Abracadabra Magic show

On the 14th of November a professional magician from be bright, eat right educational show came to Oruaiti school. His stage name is Vas kolvalski.

 He did an amazing show teaching us kids about eating right and teaching us about what foods are right to eat and others that can be bad for our health! 

He had living creatures such as rabbits and doves. He also liked to play with fire he also set a few things on fire like his own arm, boxes and paper. He also asked some people to come and join him on stage. 

My favourite bit of the show was when he made the dove turn into a rabbit which blew my mind and at first I thought that the bunny was in the box the whole time but it wasn't in there the first place which bugged me! I also like the giant paper explosion that he did. he first shredded a piece of paper and before you know it, it was a giant paper explosion and flying over our head then that's when our minds blew up with amazement!

THANK YOU VAS KOLVALSKI WITH THE BE BRIGHT EAT RIGHT EDUCATIONAL MAGIC SHOW! AND WE HOPE YOU COME BACK SOON!!!!

  

Chrome book care

For this week for cyber smart we were learning how to look after our chrome books properly!

The Torture Hike

We were learning how to create a recount.

 The Torture Hike.

I packed up my stuff to get ready for two hours of complete torture. We ended up walking the enormous Mahinepua track. I arrived at the first sign and thought to myself  that I was going to die. I continued the torture and as I looked behind me I could see millions of kids struggling to make it. We got closer and closer to our destination, more kids came running to the front to see where we were going to end up.

When we reached a split lane Whaea Meg said   “Ok now we are going to take the coastal loop”,  that's when we reached at least a thousand stairs.  I stood on every step step by step I felt my legs were going numb. I finally reached the top of the infinite staircase and my legs were aching We finally reached the end and the view was breathtaking, literally. Mr Pickard  said “ ok everybody get on your feet we are going to the very top.” all excited “And if you don't I will make you do 100 press ups.”

  Finally we meet at the 2 split signs. We sat down for morning tea and a few sips of water well for me I managed to drink all the water in one go. Once we finished, the teachers told us to pick up and get ready for the journey home and be sure to have you gear together. We had to be sure that we picked up all the food and to make sure we're not feeding the possums or other pests. stuff I said to Selwyn and told him that I will stay next to him on the journey home.

 As I made my way back to the place my legs started to ache and I felt like I was going to collapse and fall. I managed to make it back to Mahinepua beach and received a well earned swim.

- we need to  think carefully about what our consumers want to buy
-we need to advertise by using language that our consumers can understand
-we need to make sure that our product is better than others
-we have to make sure our product is original/ unique/ and better than others
