Mr Frizzle-tail’s Adventures with 4T

Mount Annan Christian College

Mr Frizzle-tail has enjoyed his time in 4T and has been joining us learning about different cultures in the student’s family in 4T.  He ate some of the student’s food they brought in. He loved the English scones, the Croation and the Greek cookies. Mr Frizzle tail has been very nice and he loved eating some of the food.

Mr Frizzle-tail joined us for so many other different things too. He joined us for math tests and reading. We also made a throne a crown and a table. He had so much fun!
Mr Frizzle tail enjoyed being with us and we shall miss him very much. It has been great being a part of his adventure!

Mr Frizzle tail is crying he doesn’t want to leave us we don’t want him to leave .I hope you can be as nice as we were. Thank you Mr frizzles tail for being with us.




ANZAC Day

25 04 2012

I was able to attend a community parade for ANZAC Day while in Reefton.

On ANZAC Day  New Zealanders and Australians commemorate those lost in war, and acknowledge the sacrifice and suffering of all involved.

ANZAC stands for the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.

In Reefton there is always a dawn service held at 6am and

a community parade at 10am.

I really liked the pipe band that led the parade!

Tomorrow I leave Reefton and return to Australia.

Thanks for having me New Zealand!

Have you ever attended an ANZAC Day service or been in a special parade?




I’m in Reefton!

22 04 2012

Hi everyone.

I had lots of fun with the classes in the North Island but all to soon it was time to move south.

On the way, I got to visit New Zealand’s Parliament Buildings and The Beehive (that’s where the Members of Parliament have their offices).

Can you see why it is called The Beehive?

I’m now in Reefton, on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

I got to spend some time with J during the school holidays.

This boy knows what I like!

We played in trees…

slept in cosy places …

and made all sorts of plans …

including digging for nuts!

Now I’m spending the weekend with some of the other B4 kids, before school starts on April 23.




Visiting St Patrick’s School in New Zealand

20 04 2012

Hello, on April 4th I came to visit Room 8 at St Patrick’s School.
First, I got to star in everyone’s consumer problems videos. They all looked great! Of course I was very busy being in all the videos. I think I was used very creatively. Here area a few clips I put together from the videos to show how well I did.

There was one more video but I couldn’t get that as it had been uploaded to another channel. You can watch it all here if you like.

Then, I went to technology with everyone and had a go at sewing with the machines, Ironing and pinning with the year eights,and hammering, designing and creating accessories with the year sevens. The Year 8s made me a cute blue outfit. I felt very smart in it. They even made me a blue tail warmer.

 

Finally it was time for me and the rest of the class to go home. I decided to go home with Teegan because she made my avatar. While I was with Teegan, Simone came over and we went all over to Paraparaumu Beach. I met lots of new friends and saw heaps of interesting things! First we went to a park. I had a go on the tyre swing and learnt how humans climb trees and so I climbed with them.

After that we went to the playground near the beach and tried the slides, the spinning top, the octopus, and the seesaw. I even stayed on the spinning top longer than Simone! We went to the beach for a while as well and found a dead fish and a shark head! (Gross). When We got back to Teegan’s house Simone had to go home but before she left I got to double on her bike! Once she had left we had dinner and we went to bed.

The next day, the last day of the term in New Zealand we went down to the Kapiti Public Library. We listened to a story and then everyone chose books to read for over the holidays.

I had a great time and as the students packed up to go home I started to pack up my bags because I am off down to the South Island. Looking forward to it already, I know I am just going to love meeting the students there.




Adventures with Broadlands

5 04 2012

Squirrel was lucky enough to arrive in time for camp. We prepared an envelope to post him from Mount Maunganui to make sure he got to Raumati Beach School in good time.
During Camp 2012 Squirrel played in a park with us, he climbed Mount Maunganui and explored the Rocky Shore around the Mount. After that we had to say good bye to Squirrel from Hot Water Salt Pools. That was sad but we knew he was going to visit some more interesting places.




Mr Frizzletail meets CAS

4 04 2012

First on Mr Frizzletail’s journey to R.B.S he started scribbling on Sam’s writing book. We took lots of photos of him around one of the best schools in the world. He swung on a big tree’s branch. We used him as a awesome cell phone. We did bunny ears behind his head secretly. And he got knocked off Sam’s head but he did not get very hurt though.

Mr Frizzletail’s day with TPZ

4 04 2012

On Friday afternoon Mr. Frizzle Tail had an amazing and dangerous adventure. He was climbing a big tree on the back field, and almost fell off. Mr. Frizzle tail also did a play, so he could be a future actor! His part was doing tap dancing in front of 29 people. He was really scared and embarrassed!

Mr Frizzletail’s time with us

4 04 2012

Last Monday, squirrel arrived in our class and we were his minders. His name is Mr Frizzletail. We also got a camera to take photos of him. In maths he decided to help us. And at lunch time he enjoyed climbing all the trees. We all had fun being his minders!




Squirrel tours Room 10 @ RBS

4 04 2012

Mr Frizzletail came to our class in the most luxurious way possible-in an envelope! Then the class unleashed it’s full love on him. The class had lots of enjoyment out of meeting and playing with Mr Frizzle tail and we captured it all on Ms Fothergill’s camera. He did art with Luke, he hung out of trees, and played Temple Run on the iPad. But much to the penguins annoyance he even stole the iPod touch!
As much as we did with him, he also did stuff on his own. But we lost him when Luke agreed to Elliots suggestion to make Mr Frizzletail do sit-ups. There was a delicate hint in his attitude that he didn’t like it. But then we had to hand him over to Elliot’s group…
