12.51 PM.

Buildings collapse:

With great devastation, buildings were collapsing on some people in Christchurch. When I heard there was an earthquake in Christchurch, what came straight to my mind was people getting hurt from the buildings collapsing.

Homeless:

I wish earthquakes were never invented, because it hurts people and it ruins their homes, then they become homeless. Homeless means when they don’t have a home, food and clothes and sometimes water. I hope they find are home to live in with their families. Not cars and the street, I mean a home.

Rescue mission:

The rescue mission has some supplies to help the people who are badly damaged. They are here to help people get out of collapsed buildings and to help them find a home. The navy is also here to help Christchurch.

Conclusion:

I believe in Christchurch to make it through these earthquakes and through aftershocks. I hope that stop crying and get lots of strengh from other helpers.

Rooms 22's favourite food...

Ms Tito said that she was going to cook us lunch if we figured out the investigation. The investigation was to find what the whole class liked. We did a survey on our class liked. It was very hard but at the end we figured it out. The whole class like nachos. The least votes were curry kumara. I just can't believe that the most of the class likes mussels.

We are learning about statistics, statistics means finding things out. These are some of the keywords that are more related to statistics, Analyse, interpret and presenting. Our class did a survey on what our favourite sport, food and favourite teacher we liked. I investigated on what was the most popular sport. Most of the class voted that Rugby was the most voted. The least voted was basket ball and soccer.

Welcome back

Finally, it was school time. I had been waiting for this day to come, it was the 7th of February and that’s how I knew that there was school.

Most of the class was excited to be back after a long holiday. We were standing patiently next to the door just waiting to see our new classes. My friends and I were so happy that we couldn't keep still.

I was quite surprised I was in Ms Tito class. Once I got into the classroom I was really impressed that they had finished them in time. some of us noticed that the classrooms were square not rectangle.

I hope I have a great year with my new class and teacher.
