Recycle and Energy

1.     One of the ways we save power is by using a heat transfer to transfer heat.

2.
We also have a compost bin that we put our food scraps in.

3.Another way we help the the environment is we use a recycle bin so glass and paper can be recycled.




4. We also use energy efficient bulbs in our lights.


5.We have a solar panel on our roof so it uses the sun to power our  home.

Library Facilities

1. One of the great thing that the library has it internet so you can go to the library and use the computers there. There is also free internet for kids home work so if you need to get your home work done you can go to the library to do it.

2. Another one of the great services is the inter loan which is if the library does not have a book you would like then they will get it from another library like auckland.

3. There is also a teen book club it is on Thursdays it is once every month and is from 4pm till 5pm and is at the Greerton library  and you need to bring your library card. You get a snack as you arrive and then you will do a quiz and some games if you would like you can bring a friend who loves books the more the merrier.
SEE YOU THERE!!!   
4. One of the other  things the library had to offer is the information request and that is when you go and get a form fill it out and then they will find the information for you then you can go and read the books that they give to you. You also can ask them and they will help you find it with you.

5. One of the coolest things you can do is you can ask the library to purchase a book and all you have to do is go get a form and fill it out then they may or may not get that book you asked for

The Cross Country Run

Yesterday we had cross country the whole run was 3 km long and it was so tiring.  I came 40th out of about 250 kids. Before the race I was quite nervous but after I felt so tired and I could barely walk and I kept falling over. At the start it was a bit crowded and after a while it started to spread out.

My Exhibition Reveiw

Today I went to the Tauranga art gallery to review an exhibition called The State of the House and it was painted by a lady called Raye Catran and was about how house are architecturally similar but they all show there personalities through the small differences like trampolines or boats and things like that. Raye Catran grew up in Tauranga and then went and studied in Auckland. My favorite painting was a painting called Cul de Sac because the different houses reminded me of some of my friends and families houses like one of the houses looked like my house because in its back yard there was a tramp and a slide and another one that reminded me of my friends house Jon and Jackie because it had a pizza over and a table out side.
The paintings were all painted between 2008-2013.
With her artwork she always puts things that are kiwi-ana in them so you know ti is from NZ
