Adele Broadbent

On Thursday (20/06/19) the senior syndicate got to meet a famous author named Adele Broadbent. She talked to us about when she started writing books, how, why, and more. She told us about how she started writing. Her inspiration for writing were things she experienced in her childhood. Most of the books she wrote were based on truth. I really enjoyed listening to her stories. But next time I think I could maybe ask a question.

Disco

Last Night Paihia School had our Disco. It was really fun because it was a glow in the dark theme. The PTA sold fizzies, lollie bags, and hot food, I bought Nachos and they were delicious. There was also a photo booth set up with heaps of props, my favourite prop was the cowboy hat because I could make myself look extra cool. What I really enjoyed was hanging out with my friends, taking photos and dancing.

Pangarau

For Pangarau (Maths) today Mr Lindsay taught us about geometry. We learnt about the rhombus and the parallelogram. We then had to go on Code Artist and code them ourselves. It was really fun but instead of a parallelogram I coded a 3D cube. It was very challenging to decipher coding to get things parallel. But other then that it was really fun and I can't wait to do it again.

Cultural Festival

Last week on Friday, the Kapa haka Roopu of Paihia School performed in Kawakawa at the Cultural Festival. It was really fun and I really enjoyed watching the other groups perform. After all the younger kids preformed we then watched a group that performed Cook Island dances. But before it was time to go, Kawakawa school performed in front of all of the Schools that were there. It was really fun and I liked the different performances that the other schools showed us. But I was pretty bummed out after we performed because I messed up in the start but at least I kept on going.
