Yesterday I went to the Unison prize giving  for ripper rugby.  I got an award by the Magpies in recognition of Discipline, work ethic and sportsmanship.

We went to the bike park on Marine parade.

Yes - we were practising our safe walking across pedestrian crossings and safe biking around the bike park.  On the way we stopped at the Havelock North New World to practise safe walking around a supermarket car park.
We have also practised what we should do in an earthquake; planned a safe meeting place if there is an emergency at home; practised our fire drill at school; practised an emergency stop on the bus; walked safely on a country road; practised crossing a country road; heard about being safe with electricity; watched the Unison linesmen at work up Te Mahanga Road - such a lot to cover in a short time.  Go Room 1!  Great learning!

My dog is a fast eater.  She can shake my hand.  I play with her every day.  She is a chocolate labrador.  My dog's name is Willow.  She has a boyfriend.  His name is Butch.  He is a work dog.  He is cool.

I am learning  about the petals and the  blossoms.  They are white little petals.  The blossoms are pretty. They  twirl on to the ground.

At Poukawa we have a beautiful plum tree.  It has white petals on it.  The bees are buzzing around us.  When the blossoms fall off the tree, they twirl to the ground.  I love the plum tree.

We went outside to see the plum tree.  It has blossoms on it.  I took a close look at the blossoms.  I saw the petals falling like snowflakes.

At Poukawa there's a beautiful tree. The strong wind comes.  The petals fall off.  The bees are humming.  The birds are singing.  It feels like home.

At Poukawa School we have the most beautiful plum blossom.

The beautiful petals are drifting

off the tree.  The tree is losing petals.  One of the 

 petals fell on my nose.  I  had nectar on my nose. 

It tickled my nose.  "Stop it! It's too ticklish" I said to the tree.

At school  we held a cross country and we jumped  over the wire fence and over  a wooden   fence  and  in to the  plantation  and  we  had to go  down a  steep  hill   and under the goalpost to the finish line.  

I felt tired and hot at the end.

At cross country we faced Pukehou and Argyll East.  I came 4th.  I just had to beat 2 Pukehou kids and one Poukawa kid.  It was awesome as. I jumped the fence, ran round the plantation, round the cone and through the goal posts.   I sprinted as fast as I could across the finish line.
