We were reading our map that shows how many people have looked at our blog from other countries and we would love some people to contact us so we can talk to them.
So please leave us your blog address or a message so we can contact you!
Thanks from all of Shaw Block One children at Paeroa Central School, North Island, New Zealand.

                                 Olympic Games 2012

The Olympics Games are being held in London now. Most countries have sports teams there.
We looked at the Olympic rings and found out they show all the colours of the flags in the World.

This is our New Zealand flag with the Southern Cross on it.
Keanu, Karapi, Mia, Eric, Davon, and Stephen-George watched some of the Games on TV.

What sports have you watched at home?
Tell us tomorrow.

                         The Flood July 2012



On Monday we had extraordinarily heavy rain and the Ohinemuri River spilled over it's banks and flooded everything.

Mrs Hack had to leave in a hurry because the river had gone over the road in the Karangahake Gorge otherwise she might have had to stay the night in Paeroa.

Pounamu, Laith, and Teremoana had to go home too because the Criterion Bridge was going to be closed.

Sandy had to stay to look after the rest of the class.

Mrs Hack had to stay home on Tuesday as well but Sandy came to school.

There were 9 kids in class because the roads were still closed.

The floodgates were put up at the Criterion Bridge to stop the water flooding the College and the town.



During the holidays we all had fun and did different things.

Eva went to Hamilton to stay at her friend's farm.
Mia went to the Skate and Leisure Centre and did some cooking.
Stephen-George went to McDonald;s at Thames.
Jagar went to the shop to buy a toy.
Kauri played with his cars outside
Keanu went to Thames to see Ice Age 4.
Taringaroa  read books with his Mum.
Pounamu stayed at Te Teko at his Nan's.
Tyler went to the Tangi.
Davon went to his Nan's at Marton and played on his Uncle Bo's X-Box.
Janey went to the Auckland Airport to pick up somebody.
Kael had a sleepover at her Grandma's and Grandad's and the cat slept on her arm.
Legacy's Dad gave him a haircut.
