On Wednesday four of the Manawatu Turbo Rugby players came to visit the Senior Team at North Street School.  It was really cool to meet them and ask them questions and play games with them!

Yesterday my uncle was awarded the police bravery award and was the first policeman ever to be awarded.  He received the award because he dragged two children from a burning car risking his own life to save them.  Last night he was on TVNZ's Close Up recieiving the award.  When I watched the programme I felt extremely proud of my uncle.  As you can see in the pitcure he received serious burns to his arms and hands.  Check out the link below to watch the video.

Welcome back to Term 4!  At the moment we are reading "Nickolai of the North" which is about a boy who grows up to be Santa Claus.  The story is set in the North Pole and talks about the Northern Lights.  We are unsure of what the Northern Lights are.  There is a challenge for the first student to find out about what the Northern Lights are.  Can you help us?

CONGRATULATIONS AMELIA!  The first student to research what the Northern Lights are.  This is what she found out:

The Northern Lights is an Aurora of luminous glow in the upper atmosphere and is caused by energetic particles that enter the atmosphere from space.
