Some Camp Follow Ups!

We created mosaics pictures using photos of ourselves at our beautiful school and a lot of photos from camp! For the best effect, click on the pictures to enlarge them to see how they were created. More to come!

More Room One at the Olympics!

Bug Study! Comic Life!

Some students chose to make a comic life about their bug as one of their options within their project. Luci's comic is missing as it was chosen for Principal Pin-up!

Bug Study! Some final projects!

Room one was able to present their findings to their questions in anyway they wanted. They are creative and well thought out! More to come!

Bug Study! Picture in a picture!

Early finishers of our bug study tried out putting a picture in a picture using a green screen and the mac application pages. They look awesome! It was their first go and they all did so well!

More First Thoughts!

I squinted as the dazzling brightness blinded me. The heat felt like I had burnt my hand on a frying pan.

By Olivia J

I accidently fell out of my nice toasty woolly waves onto the Antarctic like floor. I quickly jump up but now as the sky clears it’s like crystal with a ball of flame. It’s like it never existed.

By Zaria

The blazing fire ball shone down on the beautiful flowers while the giant sheep flew in the sky. The flowers grew and the bees buzzed and the sky is blue.

By Kye

I look into a crystal clear sky. The flag is not moving an inch as there is no breeze. I squint trying to look at the big flame ball up in the sky which is as big as the whole universe.

By Guy

It’s kind of chilly like there is still a little frost in the air. I can’t see the person next to me and it is the hottest day in the world. Today was so bright I was getting blinded by the light.

By Monika

In the icy morning I tried to get out of my warm, cosy bed. I take one step and I am freezing all over my body.

By Abby M

An icy breeze flows down my spine and it’s telling me that Winter is coming. I can see the trees swaying as the breeze pushes them.

By Luci

My lower limbs were frozen when I unravelled out of the warmness that I was comfortably in. I panted and my bones were aching.

By Chloe T

This morning is a very bright morning and there is no white in the sky. It is pure blue absolutely beautiful. I feel as if it is a great day to run around outside or do the cross country. I can hear the traffic.

By Jackson

It is extremely bright. There are some white things in the sky. There’s not a sound around and there’s a slight breeze.

By Adam

Sounds of the birds chirping in a cave of icicles. I felt the breath of the breeze on my shoulders and it made me wander if anything fascinating was behind me?

By Dakota

I faced my head up. The firery blur burning through the sky makes me force my eyes away. The sound of angry lions zooming past made a shiver go down my spine.

By Ryan


The rays of warm light makes my face feel like it’s in an oven and makes it burn. I can see the green branches smothered in leaves. They are as still as a statue and there are light green leaves, dark green leaves and faded green leaves.

By Cole

The icy breeze was brushing through my hair, it was like I had gone to Antarctica and summer had just gone. The gleaming, blowing bright light was now desert temperature. It was the only thing in site, the sky was crystal clear.

By Jessie

I was so disappointed that I had to unravel from my cosy, magnificent bed. I was so surprised that this dawn I had amazingly spotted a little rosy candy floss in the sky.

By Nikisha

I was sitting there and a ball of fire was blinding my beautiful eyes. Blood was rushing to my head.

By Abbie D

I’m blinded when I start shifting y lower limbs. I am ecstatically leaking. 

By Zara

I can see the beautiful blue sky. I can see the bright sun blinding me in my eyes. I can feel the breeze coming and going on my skin. I can smell the sap on the tree.

By Hinemoa

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep as my alarm went off. I slopped out of bed, All of a sudden my legs turned to popsicles. They were all cracked and I had to go wake up the fowl beast.

By Jake

Week Six

So much to celebrate this week - sports leaders, PTV and of course school captains! CONGRATULATIONS to Tom and Jessie for being awarded the title of school captains, I know you will do our school proud (videos of their speeches to come); these two have a lot of exciting ideas to develop learning within our school and I cannot wait to see them being put into practice. All the speeches for this were amazing and the finalists should be very proud of themselves for the effort they put in! Room One students are going strength to strength and are showing the school what it means to be a successful role model. Do not be put off if you have not yet been awarded a leadership role as Pahoia School is filled with lots of wonderful opportunities to shine and grow!
