Fairy Tale Animations
Room 15 have been working extremely hard on creating some realsitic animations retelling our favourite fairy tales. We have been looking at trying to convey much of the plot through the dialogue between characters. Here are the first two finished animations which were shown on P.E.N.N. (our school T.V show) today.

Week 7's Duffy Winner/Post of the Week
Our Duffy Winner of the week was Toreka for her fantastic recount of the Cross Country race.
Because it was such a great recount it is also our post of the week. If you want to read more of Toreka's wonderful writing click on her name and it will take you to her blog.
All of a sudden the clappers sounded and there were flailing arms and legs everywhere. Everyone was jostling for position, wanting to win first place. “Bajeebas, they’re fast!” I whispered to myself. I felt like my legs had turned into jelly, so wobbly.
“Come on Reka! You can do it!” said a voice in my mind. “Doesn’t matter where you come just be proud of yourself.” I had no idea who that was but it sure encouraged me.
As I passed a corner, and then another my muscles ached and mud was squelching under my feet. “You’re really close, don’t give up now,” I murmured to myself. As I gasped for breath I kept asking myself, “Am I able to continue?” My arms felt tired out, my eyes felt like they were burning.
Before long I spotted the finish line and powered ahead wanting to complete the race. I panted and wheezed as I crossed the finish line. It felt like I couldn’t breathe or feel my legs. Coming 6th didn’t matter to me. My task for this year’s cross country was to be able to complete the race no matter where I came - to be proud of the fact that I had finished it with perseverance.

The Ultimate Race
Jittery and jumpy, I lined up with all the other competitors. Shivers slithered down my spine. I hopped up and down full of nervous excitement. Quickly I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. “You can do this,” I whispered in my mind.All of a sudden the clappers sounded and there were flailing arms and legs everywhere.

Flower Poem
Flowers standing tall like soldiers guarding a castle.
Burgandy and orange tulips, like plums on a tree.

Korero of Week 6
Last week in assembly we got a Korero to remember. The Korero was "KEEP IT REALLY REAL".
We had that korero because lots of people had been keeping really real, here are some people that have been keeping it really real and why they have...
1. Tonja is one of the first person because in the cross country she ran by herself because the other times in cross country she ran with a teacher.
2. Brendan is one of the second people because he wanted to go to the Cross Country but he had go to the hospital and so what he did was he ran up and down the hospital just to participate in the Cross Country.
3. Leoden was one of the third person because he never stopped in the cross country and kept on running to the end so he was one that kept it very strong.
4. Ngaina was one fourth because she had done a very good job in Cross Country because she had a very positive attitude after she had finished the race.
5. Last but not the least was Ashley because she had been training really hard for Cross Country and because she had ran after school to places.
6. And last was Dillion.
So have you been keeping it really real?

The cute dog stands and barks at the
beautiful clear blue sky,
feeling the warmness on his fur.
