Visit to Mairehau First Learners Preschool

Today the Senior and Middle School ESOL students visited Mairehau First Learners preschool. We went there to practice our oral language skills by teaching the young children how to make origami cups.

Here are some of our comments about the trip ...

Ji Won "I enjoyed playing with the children because I made new friends, knowing each others name, age and something they liked. The children did not know how to an origami cup. We helped them."







Yusuke "I thought it was hard to ride the little bikes."






Stephanie "I learnt about speaking louder and using a verb at the start of the sentence."






Natsuko "I had to use a big loud voice. I had to help the children."






So Won "I read a story about pirates and they found some treasure."






Samuel "Playing on the playground with the little kids was fun because I made new friends."






Ryan "Helping the little kids was good because I could teach people. I had to talk loud and help them."

Playing at Rohaan's house

On Saturday I went to Rohaan's home. I jumped on the bed and I did a flip. Rohaan's Mum gave me a cookie ice-cream.

My new pen

I went to Warehouse Stationery on Sunday and I got a four colour ballpen. My sister got a blue pen. I wrote a story about Ben 10. He had a battle with Viel Gags.

Kaikoura

In the holidays my family and my friends went to Kaikoura. We ate marshmallows and caught an orange starfish. The starfish was in a puddle.

Swimming lessons

I went to swimming lessons in the holidays. I learnt how to swim on my back.

Church camp

In the holidays I went to church camp. I made a cake. I pushed marshmallows and chocolate into the cake. It was delicious.

Chipmunks

In the holidays I went to Chipmunks. I played a car shooting game. I was the green car and I shot the yellow car. I was the winner.
