Rugby World Cup
The children in Tui talked and wrote about what they like about rugby! Below are some of their thoughts...
In rugby I like the flags. by Sapphire
I like the rugby because the All Blacks are funny when they do the haka. They poke out their tongues out when they do the haka. by Becky
I like the All Blacks doing the haka. The All Blacks are the best at kicking the ball. by Skyler
In rugby I like the haka and when the All Blacks play the game. by Andrew
It is cool when they do the haka. I like it when they poke their tongues out. It is really cool at the rugby too. By Kate
I like the haka because the All Blacks do it before they start the game. by Dylan
In rugby I like the haka. When the All Blacks play for New Zealand they get tries. When the All Blacks sing they are good. Go the All Blacks! by Joel
I like the All Blacks doing the scrum in rugby. I like the All Blacks winning the Rugby World Cup 2011. by Cameron
My favourite thing of rugby is the World Cup 2011 because the All Blacks will try to win. They always try their best and it is very important they win. by Becks
In rugby I like the haka and the fireworks. Every team has a turn and the world cup is hard to win. by Levi
In rugby I like Ritchie. He is cool because he is the best player. He might get the rugby world cup. by Josh
In rugby I like the haka. When the All Blacks poke out their tongues I laugh. by Charlie

Trip to Auckland
As you will have read in an earlier posting I won a trip to Auckland with Duffy and Books in Homes.
Tamati and I left home at 5.15am - yawning all the way to Timaru. We hopped on out first flight at 6am to Wellington. After a bit of a wait in Wellington we boarded flight number two and headed to Auckland. We were met at Auckland by Phil, from Books in Homes, who was our guide for the day.
I was one of five teachers who had been chosen for this special opportunity and while we waited for others to arrive we had a great cup of coffee...
After leaving the airport the day past very quickly. We visited the Scholastic warehouse and were blown away by all the work they do - publishing books, the lucky book orders, book fairs and organising the Duffy books for schools.
At the warehouse there are a large number of books and each of us were lucky enough to be able to choose some for our class... I was able to bring back 45 books and give each member of the class a free book.
By the time we made it back to Waimate and our house it was 8.30pm - a long, tiring but fantastic day!
