Have you ever touched snow?

Have you seen snow in real life?

Well I think that's going to be a yes because on Monday there was snow in Auckland.

Usually it snows only 3 times a century which is a pretty long time.

It was 4 degree’s but it was pretty warm inside.

But the sun came out so it turned out well...

Rugby History



Did you ever wonder what the first Rugby Ball was made out of ?

The first Rugby Ball was made out of a pigs bladder in the late 1800’s. was GROSS. There were a bunch of problems about having a pigs bladder as a ball. 1st because it was so smelly, it was disgusting to play with. 2nd because they had to blow the bladder with their lip’s (because pumps weren’t invented) , it was not healthy.

Immersion Assembly

This morning, the first day back at school, there was an Immersion Assembly. An Immersion Assembly is when the teachers talk about our topic. We found out that this term our topic is Keep Your Eye On The Ball, which is learning about the Rugby World Cup. When we walked in I saw almost all of the teachers wearing wigs for their items.

My favorite item was team 3 because the teachers,an All Black, French and Canadian representatives had to get a partner from the audience. Their partners had to sit at the back of them and feed them the Weetbix. The winner was the one who finished first. The All Blacks won (Miss Lavakula)

The best bit was though, if you sat up nicely you got a ticket and then the vendors gave you chip’s - hot chips with a sausage or a fizzy drink.
Then we went back to class.
