Ride of the Katipo Epilogue 4

EPILOGUE

Jack stood out side the rebuilt church with the old vicar and a bucket of motorcycle polisher. “It looks good Jack. Well better than it did,” chuckled the vicar. It had been 9 months since the fire at Shipwreck Bay.

Jack was polishing his old friend because he was taking it down to Manuka flats with his blood red bandana and his oil skin coat to show all his mates. "Are you going to walk it down or ride it?"
"What do you think?” said Jack. Roar!!!!!

S.S.S. (Super Sonic Spacesuit)

The S.S.S., a supersonic spacesuit that has all the tools you need to have fun and be safe in space. Rocket shoes are included to move freely in space without a heavy jetpack.
Each arm is has 3 back up rockets that will last 4 Earth hours each. 2 oxygen tanks are strapped to the back of your suite. Your ups are connected to your left leg. Video cameras are attached to the right side of your space helmet and don't forget the power gloves. Each tool works together in different ways like the power gloves work really well with the ups. Video cameras work with the rocket shoes. The light materials can absorb solar and lunar energy.
This was a great idea come true. Available all colours and sizes known to man.
$4.40 at the Warehouse, Hastings.

Environmental Care Code

We created symbols for each part of the Environmental Care Code. It helped us to understand how we need to act as visitors to a National Park.
Only eleven more days to camp!

Something I was pleased with...

Fish for Dinner

The Gruffalos performed their play "Fish for Dinner". They are learning to act with expression and clear voices. I am impressed with their timing and teamwork.

They would love any comments giving feedback on their performance :)

Maori Myth Art

Can you spot Maui and the Sun, The Fish of Maui, The Fisherman's Tale and the Legend of Te Mata?

Fruit Shop Profit

The Fractals applied their knowledge of rounding to solve these problems involving money. They really extended their thinking to round to the nearest $1 000.
Rounding is useful when you want a quick estimate.
