In week 7 and 8 HG 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 went individually to the bubble for a special treat. Tom and Claire from the Auckland Museum had come to teach us about what to do in a disaster.

They started off with a really cool video about volcanoes and what kind of volcanoes there are like Fire fountain, lava flow, explosive eruption. They also showed us different kinds of rocks that you can find around volcanoes, like the lava bomb. For a test we had to sort out the rocks with the right volcano.

Next for a little bit of fun and acting Tom and Claire chose someone to be the birthday girl or boy. We imagined we were at the birthday dinner really close to a volcano.  We started to eat our dinner when there was suddenly a shake in the ground – an EARTHQUAKE! The TV then suddenly turned on with breaking news. We had 8-12 hours to evacuate our homes because there was going to be a volcanic ERUPTION! After that we were all put into groups. We had to stuff everything we thought needed into bags. One of the things most teams stuffed into their bags was a pet. That was probably the only thing that you should take, but not in a bag. Some things we packed were water, first aid kit, small blanket, sunglasses and mouth protection.

I interviewed Mharcus. He told me that his favorite part was packing the stuff into the bags. He learnt about the different types of volcanoes. He went to Lake Pupuke for Waterwise, which is a volcano.

On the 13th of June 2019, five teams from Kakapo and Kakariki represented St. Joseph’s in Rippa Rugby. This Rippa Rugby was the 2nd of 3 tournaments this year, which are organised by Harbour Sport. All of the tournaments this year are at Onewa Domain. So far the year 5 and 6 girls and the 5 and 6 boys red have still not been beaten yet this year. All of the other teams are growing together as teams. All the teams are also showing great sportsmanship through all their games.

When the teams arrived, we all headed to our school’s tent, the teams then headed to practice for their games. Some parents and teachers from school helped coach and look after us. Each team played three games, against other schools from the North Shore including St. Leos, Stanley Bay, Devonport, Northcote, Milford, Takapuna.

Liam HG 3 said that Rippa Rugby gets us ready for more sports that we might play later. It is also really fun spending time with friends. It is a good sport just to try.

Thank you to all of the parents and teachers who helped, we couldn’t have done it without.

The two Newbie Flippaball Orca and Sting teams are so far unbeaten this term. 
We have a mix of year 2 and 3 and new and old players across the teams. 
Dedicated coaching from the Dad’s and the Mum managers are helping it along not to mention the vociferous St Joe’s army cheer squad who are ever present. Much fun is had by all. Fingers crossed for the knock out games starting this week. 

The year 4 Dolphins team and the year 5/6 teams are also having a great season

NZ Police recently launched a new non emergency number, 105. We’ve done this to make it easier to get hold of us in the event of non-urgent situations or ‘Things which have Already Happened’, which don’t require Police assistance immediately.

You can call us on 105 for all non emergencies, or you can go online at 105.police.govt.nz to report things like:

• Lost property
• Theft for a public place or car
• Intentional property damage
• Or to get an update or add info to a previous report

In the event of an emergency, always call 111 – Things that are Happening Now.
