On Wednesday the 23rd of June the whole school had a Fifa World Cup day. It was held on the two fields. We had it because of the Fifa World Cup being on and New Zealand is in it. Before the day we were put into countries so we could come dressed up in their colours. There was lots of red and blue and white. Our team was Brazil. We had to wear yellow tops and the hardest teams we were playing against were Korea, Serbia and France. We came 2nd but Korea came 1st by 1 more point than us. We won lots, drew twice and lost a few. After it finished we felt exhausted but proud and we had an absolutely awesome day.

Room 11 have been learning about Maori Legends. They retold the legend of Maui and the Fish, when Maui went fishing and caught a large fish. This fish turned into the North Island of New Zealand. For art, they got into pairs and they recreated one part of the legend using water colours and collage. These painting were then put into a slide show so the children could retell the legend.
