How to be a friend

1.Ask him or her if they would like to play with you.
2.Pick up something that they drop.
3.Try to be nice and kind, and very, very caring.
4.Be very helpful and will you be mean? NO! NOT AT ALL! NO WAY![To him or her]
5.You will probably be 100% or 89%. You will be incredible!!!!!!

Room 4 is learning about the rugby world cup we know lots of facts

Room 4 have been learning about the rugby world cup. We know most facts and we know that there are 48 games and we know 21 facts. Some of room 4 is going to most of the games just like me and Jordan are going to watch Samoa vs Namibia. I found out that a rugby team is coming up to the hall by the club and I am excited. I just can't wait. I wish I could see the All Blacks. I hope they win. Mrs.Clark has been getting lots of rugby world cup stuff out of the newspaper. Room 4
did some sketching of some rugby balls which wasn't that great. But most of them were fantastic. Some of us didn't know how to do a rugby ball so we asked Mr.Powley to do a sketch. Kurtis's sketch was marvellous. There were a couple more as well.

rugby world cup

Room four has been working so hard about the rugby world cup. I can't wait until the rugby games start. There are going to be heaps of people and the crowd is going to be wild. People are cheering for every team but cheer for Samoa and Namibia because they don't have enough money. FROM JORDAN MOHI

Friendship

To be a friend you have to love at all times. True friendship is seen through the heart not the eyes. The only way to have a friend is to be one. Friends encourage you to grow. A friend is with you through thick and thin. Two is better than one.

The mouse that lives under my house.

There is a mouse under my house! We call him Smokey because he looks like smoke. We just got kittens, so watch out Smoky! We have a dog, but he doesn't do ANYTHING because one night my mother was sitting outside with my dog and Smokey zipped inbetween my mother's legs and my dog didn't even bother moving! So we got kittens.

cold morning at Mamaku

It was a cold morning at Mamaku. I was looking in the tyres. There was heaps of ice. I took heaps out and smashed it. There was one left. I decided to show my teacher so I went to my class and she took a picture. Then after she took a picture I went out. Some other girls wanted to smash it but I said no. Then I smashed it in to a million pieces. The girls picked up the bigger pieces and smashed them. Then there were no more pieces of ice when I got back to the tyres.
