Where has Term 4 gone???

We have not written on the blog for the last few weeks.....IT HAS BEEN BUSY!

We had our school athletic sports. Sam S, Sam B and Caleb A got through to the Interschools where they ran and threw and jumped  against other schools this week.  Sam S got 2nd in the baseball throw and Sam B got 4th in Long Jump.

We also had our school fair.  There was a train, candy floss.  We sold lots of stuff. There was a dunking machine and we dunked our principal Mr Gallagher.   It was lots of fun and we raised lots of money for the school pool.

Our school pool is ready and we have been swimming this week.  We just hope the weather stays fine.

We went to the recycling centre and saw the dump.  We learnt how to make compost so are trying different ways of making it at school.
We had lots of fun making our own paper.

We went on a bus to another school called Bluestone and saw the Science Roadshow. It had lots of fun activities for us to try and awesome demonstrations.

Labour Day in New Zealand

Labour Day is a day off for many New Zealanders have the day off on Labour Day, which is an annual public holiday on the 4th Monday of October. It commemorates the struggle for an 8-hour working day.

Labour Day is a public holiday so many workers in New Zealand take the time off to relax and enjoy their spare time. It is on a Monday, so some people make the most of the long weekend by going on short trips out of town.
