This is our very first blog post.
We are a group of fun loving students aged 7 to 9 years old and we LOVE school (sometimes)!
We go to Shelly Park School in Howick. There are a few people from other countries such as China, India, South Africa and Korea. There are around 25 people in our class. There are about 20 classes and over 400 children in our school.
Did you know that Howick was the biggest Fencible landing ? Howick Historical village is all about the arrival of the Fencibles and we took a school trip there recently.The closest big city to us is Auckland, the biggest city in New Zealand.
Last term we learned about NZ innovators including Lord Ernest Rutherford, Jean Batten and Kate Sheppard.
In our school there is a uniform. We wear a jade green or white shirt, jade green or navy blue sweatshirt and either navy blue shorts or long pants. We also have PE (Physical Education) gear. There are 4 groups in the whole school. They are Whero(Maori for Red), Kowhai (Maori for Yellow), Kakariki(Maori for Green) and Kikorangi (Maori for Blue). Maori is the language of the natives of New Zealand also called Maori
Shelly Park Primary almost on Auckland. Can you find Auckland?
Well done boys - a great effort today in working out how to put a blog together and then you still went home and id some more on it! You are stars. Thank you. What are some of your favorite foods and places in NZ that we can share with our quadblog friends. Mine would have to be TimTam biscuits (the dark chocolate ones) and the camping on the Coromandel. What a quiet peaceful place that is - a little remote, lots of forests and very few people! Love Mrs H
