How to drive your parents crazy over the holiday!

How to drive your parents crazy over the holiday!

12/4/16

I didn’t really know how to go about this so I asked my mum for some ideas on how to drive her crazy.  She said that back rubs really drive her bonkers!! (She repeated backrubs so they must really drive her crazy.)

The one thing that you must not do ever is pick her flowers or get her presents.  What drives her most nuts is doing your chores!!!

A few other things she said were  looking after your siblings and  offering to cook dinner.  A few other random things include doing laundry, making coffees / teas /hot drinks and giving girly manicures.  So basically you have to do anything and everything you can do to help your mum out at home.

Hey, wait  a minute.  I think I’ve just been tricked.

Whakainaka project.

We are a part of a city wide project to protect our whitebait.. It is called the whakainaka project. Inaka is the Ngai Tahu word for whitebait.

We go out on Wednesday afternoon to Anzac Drive where the old Kate Sheppard rest home used to be. We check five sites for pests.

We put peanut butter cards on the posts and when we come back we look to see if they have been eaten.  In the picture above you can see it has been chewed at the bottom by a hedgehog or maybe a rat.

Passions !!!!!!!

This year every Friday we do passions.

We choose one of the many subjects available or make our own, subjects include: Parkour, hip hop, comics, cooking, art and many more.

Some subjects have tutors e.g. Parkour has Jacob who comes and teaches parkour professionally and safely 

The art group have asked Helen to help out with art and are making a mural for the school. 

And Kelsi comes in and helps with cooking. 

Passions is a fun part of the week because we get to something we are passionate about.

Pool party

This week, students from Rāwhiti came and enjoyed themselves at the pool party run by some amazing year 8 students as part of our fundraising. 

Our Tangaroa leaders did a superb job of organizing the event right from the word go and everyone enjoyed the games, prizes and fun in the pool. 

Thanks to everyone who came along and supported us!

Tino pai o koutou mahi!
