Our Blog



We are a year 5/6 (9-10 year olds) class from Bairds Mainfreight Primary School in Auckland, NZ.

You can see some of our learning that took place in Room 12 in 2010 and 2011.

NB: I have moved to a new school now so this blog is no longer active. You are still welcome to comment and look at the great fun we had over the past two years.

Thank you for all the lovely comments :)

Jayden's cultural performance

Video taken by Mrs Wilson in Room 9
Here I am introducing the Cook Island Cultural group.
Who the? What the ,where the , yes ow yeah what is it? It is the culture festival i totally forgot about it. Did you know that it is tonight? That is so boring, no it is not! The cultural festival is about sharing your tradition with others like Samoa,Tonga,Fiji,Tahiti and Hawaii that brings us together and that is a symbol of life and that's the best thing you can ever have.




cutural festival

i think that cultural groups are a great way to interact with people and to learn about other cultures i bet that our cultural performance is going to be the best

St clair - by Emma

s
I think St Clair is really nice (more than before) and I think that it has got more colour. I think that Esplanade is really a nice place. I like how its set. I would go to the beach and I would visit bedford street. I really like your post cards. It makes me want to go to the beach.

wow st clair


I think that St Clair is a great place to go because of the beaches and schools.
The things that look interesting are the before and after photos and the history
and the shopping centers
If I visited I would go to the beaches and then I would go to
the shop and get the 50 cent lollies.
Yes i haven't even been there and I all ready love the place.

St Clair - by Zanitha


What i can see about St Clair is that they have alot of lovely cafes and i love seeing heaps of cafes.
I think that the beach is very interesting to hang out at because I can see that st clair's beach is very calm.
If I would go to st clair to visit,the first place i'd go to is ....
St Clair's school because it looks very lovely.
yes, St Clair's post cards make me very interested and I think that my class will agree.

More postcards


i looked at the post card with the lifesavers. In the past they tied the rope to the life-savers but
now they get in a motor boat and rescue people.
i like the esplanade and the cafe and bars
are cool.
If i were there i would explore their neighbourhood.

It sounds like the beach is a cool place to go to because I love to go to the beach.

Beach
St Clair school
Shops.
I am really interested now that i have seen the post-cards. I think My class will agree too.

Now there are lots of shops at the beach and the houses are new and fancy. But before there were not many shops at the beach - just houses
The houses were old and made of wood.
