Warkworth Police Court By Madison and Nicholas.
Room 4 went to the Warkworth Court.
We had a mock trial called "Animal Court."
Mr Hare - Ryan was the complainant
Mr Fox - Nicholas was the prosecution lawyer
Ms Tortoise - Janice was the defendant
Ms Fleece - Rhianna was the defence lawyer
Court registrar - Emma
Judge Hooter - Lewis
Mr Stoat - Chloe, a witness
Mr Brown - Luka, a farmer witness
Head Juror- Blu
Jury - Rachel, Kaylee, Madison, Storm, Brandon,
Nathan, Lisa, Callum, Jasmine,Cameron.
Mr Hare was charging Mrs Tortoise with causing him to be poisoned when he ate the carrot, then he to sleep and Ms Tortoise won the race.
The evidence was heard from Mr Hare and Ms Tortoise. Then two witnesses were called, the stoat was doing a lot of lying and then Mr Brown the farmer admitted he had layed poison to stop Hare from eating his carrots.
Judge Hooter asked the jury to discuss the evidence. The head juror reported that 10 jury members thought Ms Tortoise was not guilty of poisoning Mr Hare and one jury member thought that Ms Tortoise was guilty or poisoning Mr Hare. So the juries verdict was not guilty!
Ms Tortoise was very thankful not to be thrown into the Warkworth Police jail!
Bible Show By Kaylee
It was the last day of Bible today and the Bible teachers set up a little screen and told the story of Mary and Joseph and there baby Jesus. They started by picking random people. The screen was the barn and baby Jesus in the feed bin.
It turned into a lovely play for everybody. And they had really good costumes.
The people in the play did well with their parts in the play. My favorite part was the Shepard's and the angels were cool too. it was a awesome, I think everybody liked it as much as I did.

Still life painting with Mrs Lomas - By Chloe
First we looked at the fruit and we copied it onto a piece of paper.Then we did a colour wheel with red, yellow and blue and then we had to mix the colours together that we needed like purple for the capsicum, dark green for the avocardo. I liked how the colours changed into pretty colours for the fruit. I liked the fruit because it had beautiful colours and it was the fruit I liked to eat just not the capscium. The pictures turned out really good, my picture is so good you could frame it. Our art teacher Mrs Lomas teaches us very well how to do things with art. She has done a lot of art with us. The art she does with us is cool.

Life Education Space Invaders By Rhianna
We have been going to the life education in the past week.
Our topic was space invaders.
The first time we went Harold , a giraffe puppet
had seen an alien.
He plugged in his telescope into the TV and guess what? We saw a alien .
The brain told us about food and how it is made. He also told us where food comes from like processed food, food that comes from animals and from plants.
The next time we went on a adventure in to someones body and discovered what it is like to be a piece of food.
The second time we visited the Life Education bus Harold talked about living healthy and how we digest our food. We saw a doll called Tam that had no skin on!! so you could see where the food went, it was yucky!
I had lots of fun.

On Saturday I woke up early ready to play rugby – I love rugby!
I grabbed my rugby boots, socks, mouth guard and tape. All the gear I need for rugby. I eat breakfast. I eat Weetbix because I’m a Kiwi kid, I’m just like an All Black.
I get dressed, take my rugby boots and all my other gear.
Ready to go outside, oh! It’s pouring down with heavy rain! We grab the wet weather gear and dash to the car. We’ve arrived and it was still pouring down. We got changed and it’s time to warm up. It’s cold, Brrr, but we run around the paddock, we do our stretches, it’s still raining, but I don’t mind. The stretches were so painful,
We kept on scoring and scoring tries– it was great!
At the end of the game the score was 50 to 0, we had thrashed them!!!

When we got there I sat on the cold concrete seats and waited for my turn. Man, I was feeling scared!!! Finally it was my turn. I got up and lepted into the pool. Burr the water was cold!! We are going to do backstroke. I zoomed along the pool, Right arm, left arm, make big circles and pull hard. Suddenly I touched the wall, Wow, I was shocked. Guess what? I had come 1st!

Water Quality Tests by Rhianna
Yesterday we went to Tomarata Lake on a school trip with class's room4,5 and 6.
When we got there we wated for Rachel Griffth's who is the Wai Care teacher, she showed us how to do the water quality tests yesterday at school.
When she got there we did the tests first like the pH test when you put a dip stick in the lake water to check the ph and alkaline. The ph was 0 in both lakes.Then we did a water clarity test with a big long tube that you look down and you run a magnet down the side and it moves the magnet inside the tube to see how far you can look into the water in the tube, then you can measure how far you can look. Tomarata Lake was clearer than Spectacle Lake.
For the macro invertebrate test Rachel scooped up water and sediment then she put it all in some white trays for us to identify the bugs, Tomarata Lake had more macro invertebrates. When we tested for nitrate and nitrite with a dip stick and both Lakes were good.We tested the temperatures with a thermometer, Tomarata Lake was 15 C and Spectacle Lake was 16C, and checked the dissolved oxygen both lakes got a 9 out of 10 so that was good , and we identified trees.
Then we walked to Spectical Lake and did the same tests again.
and a talk by Craig.
We learned lots and lots of expirements
I liked the water clarity test and the pH test.
So a big thank you to RACHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Alice in Wonderland the mad hatter has a tea party. The people in the play are Hugo P as the doormouse, the Hugo C as the mad hatter and Michaela M as Alice and James S is the rabbit.
They were sitting at a large table, But they were all squashed up.The mad hatter said"All move one on".So they did.Alice thought this was very strange.

Sneeze safe
On Thursday the sneeze safe drama club came to see us.
They told us the four steps to keeping sneeze safe and they were TRAP IT,BIN IT,WASH IT and DON'T EAT IT!!
They told us to look out for a big blue germ.
And we found it and stopped him for once and for all by doing the four steps.
They were spraying us with water in little spray bottles because it was what happens when you sneeze.It was so cool.
It was a awesome day and now we all know how to be sneeze safe by sneezing into our hands or our elbow, then wash our hands.

Auckland Museum General
We went for a walk around Auckland Museum
it was fun. We saw awhole plane inside the museum, it was a war plane called a Zero.
Inside the museum they have an aquarium that has four crabs, one enormous crayfish and a little fish.
Then we saw a volcano movie about an eruption happening in Auckland, it was fun when the whole room shook like we were in a real earthquake - some girls screamed. But it was not real.
I saw the bones of a moa and it was so big, I did not know they were that big.
There was so much to see in the museum and I want to go back.

Auckland Museum Maori Gallery
We went to the maori gallery
at the museum it was awesome! We saw lots and lots of Maori carving there. We saw a Maori canoe flying in mid air that could seat 100 people!.There was heaps of Maori knives and all kinds of other stuff that I can also say OMG too.
There was a Maori marae, it is so big that you can even go inside it but you have to take off your shoes. It is funny going inside a house when you are inside a big building.
I want to go again with my family because it was so awesome and you can't see it all in one day.
