Christmas Play at Tokomaru Church

Yesterday we went to the Tokomaru Church to present a Christmas play as part of Religious Education.  As we were walking to the the church, a donkey led us across the road!  We all had a part in the play and we read our lines well and sung 'Away in a Manger'.

A special thank you to our RE teachers who organised this with us. Christmas Play on PhotoPeach

Moto-X - Tyler

Yesterday, Corey and I went to Moto-X lessons.  We were doing jumping.  I did a big jump over the hill and went up a really big hill.  Corey did ten jumps and I did about fifteen.  We had fun going over the hills and the paddock.

Why do some lizards shed their skin?

Are there other creatures that shed their skin?

My Dad's Trip to Antarctica - Shayde

Shayde's dad is in Antarctica so he has written a stroy about his exciting adventure!

My dad went to Antarctica. He went on a c17 plane. My dad is staying at McMurdo base which is  an American  Base. He took pictures of  himself in  the  snow and one is  of penguins.  There were 3  penguins in the photo  and an Observation tube and  Pressure Ridge. The Observation tube goes under the ice, but only one person can go down in it at a time.

The clip below is a Google Earth tour of some parts of Antarctica: I wonder what it would be like under the ice?

Do you have any questions that you would like to ask Shayde's dad about Antarctica?
