This is Braden's marble gun and target that he made at Rally.
Rally is a place where kids can learn about God and have a great time.
I made this with Cam who is a leader at Rally. If you want play with it you have to pull this bit of wood back and then you put the marble and hit it down.
To make a pavlova you will need 3 eggs, 250g of caster sugar, a pinch of salt, one tsp of vanilla essence and one tsp of vinegar. First beat the egg whites and salt to gather until they are quite stiff then fold in the sugar and add vinegar and the vanilla essence. Place the mixture on the greased paper on a greased oven tray and bake it very slowly for 1 to1 1/2 hours at 120 degrees centigrade.
It tasted very yummy and Sam went to lunch in a hypo sugar high!

Nicole has been developing her blog for a while now and is keen to take photos and make links. The permanent links to our class blogs are on the right hand side of our class blog. You will be taken to Nicole's blog when you click on her photo.
You may have been following our blog lately and think that only the boys are making their own Blogger blogs but this is not so. Shania has made a blog and is busy adding extra links and even a clock and a hit counter. We are all learning off each other and the girls taught the boys how to add a clock of their choice! Cool bananas!
It had to be strong enough to hold the car.
You had to be cooperative otherwise your bridge will break!!!!!!
Blogged from Nicole's blog with Shania's help.
Nathan is a really keen blogger and has learnt how to add photos and links. If you have a look at Nathan's blog you will see a kotuku. A kotuku is a white heron and it is a very beautiful and rare bird that came to visit Nathan's house.
I just found this cool Ghost Addition Maths Game and that helps to reinforce the maths learning in our classroom. We are learning how to break up numbers to make them easier to add. So you break the seven into a six and a one- 34+6+1=41.
A number of people have shown an interest in the software that we use to record our bubble maps for our homework. It is called Kidspiration. You can do all sorts planning and recording with Kidspiration and it is available as a 30 day free trial after an on line download. You might like to download it and use it over the school holidays and see if you like it.
Skipping is a really good for a physical activity and a game. Cool!
This a really good thing to get fit.
I am pleased and proud to introduce Kieran's blog to our blogging friends around the globe. Kieran is a wonderful guitar player and shows such talent. Watch out for his name when he gets a bit older!We know that our blog is being looked at by lots of other people and today Room 12 from Richmond Primary used Sam's recipe as a role model for their baking. Here is what they said....
Gee whizz Sam. Did you know you were a star!!!!
This is my group ( Nicole ) we had to make a animation. First we had to make a brainstorm. Then we had to make a storyboard. then we had to make a background. We made a background and put all the photo' s into iphoto then put the pictures into Imovie. Then we had to put the title and credits on to the movie. Then we recorded our voices. Then we were finished.

I would like to recommend Firefox as a way to browse the internet. It is the browser we use at school and you can use it on a PC or an Apple equally well. It is a 17MB free download and after you do you can automatically import all your old bookmarks/favourites and passwords. Firefox has a number of really useful extras that make viewing the internet better.
Josh had a operation on his legs. He is now recovering at home. Jack went and visited him last night with Liam & Sally. Josh seemed happy playing his playstation. He is looking forward to having more visitors.
We liked Sam's rice bubble cake- yummmmmmmmmmy!

It's a good job I was sick and at home today as editing our Skype call to Rob Waddell in Valencia took ages. Never mind- it is all finished now. I had to edit it quite a bit because the file was HUGE.
Hugo talks to his good friend in Valencia.
Here we are just about to get started. The room soon filled with people.
Rob Waddell was a wonderful, warm, informative person to talk with and the children came through with interesting questions, unlike their teachers who suddenly lost the ability to talk sensibly when confronted with a TVNZ cameraman. I left the interview to the boss as he seemed to have things under control and my voice is all hoarse and scratchy from a cold.
Jackson gets interviewed by the camera person from TVNZ while Buzz chats with Janine. It's all go!
Mr B says his piece to the camera! What a cool experience. Thanks to everyone involved. The video will be on line soon.
