Goodbye

We said goodbye to our classrooms today.  There have been a lot of great memories in these rooms, and the really good thing is that we are going to make even better memories in our new class.

We have had another busy day.  Do you recognise these things?

Japans earthquake.

This is a picture of Japan.

I have been watching the terrible things that are happening in Japan.  I hope you have not been seeing too many of the pictures as it has been very different from what happened here. It is a long way from us here in New Zealand. As a Globalist Freeville Flyer I feel so sad for the Japanese people and the tragedy after their earthquake and tsnamui.

A Poem

We like reading poetry in Room 6.  Each day we read different poems.  Our favourite is Fobba Wobba John and the Ning Nang Nong.  I saw a another interesting poem in the paper today.  It meant to me what it is like being a person who has lived in Christchurch for most of my life.  The prior knowledge I had is what we all now have.  I made a really good connection to it.

No Defeat

Roses are red, the Chalice is blue,
the cathedral has fallen, many buildings have too.
You can rattle our bones, you can rip streets apart
but you will never defeat our Red and Black hearts.
For we are Cantabrians and together we know,
We stand tall together, through anything we regrow

By Kiely Wallace, Brisbance

Another busy day at school.  Lots of changes and lots and lots of boxes. Some of our things are in funny places.

Our new class room.  It needs a bit of tidying up.
