Museum Trip

Did you hear that on the fourth of August the year five students went to the Auckland museum? The kids all enjoyed it and learnt new things about ancient stuff. The year fives saw cool things like seeing old Auckland in the 1860's. The students also saw dinosaur bones, a big airplane and other sorts of old stuff. They did an activity sheet at the museum. It was at the old Auckland, 1860's! The students saw how chess looked like back in the day- it was really weird! Did you know that people used to ride horses to and from instead of going by car? The museum is a great place to visit if you want to learn about the past.

Being a good Digital Citizen.

At Papatoetoe East School we all are digital citizens because we use computers. Our school uses a website called Hector's World to learn about being safe online. Hector's World helps us kids learn about cybersafety on the internet and what to do when you come across an unwanted website. Hector's World helps kids so they are safe and are not using their personal details on websites. Some websites are useful and some are hoaxes. Hoax means stuff that is fiction and not true. Some websites can put viruses on your computer and they are dangerous. Hector's World is a good website for kids to use and it is also safe for kids.

The Most Outrageous Rides Ever!

Wow! What I've heard from the people is that Rainbow End rides are the best rides outrageous rides in New Zealand. Take the Roller-coaster - when you look down all you can see is dots and spots. Take the Fearfall. . . . . when you fall you always get butterflies and you just want to crack up laughing. Gold-rush: it is very scary - as scary as a horror movie. When you go on the Log Flume it's just like a ride on paradise.
