Travelwise Celebration

The Travelwise Celebration
 By Taya

 Finally the train stopped and we can hop off. Wondering what I’m talking about, I’ll explain it. So me, my teacher Mrs Campbell, Amani-Grace, Amani-Grace’s mum, Telesia-June, Trey, Alayna, Franki, Lauren, Olivet, Hayley, Riley, Teri-Rose and Leslie on the 9th of November went to a Travelwise Celebration. I will tell you about Travelwise if you don’t know what travelwise is. Travelwise is a program to make schools travel safer, healthier and funner. Anyways let’s get back into the celebration. So me and all the others traveled from Papakura to Britomart. If you know what the Cloud is you will know what I’m talking about, so we went to the Cloud and had a packet of chips and two cookies for morning tea. Yum! The first activity started at 11:00 am but before we left the Cloud to the Maritime Museum, they announced the winners for Gold, Silver and Bronze. But guess what Papakura Central School came Bronze along with heaps of other schools. Time passed by while we were hunting the answers to old things. The one that I liked was the Sir Peter Blake with his red socks because we got a badge for Sir Peter Blake. At 12:00pm it was lunch, average lunch but at 12:00 pm instead of 12:30 pm. After lunch we ended up staying at the Cloud than going to do the next activity because we had to go on the train in a bit. But we still got to watch some awesome BMX bikers. While my group was watching the BMX bikers we got free ice-cream. Being amazed by stunts took off being at the Cloud so after more minutes we had to go back to Papakura. We got back at about 2:45 but I went home at 3:00pm. When I got home I kicked off my shoes and had a longggg nap.

Travelwise Celebration - Friday 9th November 2018 - The Cloud

Travelwise - The Cloud
 11/14/18

 On the 9th Travelwise went to The Cloud in Auckland City by the train station. The Cloud is on a wharf. There were thousands of students! Our school got Bronze - lots of other schools got a Bronze certificate too. If you have been to The Cloud you know what it is like/It is long!. In our group there were 12 people. If my mum didn't come only 6 people would be able to come. The people in our group was Hayley, Franki, Leslie, Teri-Rose, Amani-Grace, Telesia-June, Alayna, Taya, Trey & Olivet. Some of the senior students that went to camp but were in Travelwise were Jasonna, Ellie, Rajbir, Shayla, Jordana & Mia. At The Cloud Morning tea was provided which was 2 biscuits, 1 water bottle & 1 chip packet. Travelwise is free! There was a man on a bike-that you could ride on the road. Travelwise is all about Keeping Kids safe so if you are an adult or parent please slow down around schools. Photos to come...

Roti Making

Today Room 1 made roti with Diya's mum (Diya from Room 12) and Kirpal's mum (from Room 6 Hub). The students split into 2 groups and I sent Ryleigh and Hayley Rotherham over with their chromebooks to take some photos. I think the girls did a great job. Ryleigh thanks very much for creating this slideshow.
PS Everyone loved the potato roti - thanks very much.
