The concert

On Wednesday the 18 of September my school and I along with other schools went to the CBS Arena. We went to the CBS Arena to play in a music concert. We all arrived at Richmond School - 5.45 pm and we travelled by bus together to the CBS Arena. My school and I arrived at the CBS Arena by 6.30 pm and my school and I left the CBS Arena at 8.45 pm and we all return to school at 9.15 pm. We could bring our mum's, dad's or even our friends.

Cool Top Team Challenges

On Tuesday the 29th October there was a top team challenge. The schools that were there were Linwood North, Shirley Primary, Banks Avenue, Seabrook Mackenzie, my school and I with all the schools. There were 9 challenges in the top team challenge.  My favourite was plug the pipe because the team and I got wet by the water that came out of the wholes in the pipes.

I did the bottom holes first because the water came out of those ones first. The egg and spoon was the easiest activity. The hardest was the puzzle of New Zealand. In the end we didn't win but we all got an ice block and it was yummy. The team colours were orange, yellow, purple, red, blue and green.

My opinion is that the Top Team Challenge was the coolest activity.

My Best Memories

My Best Memories 

  Hey it's me Jakita. During the time that I have been here at Richmond school it has been an adventurous time. My time here has gone by so fast. One of my memories is with the wind in my face and the water splashing in the air and with my class and I being on a boat, luckily we all had life jackets on. During the boat ride one of our class mates lost a hat in the sea we saw the hat a lot of times but we kept on missing the hat and after a lot of circling around in the end we got the hat. 

We also went swimming at Jellie Park we mainly did back stroke and speaking of pools there was a opening at Shirley intermediate for their swimming pool. My class and I went in to the swimming pool after the speeches all the girls except for one had sore ears afterwards because us three girls put our heads under the water and the water was freezing but when my ears were getting sore I got out of the pool. After that my class and I went back to school. 

The Richmond gala

On Friday 8 November Richmond School held their Gala Celebration. We were celebrating and thanking our community for all their support over the years. Richmond school has been open since 1872-2013 and this school is 138 years old. It used to be across the road by the park before it moved to this site. 

The gala was held at Richmond School, my school. We got to set up the tables, chairs and the food. My friend and I got to help our Principal out with the hard work.

A lot of people came to the gala we found out that there were two people there that came to this school when they were little and they could't believe how much the school had changed from there.

At the gala everything was free and at that gala we had a huge bouncy castle there were two entries and two exits the huge bouncy castle was like a rase corce but it was fun when you got in. 

There was a ride were you could drive a little jeep around in a oveverle it was scarey when got stared but when I got moving it was pretty cool and the cheapskate that I was way to scared to do and the ceepskate had skateboards, ramps and skates. The food at the gala was for free to there was bacon butties, meat pattie sandwich, sausage sizzle, coffee, tea, juice, water, muffins, fruit pottes, fruit, candy floss, pop corn and ice blocks.

Cool Top Team challenges

On Tuesday the 29th October there was a top team challenge at our school. The schools that were there were Linwood Noth, Shirley Primary, Backs Avenue, Seabrook Mackenzie and my school and I were with all the schools . There were nine challenges in the top team challenge. My favourite was plug the pipe. That activity was my favourite because the team and I got wet by the water that came out of the holes in the pipes.

 I did the bottom holes first because the water came out of those ones first. The egg and spoon was the easiest activity the hardest was the puzzle of New Zealand. In the end we didn't win but we all got an iceblock and it was yummy. The team colours were orange, yellow, purple, red, blue and green

In my opinion is that the Top Team Challenge was the coolest activity of all.

Flick it on challenge

I'm back to tell you about the " Flick it on Challenge" that my class and I are doing. The " Flick it on Challenge" is a programme that we do.  We've been making movies with no sound and there is two more schools working with us one school in America and another in the North Island, NZ. It's been hard work too because a lot of us have had to film the scenes on two iPads.

This week and last week we have been going places and making a movie. There are four scenes pre European, early European, present and future. We had to film in a groups of four but I had to buddy up with two groups because I was in two scenes. In every scene there is two time travellers, their names were Hannah and Noa. 

In the scenes the time travellers could see the people in the past and future but the people couldn't see the time travellers. My opinion is that this flick it on challenge was the coolest trip ever . 

3.09.13 Mine Craft Class Room Design

Today I would like to tell you about our mission that we have achieved this term. At the start we draw a plan of our class room then we used some plastic blocks next so that it looked 3D. Then we did it with Lego but when we went on to mine craft and started building it was so different to the plan in our books. My class and I have been sighed up to design a class room for a new school that will be built in Christchurch. We are using mind craft it's a virtual world that you can build stuff in. We had to create a class room that we would want to Learn in. We all made a different class room and if there is no more room left then some of us have built an up stairs part. We've built some rooms up stairs or we could just make more room in our class rooms. I have a library, storage room, art room, dancing room and a teaching room too.So far I'm going to have a baking class, hui, play class and a music class in my design.

In my opinion I think  Mine craft is a good way to show your plans and design ideas of the building that you want to build. However the difficulty with Mine craft is that you can only build with squares and no other shapes. My next step is to add water, plants and animals to my plan.
