Exposition writing

Today we tried our hand at exposition writing. This is when you write to present your point of view. Our subject was whether we thought PE kits were a good idea or not. 17 people thought PE kits were a good idea and 3 thought they were a bad idea. In our school all students from Yr1-6 have to change into their PE kit for fitness and sport.

I think students should have P.E. kits because when you do Jump Jam and you are wearing your uniform it can smell a lot. If you don't wear your P.E. kit and you are doing exercises you might get holes in your uniform. I think schools should have P.E. kits.    By Michelle

I think students should have P.E. kits because if you get very super sweaty you can get changed and be alright. It is thin so you don't get super hot. You can use it to not get as sweaty as Jetipeti. It is part of our school uniform so we have to wear it.  By Connor

Flash Haka

There is a new phenomenon sweeping the world: the Flash Haka! It started in Sylvia Park, Mt Wellington, Auckland and in two days has spread to Spain and Australia. The All Blacks will rule supreme for the Rugby World Cup and this is how we show our support worldwide!

Heroes

Today we discussed what we thought made someone a hero. We decided that they need to be strong, kind, generous, talented and caring.

Rugby World Cup Song

There's a dream 

I feel so rare, so real 

All the world in union 

The world as one

Gathering together 

One mind, one heart 

Every creed, every colour 

Once joined, never apart

Searching for the best in me 

I will find what I can be 

If I win, lose or draw 

It's a victory for all

It's the world in union 

The world as one 

As we climb to reach our destiny 

A new age has begun

We face high mountains 

Must cross rough seas 

We must take our place in history 

And live with dignity

Just to be the best I can

Sets the goal for everyman

If I win lose or draw

It’s a victory for all.

It's the world in union 

The world as one 

As we climb to reach our destiny 

A new age has begun

It’s the world in union

The world as one

As we climb to reach our destiny

A new age has begun

It’s the world

The world in union

A new age has begun

Romanian Art: Costel Larca

Romanian artist Costel Iarca captured attention on the international art scene for a patented application technique that leaves the canvas textured and three-dimensional. This procedure involves layering latex caulk and acrylic paint, giving depth and definition to the surface of his unique abstract and figurative paintings. We used one of his pictures to inspire our own creations. Didn't we do an awesome job? Come visit LZ4 to see our portraits.
