Pineapple and a green and red candle that would have,

Yourself". They should never give a rugby ball to just anyone,
In the town.

Yay!!! We're finally going home!!!
I've REALLY missed Rosie, Fifi, Mummy and Phie! And now we've loaded on to the buses and we're heading home!
I can't WAIT to get home! Then I can see Rosie, and Fifi, and Mummy, and Phie, and Halloween's tonight! Luckily me and Phie have already sorted our Halloween costumes, so we don't have to fuss about anything! Of course we'll have to get our handing out lollies ready as well! Oh I'm just SO excited!!! WE"RE GOING HOME!!! WE"RE GOING HOME!!! WE"RE GOIng...home? What was that? And why have we stopped? And what's that green stuff seeping out on to the road?
Wait. Is this what I think it is? Have we...h-have we... broke... down?
No! Surely not! We can't have broke down! We can't have! We just can't ha- "Everybody! Out of the bus! I've got some bad news." Mrs Stewart sounded alarmed- like she REALLY had some bad news. It didn't sound good, and I bet I knew what it was.
"I'm afraid that we might be a little late home.
The pipe with the brake liquid, or coolant has burst, which means we could be here for a while. But you don't have to perish in here, you can go outside and get some fresh air."
So we all stampeded outside to get the best spot in the slightly prickly, but cool grass.
Because we weren't allowed to go on either side of the bus we all had to huddle up in a busy little bunch. Some of us stayed on the bus (it was starting to get quite loud outside).
After a while we all started to get bored, thirsty and hungry. Luckily Cassie and some boys brought some cards along, and some of us still had left over lunch from Monday, so we shared that around.
But the guy who had EVERYTHING was Dalton! (A.K.A Macgyver)
He litrally had EVERYTHING!!! He had hand sanitizer, big bags of chips, sunblock, band aids, insect repellent, water bottles, you name it! He had it!
An hour passed, we were still waiting! We had been here for an hour and a half! I was starting to get scared.
What if we get stuck here over night?
What if nobody comes to help us?
What if we miss Halloween?
What if Daddy has no idea where I am?
What if Rosie misses me?
I started to cry.
Another 30 minutes passed.
Now I was getting really scared. Still no sign of any other buses coming to get us!
What if we don't get home in time?
What if something happens to us?
What if we-what is that? Is that what I think it is? Is it...is it... is it a...is it a bus?
YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! IT'S A BUS!!! IT'S A BUS!!! IT'S A BUS!!! THE BUS HAS COME TO SAVE US!!!
Finally!!! Now we can get home!!! 2 long, boring, hot hours on the side of the road and now we get to go home!!!
We all boarded the second bus, JUMPING with joy!!!
We had all just had an AMAZING adventure! And we all had LOTS of stories to tell!
The bus started to move. YES!!! Wait. WHERE'S MY PENCILCASE?!?!

Tick, tock, tick, tock. Time passes. Dehydrated commotion lurks about in the motionless, dead transportation. Bodies lazily lie on the prickly bushes. People struggle to find shade. A lemon gas ball sends 25 degrees of blistering heat to the side of the road. Whatever food is left is savored. The heat is getting to everyone.
Tick, tock, tick, tock. Time passes. Fresh grass wafts up sniffing noses. Cars whiz past, up the dusty road. Dirt flicks mirages away, dancing daintily on two feet. Minds are lifeless, yearning for food and water. Grass sways to the lonely music.
Tick, tock, tick, tock. Time passes. Sombre faces peak out cautiously from shade. Watches are looked at, one by one. 2:00, 3:00, 4:00. Exhaustion fills whatever breeze is hanging.
Tick, tock, tick, tock. Time is as slow as the creamy clouds drifting dreamily in the summer sunshine. Whispering Voices climb to the sapphire sky. Liquid gushes out of a broken pipe. Motors off, cooling down. The world is stuck in slow motion, black and white. Radiator is empty, no water to fill it.
Tick, tock, ti- Vrooom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was that? Time catches up with reality as the bus to take us home arrives. A new hope was born! Sombre faces turn to laughing faces with cherry red cheeks. The world spun once more.
Tick, Tock.

Requirements needed for our reggio project!
*A good thinking cap (this is very important!)
*A good imagnation (you need this.)
*Lots of ideas! (you'll find this hard if you don't have theese.)
First of all, we were all thinking: WHAT IS CULTURE? After iots of hard thinking, we finally found out that culture is where you live, what you eat, what games and sport you play, what clothes you wear, what you say, and your way of living. It took us a long time to find out all of this. We worked hard, thinking about our enviroment, drawing what is, and what we thought culture was. A word that kept popping up was... HOMELY! We then picked a word and drew what it meant. For example, anegr would mean a bunch of scribbles!
After all that, we worked on culture some more. We choose a THICK QUESTION, wrote it in our books, and did lots of research to answer our question. we eventually found the answers. Back to our homely look. Because it looked more calm,we turned all the desks around to face each other. We couldn't get into them anymore! We took out all our books and put them on the floor in piles of subjects. We then took away 8 desks and 8 chairs for our homely look. Now people can sit where they like! But what of our pencil cases and drinkbottles? We put them in our cubbyholes with our bags. But then where did our books go? We put them in their piles on a grey shelf in the corner of the room. When we wanted our books, we got them handed out to us. We then had the problem of bumps on the desks when we were writing or drawing. Cloths were suppossed to fix it, but they kept slipping!
After lots of thinking, talking, ideas and documentation, someone had the idea of wooden boards to stop the desk bumps. Then, a few children mesured a group of 4 desks. It came to about a metre squared. After Mrs Stewart brought in a piece of wood, we then thought about what patterns we could use. Puzzle piece? Patchwork? A map? We then got into 5 groups depending on the culture we had studied and decided what pattern we wanted for our design. Here are the groups: AFRICA, ASIA, EUROPE, AMERICA, and of course: NEW ZEALAND! Our groups got a few pictures of artwork from that continent so we could get ideas from them. After witing and drawing our ideas on paper, disscussing with our classmates, sharing our ideas, drawing some more, and having more disscussions, we were ready to paint.
Mrs Stewart had brought all 5 boards so we could start when we wanted. But then we had to have paint! Students brought in lots. Some people even brought in some thick paintbrushes. Finally we were ready to paint. We had lots of ideas, big paint sessions, more ideas, more disscussions on what we had done, more ideas, more disscussions, and lots of changes. After MONTHS and MONTHS of hard work, we were FINALLY done!! We glossed once, and then we glossed again for extra shininess! We made videos, and put them on the blog. But now that we're done...
I WONDER WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT??
Culture,we all have it in our blood it helps us learn it helps us love you can't deny it, they're all unique, amazing and wonderful at the same time, it bonds the people together as one,culture shows the country's national food, clothes, language and amazing people. Culture comes
in all shapes and sizes. Culture is beautiful. My culture is Maori I love it I can speak a little maori I know what my culture is because my mum
taught me Maori I've been on heaps of Maori maraes it's the best time ever. I LOVE CULTURE!!!

Spring is here ,young and old birds are gliding in their dreams.The cats and dogs are warming up in the bright ball of gas in the sky.
The butterflies are flapping their wings while the wind whistles.
The daffodils stand crouched like soldiers about to go to war.The sky is a beautiful aqua :that has cotton candy blobs that gush with the wind.The rocky mountains are covered in pa;e white snow; like frosting on a cake.
The bees will buzz ,the birds will sing ,the sheep will "baa"and cows will "moo"but only you can feel this damaged towns heart beat.

The inky black settles once again.
Anther night alone.
No one to talk to no one for company,
she shivers and rattles in the cold winter air.
Even though the team pillars are meant to protect her
she still doesn't feel safe.
Every day and night she longs for the trees and plants to talk to her,
but because she's new nobody likes her.
Slowly she drifts off to sleep.
As the sun rose the next morning everything was different.
The fences had vanished, the tradesmen had disappeared
and something was tickling her left arm.
She looked around, it was a child!
A little toddler sliding down her arms.
It tickled, in a warm and happy way.
Suddenly it stopped, she soon realized it was because of the bell.
She thought about the tickling feeling she just felt, and if she'd ever feel it again.
2 hours later the bell rung again, but this time it wasn't just a toddler, it was a whole wave of children!
All pushing and shoving to be the first one on the new playground.
A few minutes later that little tickling feeling she had felt earlier grew into a HUGE tickling sensation! As the children slid down her arms,crawled through her throat and played in her sandpit.
She no longer felt lonely, she knew the children loved her and she loved them.
That night her heart no longer felt broken,
it felt mended and warm and happy.
Even though the children were gone she could still felt like they were there, and tickling her.
She loves that tickling feeling, and she'll never let it go.
Divorce
She sighs! Another day of destruction. More high voices, fighting and stomping around court. This heart-breaking and time consuming. SLAM! She jumps. There is sadness normally in bright eyes with a horrible mix of frustration. Floating around the room, she eavesdrops on the loud conversation. She can't believe this place! So many heart-breaking things have happened here. There is so much anger, guilt, impatiance and teary eyes.Divorce stares guiltily, waiting for her couple to slam brass handles. She was the one who built the icy wall between them. After the long hours of fighting she snuck through the wooden door with her couple. Divorce saw the pair turn left. Going left, she looked back at the past and saw a joyful, patiant family. All frustration gone. Not teary eyes but dancing eyes. She was captivated by the love in their hearts, fasinated with the thoughtfulness, intriged by the joy.
Looking at the present, the eyes of the pair she was with now were full of glumness, frustration and despair. Destruction hung over them like a frosted blanket. Pain, sorrow and anger zoomed through their confused, impatiant heads. She had inscribed UNHAPPINESS in their hearts and etched ANGER on their souls.
By Nikita
Dad sounded very excited. "What?" I said. "I got us five tickets to tonight's Crusaders game!" "How much were they?" mum asked" "I got them for free!", dad replied. "Excuse me dad but what time does the game start?" "Oh i almost forgot the game starts at um", he stopped and looked at his watch and he said "in about one hour!" "Were going to be late to the game we have to go!" About an hour later we finally met are destination." " I'm so hungry", I exclaimed. "Well lets go see are seats first." "Ok", I replied.Slowly we walked up the cold medal steps and there it was the big dewy wet field. My heart is pumping with joy. My first rugby game I said to myself and then the game started with a kick off. All the good players got tries threw out the whole game Dan Carter and Richie Macaw got the most tries threw out the game. After the rugby game we got something decent to eat then we drove home. And that night we would dream of what it would be like scoring so many tries in front of so many fans. What do you think it would be like?
Surfing is my passion, my way of life and what I LOVE. It all started when my mum started surfing-3 years ago, when I was 7 and my sister-Sophia was 4. Ever since my mum started I've always watched her, thinking how fun it would be, I mean she's ALWAYS out there! I REALLY wanted to have a go! 1 year later- when I was 8 and Sophia was 5 we went to the beach again. Me and Sophia thought it would be like normal- watch mummy, go to the lolly shop and go home. But this time it was different, when we got to the beach mummy said "Okay girls, get out of the car and get your wetsuits on"
"Okay we'll get our...WHAT?!"
"Okay we'll get our...WHAT?!" We both replied in unison. "WE'RE GETTING WETSUITS?!?"
"That must mean...
WE'RE GOING SURFING!!!"
"WE'RE GOING SURFING!!!" We both screamed in joy! "Well we thought that you see me and daddy surfing all the time, so we thought that you would want to have a go, and if you like it we'll you out more! Mummy replied. So we got our gear on and headed out. The first few waves I caught were rubbish!!! I kept either falling off the board (also called a "wipeout"), not catching the wave or getting water up my nose! I was about to give up-I never knew surfing could be so hard! I decided to try to catch on more wave, so I paddled out. When I got to where the waves were I could see something moving in the distance, as it got closer i realised that it was a wave! And what looked like a good one too! So I swerved my board around and started paddling hard out. NO! I MISsed it again? NO!, NO NO NO NO NO! I'VE CAUGHT IT!!! MY FIRST WAVE!!! YES YES YES!!! I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT FELT LIKE! NOW I KNOW WHY MUMMY GOES SURFING ALL THE TIME! IT'S BECAUSE SHE LOVES IT AND SHE LOVES THE RUSH AND ADRENALIN THAT YOU GET WHEN YOU CATCH A WAVE!!! AND I LOVE IT TOO!!! And from that day on I've kept surfing and someday I REALLY hope to become a well-known professional surfer!

Hamish: My Mum said that I was a kiwi
Teacher: Would someone like to respond to Hamish?
Maia: My Mum also said that, because I wear jandals and stuff like that. She says that I eat Marmite like a Kiwi does.
Abby: My Mum said I was a kiwi. My Mum said Culture is what people relate to and what they are.
Andrew: My Mum said I am more Kiwi than British cause I've been here for longer.
Lily: I asked my mum what culture was and she said it is what you relate to and your values.
Dalton: My nana said I am Australian but I act like a Kiwi.
Teacher: Can you explain that?
Cassidy: Our accent.
Andrew: We have a reputation of our accent. eg. Kaora bro.
Alex: Kiwis say Awesome
Abby: Kiwis call them jandals.
Bridgette: I asked my Mum what culture is and she said it is where you come from.
Cassidy: But if you were born in England and you were living in NZ for more time then you wouldn't be more Kiwi you would still be more English because you were born there.
Teacher: So what is your theory?
Annalyse: It's your opinion on how something works
Keely:It's what you think.
Teacher: So Cassidy what is your Theory?
Abby: I think her Theory is that she is still English even though she lives here.
Teacher: Do you think Abby is right Cassidy?
Cassidy: I don't know
Carl: I asked my parents and they say I am British cause I was born there but I don't think I am British cause I don't do British stuff, I have a Kiwi accent.
Alex: My parents said that culture is what you relate to and what you believe in.
Dalton: It's what you've been brought up with and how you would be a different culture because of how you have been brought up.
Bridget: What if you were born on a plane between two places?
Andrew: I was bought up as and English person in NZ.
Andrew: NZ European is your ethnicity it can't be a culture because it is betwen two places European and NZ.
Annalyse: I think the difference between culture and ethnicity is where you were born . I think culture is what you do now, what you eat and how you lay your bed eg. the English just have a duvet but Kiwis have blankets, sheets and a duvet. ( a large number of children agree with Annalyse).
Abby: If you have lived here all your life you are a kiwi.
Carl: I think ethnicity is things you sometimes do with your family.
Cassidy: I think culture is the way you live your live.
Keely: I agree with Abby cause I've lived here all my life.
Chelsea: I think Annalyse was trying to say that different cultures do things differently.
Teacher: Do you have to be just one culture?
21/5/12
Categories of culture:
Language
Food
Clothing
Education
Religion
Beliefs
Landmarks
Entertainment
Alex: I don't think landmarks are part of culture they are just about the country.
Annalyse: I think they can be part of the culture, like the pyramids hold so much of the Egyptian culture.
Abby I agree with Annalyse because the Eiffel tower makes you think of Paris
Cameron: Yea but that doesn't make it part of their culture.
Nikita: I agree with Annalyse because tradition things are held near landmarks.
Hamish: Is the clock tower in Rolleston part of our culture, cause it has names on it.
Cameron: No that is a remembrance landmark.
Cameron: I'm sure that when someone built the Eiffel tower they couldn"t build elevators so it can't have always been a part of their culture that was around.
Andrew: I think landmarks are a part of the culture for example stone henge is a really big part of England its what makes their country knowns
Caitlin It depends on the landmark and how long it has been there.
Annalyse: I agree
KJ: I think it depends on why the landmark is there.
Teacher: In terms of what?
KJ: I'm not sure
Cameron: Well the Roman Colosseum is part of their culture
Andrew: Yea because it relates to entertainment
Caitlin: Yea so it is part of the cutlure if it's purpose relates to their culture!

Cameron: When I was on the Marae we had to greet each other and the woman wore cultural dresses and the men were in front of them and they performed the haka for us and we greeted the men and woman by doing a hongi, it is not just a hand shake you hold hands and touch foreheads and noeses.
KJ: I have been to a Marae where you couldn't speak English.
Cameron: When you hongi you go along the line of people and up on the ceiling at the Marae there are stories on the ceiling about Maori Myths and legends and there is one about captain cook and when the English settled NZ it is also about the treaty of Waitangi.
KJ: Yes and you have hangi and they sometimes dance around it.
Cameron: Hangi is food under the ground, it is wrapped in leaves or foil and it has hot rocks that smoke it. You have to catch the fish yourself, you don't just get it from the supermaket, that is not proper.
KJ: that is the same with eels too and what we call Kumara the English call potato.
Cameron and KJ showed the class a hongi and Mrs S took a phto.
Dalton: What are those big totem poles.
KJ and Cameron: They tell mini stories with pictures and not writing.
Please see our photo babbles of the food we made and brought today. Thank you to all the parents that helped it was a great day!!
After the lunch we discussed camping as a New Zealand tradition that isn't done in every culture due to the weather, snakes, flies and the fact that they may not be able to afford it.
13 children that didn't think they had a culture before say they do now.
Cameron said that camping in Kaiteri is part of his family tradition and cultures as did a number of other children.
Message to all parents: Please read our documentation so you understand what we need help with.

China is a country south of Mongolia. With a population of 1,280,700,000 people it makes it one of the most common countries in the world. China is very well known for their food.
Japan has a very respectful culture. If one is younger than another, the younger one shows great respect to the elder. The Japanese are also very smart. For example, some Japanese teenagers have been known to create their own words, some even get in dictionaries! Read on to find out more about the amazing Japanese culture!
Food
In Japan they must be very precise about their food on the plate, but it also must be tasty. Rice (the main dish) is prepared in many different ways, the Japanese eat rice cakes, rice crackers, sushi and mix rice with lots of different dishes with red beans, fish and vegetables. The Japanese also eat A LOT of fish, they catch more fish than any other country!
Clothes
Usually, Japanese people wear kimonos. Kimonos are short traditional gowns, which come in many different colours. Both men and women wear them. Kimonos are fastened with a long wide sash called an obi. The obi is wrapped around the waist an tied on the back. Although, many Japanese people prefer to wear western clothing. Western clothing is what the Japanese call New Zealand clothing. They like to wear it because it is less expensive and more comfortable.
Celebrations
The two most important holiday celebrations in Japan are New Year's and Bon Obon. Getting ready for New Year's starts in mid-December when everyone cleans and decorates their houses. During the last part of December forget-the-year parties (A.K.A bounenkai) are hosted. However, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are spent quietly with their family. Obon is the "Festival For The Dead". It is usually celebrated in mid-August. It is a Japanese belief that the spirits of the dead family members come back down to earth to visit their living familes. Houses are cleaned and organized for the visits. Lanterns are hung in front of houses to welcome and guide the spirits. Families also visit the graves, where they pray and place offerings of flowers, food and drink. Public dances called Bon Odori are held. Here people build a wooden structure called a Yagura, which is where the musicians play. The dancers dance in a circle around the Yagura. When Obon ends the families let floating lanterns go to guide the spirits back home.
Famous Landmarks/Places
Mount Fuji or Fujiyama is one of the most popular places in Japan for both Japanese and tourists. The Japanese call Mount Fujiyama "The Holy Mountain". Its name means endless life. Kyoto is a city known for its events that happened in the past. Over fifteen of these events have been put into the UNESCO World Heritage groups. Kamakura, a town close to Tokyo is the home of the famous of the famous Great Buddha statue weighing about 100 tonnes. For some time the statue sat in a wooden temple, however when a massive tsunami destroyed Kamakura in 1945, the temple was carried out yo sea, so now the statue sits out in the open air.
There are many important parts of Japanese culture including food-their main food is rice, clothing-their main thing they wear are kimonos and celebrations-their two main celebrations are New Year's and Bon Obon, famous landmarks/places-their three main famous landmarks/places are Mount Fuji or Fujiyama, Kyoto and Kamakura.

I wonder if Rosie will ever go to a bunny show.
I hear the crowd roar!!!
I see bunnies licking and loving eachother.
I want to be a vet.
I pretend I am touring with Taylor Swift!

I cry when I see dead animals.
I understand life.
I say "bunnies" a lot.
I dream about fun things!
I try new things.
I hope I will get to meet Taylor Swift!
I am a cheeky, unique girl who LOVES bunnies, surfing and Taylor Swift.
I am a funny, sporty, chatterbox who loves my pony.
I wonder what life would be like without laughter and happiness.
I hear branches rustling and leafs fluttering round the air
I see a flood of happiness and smiles spreading through the crowd
I want to be a famous horse rider and go to the Olympics
I pretend that I am sleeping in a cloud of candy floss,
I feel the cold winters breeze blowing on my face,
I touch the lush green grass tickling my toes,
I worry when another earthquake strikes
I cry when I hurt myself or someone else
I understand that we have no power to control natural disasters
I say "random" often
I dream that one day I will be the best rider in the world
I try to be the best me I can be
I hope that one day I will go to the Olympics or represent New Zealand for horse riding
I am a funny, sporty chatterbox who loves my pony
I am a funny,sporty, chatterbox who loves netball

I dream about haunted houses and creepy clowns
I try my hardest at school
I will be a silver fern when i grow up
I am a funny, sporty chatterbox who loves netball
Sweet green grass sneaking through their toes.
Summer dreses swaing in the summer breeze.
The smell of shining green grass that just got
spraed out of the mower.
Watching string gliding through hands as they
put up a flag gliding in the air.
However look a little closer and you well see
its the Boniface familys.
After that a old women strolles out with a glass
of sparkly lemanade.
The dark water flows as the heat of the summer day goes by.The slides sliver while children sway and swearve as the deep aquablue water waits until...boom people diving off diving boards.Boom splash
again and again and again until it stops the day is over now people hopout and grab there towels
and go home but there will be more people coming tomorow.
You're overwhelmed with the twitters and tweets of tuis and bellbirds the second you step onto the brownish-redish deck. The whistling wind tousles and blows your hair as well as the dark green leaves from the majestic weeping willow that stands firm on the emerald green grass that glistens in the morning dew. The scent of the flourishing pink, white and red roses is carried on the wind like a dove on a breeze.A rusty old swing set squeaks and squeals like a little brown field mouse with his long pink tail caught in a trap. As the the sun goes down Scruffy flies home.
Hi Everyone!
Welcome to Room 8b7 for 2012!!
I am really looking forward to getting to know everyone in 8b7 this year!
This is our brand new blog that we will be using during the year to record all the fabulous learning that we do in our class!
I have had a fantastic holiday in the countries of Cambodia, Laos and Thailand. I met lots of children and even some teachers in these countries and had some fabulous experiences seeing how people live and learn.
Check back here regularly for updates on our learning!!
Mrs S
