Computer work at Tomahawk School

On Monday Mrs Odgers showed us how to email and make slideshows as a part of our ICT. We have been sending emails to each other. We like emails because we find out things and we get to write to people. We also like to get comments. So leave us a comment and we will write back.

Stars on Stage

Stars on Stage is about an idea or theme that schools use to make into a dance. It involves exiting songs and dances. You can come watch every second year. They use unusual constumes. We did it this year, we did Goldilocks and the Three Dudes, which is a take off of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In it Goldilocks is turned into a dancing queen. Our whole school of 24 children was involved. We went to Nova. It is a restaurant and o ur whole school got a hot chocolate.

Visit from Amadeo

We had a visit from Amadeo the Otago Museum as part of our Dinosaur Inquiry.
He bought fossils with him. We got to look at fossils of a Plesiosarus paddle, a tooth from a mammoth, shells and a fern.
He showed us how to make a fossilised footprint in mud and made a Tamarasaurus footprint.
It was really great talking to a real Palentologist and getting to hold real fossils.

Our Visit from More FM

This term we had a visit from More FM. They brought Elvis the Pigeon and let him go to fly back to the station. They came because Tamara rang in and said our school was cool. When they came Tamara won a bag of treats and a cool T shirt and we were all excited.

rugby

On Saturday morning at 10 o'clock we have rugby games for 50 minutes. That's 25 minutes a half. We have practice on Wednesdays for one hour long, then our parents come to pick us up. It is a good way to keep fit. The New Zealand rugby team is called the All Blacks. Who is your favourite rugby player and what Rugby team is your favourite?
