Today Philip Smith visited us and told us all about his voyages on the Te Matau e Maui (waka) around the pacific islands. He told us how he uses the stars to guide him and his crew. We learnt about the Maori legend and how Maui pulled up the North Island of New Zealand.
We made our own waka with the help of some wonderful parents. Here are some photos of us making our waka.

Swimming
At Clive School there is a
pool. Every day we go for a swim. It is amazing. Everybody goes for a swim. I am in the stingray group. When I go under the water it kind of feels
like bubbles.

We have a pool at our
school and my class and I like playing in it.
We like playing in the deep end.
We like it in the pool and I’m in the seahorses.
By Alex
I love swimming. I love jumping in the pool. I am in the seahorses. I am not good at using a flutter board on my
back. I am good at diving in like a
teapot.
By Finn
At Clive School we had
swimming. I was in the stingrays. I felt happy.
I’m in the deep end. I like
swimming on my back. I don’t like
swimming on my front. It feels cold.
By Briar
I went to swimming at
school.
I can learn to swim.
By Panapa
At Clive School we go
swimming. It is lovely. We hop in when the teacher says. I like diving in the deep end. The pool is so big and so hot. I’m in the dolphin group.

Elmer
We have been reading the story "Elmer". We have learnt that we are all different and that being different is a GOOD thing. Here are our creative and very different elephants and some of the stories we wrote about Elmer.
Elmer was
shaking the tree. He shook and
shook. The berries were elephant colour.
By Zahara
I went
hunting with Josh and we shot Elmer.
Victory!
By Toby G
One night
Elmer couldn’t sleep. He was tired of
being different.
By Finn
Elmer was a
colourful elephant. He made the other
elephants laugh.
