My last day

Hi my name Jasmine and it is my last day of the term. I will not be coming back and I will miss the school very much. I have been here for two years and really enjoyed myself.
The teachers here are great I will miss them especially. I will also miss the children - they are great friends and very sporty.
This school has been very inspiring and I have learnt a lot the sports gear is awesome and the art supplies... well just don't get me started.
Thank you!

Painting Kurus

Team Toroa has been learning how to blend on backgrounds and shade on korus. We have been learning to draw korus and coloring them in, by blending and shading. Our korus represent our individual families. It has been fun painting. We feel very proud of what we have accomplished, because it is our try without practice.

The Earthquake Strikes Again

Another Earthquake has hit a lot of buildings in Christchurch City Centre and it has caused a lot of damage. Even half of the Christchurch City people were sleeping in a tent with their pillows and quilt on the flat ground. Dorie school felt the aftershock during the lunch time while everyone was inside having their lunch. Some of the students had their first experience in the Earthquake. It was good that we were all together because it was easy to get everyone into a safe place.
