Soccer

By Kristian

The leaves crunched under my feet
As I marched onto the soggy wet field.
The arms of the trees broke the wind as it
Pounded against it.
The ref blew the whistle as the rain scattered
All over the ground.
The ball landed at my feet.
I stopped it, looked around me then “WACK”,
The ball flew like a comet.
It landed right in front of the striker.
He dribbled the ball up to the goal as the
Ball crushed the soggy wet grass then
“SCORE”.

Tomarata 4's Netball Win

Standing in there positions waiting for the whistle to blow and to be on our way to victory. That's exactly what Tomarata 4 was feeling as they were standing on the newly tarsealed courts on Saturday 25th of July. The year 6 and 7 team were versing Kiapara Flats. In the past this team had beaten tomarata, but they were ready to win! The whistle blew and the players ran into the centre third. At their practice on the Thursday before, their coach had talked to the team about running into the centre third as fast as they could at a centre pass off. The team had listened hard and used what they learned in the game. After a few wrestles with the ball and many great goals, Tomarata 4 walked out of the game with a great win. The score was very close, 24 - 21. Tomarata was happy with their victory.

Wonderful Wood

On Tuesday this week the year 7 & 8's of Tomarata school went to Technology. the year 7's had great fun in Wood with Mr Lovegrove. first we finished our signs from last week which was so much fun! Next Mr Lovegrove taught us how to use the saw we used to cut shapes. We all had great fun!!!!

The 40th anniversary of landing on the moon.

On 20Th of July 1969 Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin stepped foot on the moon.
The nation wide broadcast was made directly from the moon.
The men put an American flag on the moon for the first time ever!!.
They took some dirt samples of the dirt and headed for earth.
It took them three days to do that mission and successfully land.
They were rewarded with medals and the soil was transported to a scientific lab and they are still researching it right now.

At the movies

At the Matakana cinemas my Dad,Jamie and I went to see Ice age 3. We got some maltesers and three bottles of water. Ice age 3 started with that little squirel thing looking for it's nut. My favourite part of the movie was when this weasel called Buck stopped Manney and his friend from becoming dino food. It was funny when Buck used berries as bombs. After the movie when we got out it was pouring with rain and we ran to the car. It was a great day.

Our signs are up

Rodney District Council have erected our signs. Two are now in place on the corner of Whangaripo Valley Road and Wayby Valley Road and the other is on the corner of School Road and Mangawhai Road. We hope they will make a difference and that people will think twice before dropping their rubbish illegally. So far we notice that people are still dropping rubbish in black bags, well before the pick up days and there is still rubbish that could be recycled dropped as well. Keep an eye out for people that are ignoring our message. We want to look after our environment. Many thanks to Mrs Lomas who used the designs of Sam, Kristian and Eru to create our message and who worked with the class to paint them.

Art work

Over the term Mrs McCracken has been using her art skills to introduce us to a style of art work that is based on the works of a local Mangawhai artist. We followed a process of viewing the art, discussing the characteristics and then creating our own designs. We used paint and then outlined the designs with black vivids. Our work is now displayed in the corridor outside our room.

The Dare Trip

It was a bright sunny day on the 1st of July as rooms 1 and six piled out of the cars and entered the Leisure center in Whangaparoa. There was a whole lot of activities to enjoy, like basketball, javellon, darts, golf, beanbag relays, jumping mats, moonhoppers and many more. I loved the basketball because I liked shooting the hoops. I didn't like the moonhoppers much- cause I kept falling off, and landing on my butt. After lunch, we all jumped into the huge, heated pool. There were noodles, floaties, and diving boards, but I think everyones favourite was the slippery fun run obstacle course thingy. A BIG thank you to all those parents who helped transport, the leisure center, and of course Mr Watt.
I LOVED THE DARE TRIP!!!
