Room 1A's Big Sleep In Assembly

It has been a very exciting week for Room 1A: on Friday we hosted our first assembly... in our jammies! We  worked hard practicing our lines and song with our buddy class Room 14 all week. Then on Friday morning it was time to share our learning (And a few laughs) with the rest of the school and our friends and whanau. We did an amazing job and Mrs Pupuke was very proud. Some of us were so excited about wearing our pyjamas that we stayed in them all day, we got some pretty funny looks in the playground!

Paremata School's Speedy Cross Country   By Room 3


On Wednesday the cross country was postponed, but on Thursday the 22nd of May, our excited class walked out to the field to watch the school cross country. "Go, go, go" shouted the crowd as the people raced around the course. 


Then it was our turn.  Theresa said "Are you ready to race?" We followed her to the middle of the field.  We were warming up. We jogged on the spot, kicked our bottoms, did star jumps and the hokey pokey dance to warm our bodies up. Then the year two boys raced. The blocks banged, the crowd went wild and we took off and sped along the track. Ryder had a little boost of energy and beat Ngatai. Tyler overtook Ryder and Ollie said "In the race my tummy felt strange".  Carter won the race. Ollie came second and Ben came third.  Room 3 had all the place winners. 

Ben, Carter, Ollie

Anya, Ella

Year two girls went next and Carter's sister, Anya, came first. Alesana came second and Eden and Ella came third equal. Lots of people were huffing and puffing. Anya said "When I was running I couldn't breathe very well". Chloe got the stitch, but she kept persevering.  



We can't wait until next year's cross country. What a lot to tell our parents when we head home at 3 o'clock.

Here are a few of our stories...

"On Friday we made popcorn. To make popcorn you need to have some corn, and the corn needs to get hot and then it turns into popcorn. You might have salt on it but we didn't have any. Everyone knows that popcorn is num num. Did you know that some popcorn might explode and it might go everywhere?" By Tammy
