Huia 1 – Our Story:

Hola! We are the students from The Gardens School. Our class is called Huia 1. A huia is a native New Zealand bird.

Some of you might have spoken to us on Skype. We wanted to speak with all you wonderful students so we thought we could write down a blog about our school, the students, the teachers and what we do at home and school.

We start school at 8.50am in the morning and we finish school at 2.50 in the afternoon. When the bell rings for class time we get ready for the teacher to come, so what we do to make the teacher smile is we get our books ready and start reading or finishing off our work. Sometimes we are a bit cheeky (a little bit naughty) and start whispering to our friends. After the teacher has marked the roll (attendance) we go to maths class. We have 4 maths groups in different classes.

In our class we have lots of things on our wall - pictures, research, and a little bit about us. We also learn Spanish. We might not be as good as you because we have just started learning Spanish. We learn how to introduce ourselves, to say good bye, and hola! Not forgetting how to ask for lollies when you need them.

So what do you do at school? We wish we could come and visit you in your school. We would love to hear from you!

Hasta La Vista! ’Bye, Hope to hear from you.
