Happy Mother's Day!

Ruma Miromiro (1A) wanted to make something for their mums to say thank you for being amazing every day. We combined our cutting, colouring and decorating skills to construct some beautiful butterflies with a yummy treat inside. We hope our lovely mums enjoy their presents :)

A Fabulicious Afternoon in Ruma Miromiro

Reuben has been enjoying reading and listening to 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' by Roald Dahl at home and decided to try out some of Mr Wonka's wonderful recipes for himself! Reuben was kind enough to share his creation (Fabulicious Sherbert Fizz) with the rest of Ruma Miromiro and we were happy to be the guinea pigs! Yum!

Wild Weather!

Today Paremata School had to close because the rain was so heavy it caused water to flood all over the ground. The water was knee high in some places! Here are responses to the flooding from children in Korimako.

It's really slippery and deep. The rain is booming with thunder. There's going to be water everywhere.

I wonder how we're going to get home in the terrible rain? If little brother or sisters were here they'd like to play with their bath toys in the rain. The rubbish bin looks so little.

It's so deep that we can't get around the school. The school is so flooded that it looks like it's the sea. Maybe the cars might flood. Some people have seen the flood so big. It's hard to get home. I haven't seen it before.

The rain is so deep that some people have trouble walking around. People have to walk in their bare feet and not wear their shoes. Maybe you will have to take your shoes off to walk. The rain feels like hail. Trains might get stuck in the water. It's super-duper deep.
