I am going to bring a skateboard to wheels day. I will bring it in the car. It is a Ben Ten one. I can skate on it. I can do a trick on my Ben Ten one. I did one today. I showed my Mum my skateboard trick. my Mum called "Wait up Ngakau! Lets get Dad right now!"
I raced past Mum. "I will beat you Mum!"
And I did.

Room 1's shared letter to Christchurch

Dear Christchurch,
We are very sorry that you had an earthquake and lots of buildings got knocked over. We hope you have lots of fresh water to drink and you aren’t drinking yucky water from the tap. We’re glad no-one died in the earthquake. We hope you have lots of food. At our school we are having a pyjama day and coin trail to help raise money for you. Some families in our class have been setting up our survival kit in case we have an earthquake too. We feel really sad about the schools that have been damaged because the kids aren’t at school learning like us. We have been learning about the Christchurch earthquake and writing stories to try and understand what happened. We are thinking of you and hope we can raise lots of money for you. Look after each other.
From Room 1 Superkids.
