Vintage Photos

In Room 9, we have been looking at the story of Guy Fawkes. We wrote letters to Lord Monteagle and tried to make them look old-fashioned. After we had done this we used and IPad app to make photos of ourselves to look vintage like our letters.

Kowhai are making Powerpoint presentations!

We have learnt how to present our information on New Zealand birds, in Powerpoint. We learnt lots of skills to make our presentations interesting and successful. Read our comments!

More riddles to Solve!

What am I?

Riddle 1
I can sizzle like bacon,
I am made with an egg,
I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole.


Riddle 2
No legs have I to dance,
No lungs have I to breathe,
No life have I to live or die
And yet I do all three.

Riddle 3
You walk into the forest and get me,
You sit down to look for me but can't find me,
You get up and leave with me.

Riddle 4
Only one colour, but not one size,
Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies,
Present in sun, but not in rain,
Doing no harm, and feeling no pain.

Riddle 5
Weight in my belly,
Trees on my back,
Nails in my ribs,
Feet I do lack.
