Skateboarding

Yesterday Billybob came around to my place. I was showing him how to skateboard. He fell off two times but he did not cry. He just got back on. He is very good on a skateboard. He went up my ramp and he did not fall off on the way down.

Billybob in Christchurch

On Friday Ella and I got to take Billybob the kea home because we were going to Christchurch. On Saturday we went to Orana Park. We took lots of photos of Billybob and different animals. That night Ella took Billybob to 'Princesses on Ice'. That was amazing to watch.

Billybob

On Thursday Billybob the kea finally arrived in Ruma Kea. He had been living in Auckland before he went on a trip to Los Angeles and New York. He flew back to Christchurch where he had a great time meeting people like Jason Gunn and Serena off 'What Now'. He is now living in Ruma Kea but as he loves to travel he wants to go on trips with the children in Ruma Kea. All they have to do is email him at babykea@ymail.com to ask him if he wants to go, and he will check his diary to see if he is free.

Waimate walk with the middle school.

We went on a walk around Waimate. We were looking out for organisations and old buildings.
It was tiring. When we were at Seddon Square we had lunch and most of us played tag. On the way back we were all moaning but we all had fun.

The walk around Waimate

On Thursday 7th May Ruma Kea, Weka and Kakapo went on a walk around Waimate to look for organisations. We all had fun but in the end we were very tired. After we'd stayed at Seddon Square so we could have lunch, we were off to the Norman Kirk Swimming Pool. After that we went to look at the fire station, the high school and then we went past the kindergarten and church. On the way back to school we got really thirsty so we were grateful when we got back to school.

Waimate walk 1

The senior classes went for a walk around Waimate (to find out about Waimate). We learnt that the town pool was named after a prime minister of New Zealand. He was born in Waimate
and his name was Norman Kirk. We had to be with partners and had a board, a pencil and a rubber with us. We had lunch at Seddon Square and it was a lot of fun. We thanked the parents and then went home.

Our walk around Waimate

On Thursday the 7th of May the seniors of Centennial School went on a walk around Waimate. We left after playtime, and we had lunch at Seddon Square. We had a map of Waimate and as we went past any organisations we marked them down on our maps.

Walking around Waimate

On Thursday we went for a walk around Waimate. We went past the Waimate Transport, Norman Kirk Swimming Pool' the fire station and lots more. We had lunch at Seddon Square where there were a lot of games to play like tag leaf fight. Then the teachers told us to line up and we went for another walk. It was very tiring.

Ruma Kea's Walk

The Year 4, 5 and 6 children walked around Waimate to see what services and organisations there are in Waimate. We went past the fire station and the police station as well. The parents were a big help and so were the teachers. We had lunch at Seddon Square.
