media type="custom" key="7802275" align="right" WELCOME TO 4C Thank you very much to all your donations for Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake Appeal. Our class donated 83 dollars to those in need. Our LL topic for the rest of this term is Minibeasts. It will be great if the children can bring some books or photos of these little creatures living in the garden, trees and grass and share them with the class. We are looking forward to our trip to Museum and hopefully will have enough parents helpers to take groups around it. media type="custom" key="8634834" Enjoy looking at our pet shelters we made and few photos from our Assembly. It was AWESOME

 * What an exciting time we had playing soccer with Little Kickers! We played lots of games. My favorite game was "The greedy bear" because we were trying to run as fast as we could and it was fun collecting the cones. Then we played a real game of soccer but I felt sad because I fell over on both knees. We also practised the dribbling and stopping of the ball. This is how you dribble:**
 * -first you need a ball;**
 * -then you put the ball between your feet;**
 * -next you pass the ball to other children;**
 * We also learnt how to play a pirate treasure game. The names of our coaches were betty and Kahu. I had fantastic time and cant wait to do it again.**

 * On 26th of September we had a special visitor-Fire fighter Matt...Thats what we learnt**
 * STORY BY ZACH**
 * What an exciting day we had with fire fighter Matt. We learnt that fire starts from lighters and matches and they are tools and not toys. If we find matches-we give them to adults because they are dangerous for kids. We also looked at the smoke alarms and checked their batteries. You have to change them every year to make sure the fire alarm works. We learnt that smoke is a fire and you shouldnt hide from it..Just get down, get low and get out! We watched a DVD about how fast the fire spreads, but my favourite part was when we had to go under the plastic sheet pretending that it was a real smoke. Thank you fire fighter Matt. We learnt a lot!**

Connor showed us the break dance and a moon walk. ..Mindy read a poem...Rhiley performed a dance with poi pois and Tyla and Broque read a funny story about the peogeon who wanted to drive a bus.
