Leaking Roof!

What an interesting start to the day today.  One of the pipes in the roof broke and there was a bit of a wet mess!  The plumber was able to get things fixed, getting a little wet himself along the way.  Once things dry out we will be able to get the hole in the roof fixed too. Kakano 2 wrote some stories about what they saw and experienced.






I  was  the  second  one  in  class  and  I  saw  water  leaking. 

I  thought  a  lot  of  water  would  wash  us  away  but  no.  Mr 

Richard  fixed  it but we  had  to  use  the  little  kids  toilet. 

It  was  still leaking  but  Mr  Richard  fixed  it  some  more 

and  it  was  the  same.

My  school  roof  was  leaking  and  the  plumber  came  to  fix  the  roof.  For  some  seconds  the  roof  stopped  leaking.  Our  Harold  pictures  were  wet  but  it’s  ok  because  the  sun  can  dry  it.

By  Marc



In  the  morning  I  got  to  school  and  a  leak  was  in  the  roof.  The  plumber  was  here  at  school.  It  was  dripping  lots  of  drips.  The  wall  was  soggy.  It  was  easy  to  take  out  the  roof  because  it  was  wet  and  soggy.  Some  of  the  pictures  got  ruined  because  of  the  dripping.

We  had  a  leak  in  our  classroom  at  school.  Then  a  plumber  man  came  and  fixed  the  pipes.  When  he  was  finished  our  roof  had  a  big  hole  in  it.

By  Francika



Today  the  roof  leaked  and  a  little  got  removed.  Some  Harold  pictures  got  wet  like  Mason’s  and  Zoe’s.  Then  the  plumber  climbed  the  ladder  and  took  the  pipe  out.  Then  he  put  it  back  and  got  the  rubbish  bin  and  put  it  under  the  leak.  Then  he  went  to  fix  the  pipe  again.  The  leak  stopped  and  a  few  moments  later  the  tap  made  a  little  bit  of  water  come  out.

By  Alex



Today  the  pipe  broke  and  the  water  came  out  of  the  roof.  The  roof  came  apart  and  the  water  dropped  and  dropped.  The  water  came  out  and  the  roof  pipe  broke.

This  morning  we  had  a  little  excitement.  The  roof  fell  off!!!!!  Oh  no!  It  was  so  cool  to  watch.  But  we  had  to stay  right  away  from  it.  For  the  morning  it  was  a  little  bit  different  but  amazing.  I  was  shocked.  I  seriously  loved  it.  I  thought  there  was  an  owl  up  there  in  the  roof.  We  had  a  lot  of  towels  on  the  ground.  On  the  mat  I  kept  looking  back  at  the  roof.

By  Lauren



I  see  a  big  bubble  in  the  roof!  I  was  so  worried  and  there  were  a  lot  of  towels  on  the  floor.  When  the  plumber  came  he  pulled  the  roof  off  the  ceiling.  The  plumber  turned  the  tap  on.  The  water  went  everywhere  when  the  plumber  fixed  the  roof.

By  Katie



Our  roof  got  some  water  and  some  water  fell  on  the  ground.  When  it  hit  the  ground  it  touched  the  towels.  Some  people  fixed  the  roof  and  the  pipe.  Some  people  touched  the  water.

By  Joachim



One  day  at  school  we  had  a  leak  in  our  class  at  night.  So  a  man  came  and  fixed  it  today  and  there  was  water  dripping.  So  the  man  put  a  rubbish  bin  where  it  was  dripping  from  the  hole.  We  had  to  stay  away.

By  Christian



This  morning  the  roof  was  broken  and  the  roof!!!!!  was  so  weird!  Two  boys  came  in  and  technically  a  bit  of  the  roof!  fell!  on  me!  So  I  quickly  ran.  I  was  running  and  I  banged  my  head.  I  was  sad  but  I  was  still  scared  so  I  still  ran  very  fast!  Water  was  spilling  out  and  we  got  a  rubbish  bin  to  catch  the  water  in.

By  Isbaella



In  the  morning  when  I  came  to  school,  there  were  ten  towels  on  the  floor.  Then  a  man  came  into  our  classroom  with  a  ladder.  He  pulled  the  roof  off  and  made  a  huge  mess.  Me  and  Savannah  were  scared  because  he  was  making  a  big  hole  and  a  little  hole.  The  holes  looked  like  flowers.  The  man  took  the  rubbish  out  of  the  rubbish  bin.  He  took  the  rubbish  bin  to  the  holes  and  he  broke  the  wire.  Water  splashed  into  the  bin  and  how  he  got  up  there  was  the  ladder.

By  Elladee



At  school  today  the  roof  was  soggy  and  wet.  I  saw  towels  on  the  sliding  door.  But  then  the  plumber  man  came  in  with  a  ladder.  He  put  the  ladder  on  to  the  roof.  First  he  broke  pieces  of  the  roof  and  threw  the  pieces  on  the  floor.  I  was  scared  because  maybe  the  class  could  fall  apart  and  I  was  shocked.

By  Zoe



Today  something  crazy  happened  on  our  roof.  The  water  pipe  broke  and  the  plumber  tried  to  fix  it  and  he  got  all  wet.  Now  we  have  a  giant  hole  in  our  roof.  When  I  got  here  I  saw  ten  towels.  At  writing  time  I  saw  Mr  Macmillan  saw  the  hole.

By  Savannah



The  hole  dripped  and  dripped.  It  did  not  stop.  At  last  it  stopped.  The  plumber  came  and  then  when  he  left  it  was  good.

By  Kellan



This  is  the  day  of  the  broken  pipes  and  toilets.  The  plumber  fixed  the  pipes  but  the  roof  is  still  broken.  He  thinks  it  would  be  okay  that  it  is  broken.  The  plumber  went  to  do  his  job  and  after  this  job  he  can  rest.

By  Dominic



When  I  came  in  the  ranch  slider  Braxton  said  to  come  in  the  class  because  I  was  still  outside  getting  my  things  in  my  cubbyhole.  Then  when  I  saw  it  I  didn’t  really  care.  Then  later  on  the  plumber  took  some  of  the  wet  pieces  off  and  I  was  so  scared  that  I  hid  under  the  table  because  I  thought  it  would  collapse!  When I  saw  the  plumber  working  there,  I  saw  a  lot  of  water  coming  out  and  going  in  the  bin.

By  Zaneia



The  roof  was  leaking  and  the  plumber  was  fixing  the  roof.  The  kids  were  looking  at  the  roof  and  the  water  got  on  my  arm.  The  plumber  already  fixed  the  pipe.

By  Vincent



Today,  this  morning,  we  saw  the  roof  leaked.  The  plumber  removed  the  roof  and  some  pictures  of  Harold  got  wet,  like  mine.  So  the  longer  it  leaked  the  stronger  the  water  got.  Then  it  got  so  strong  that  it  reached  people  and  got  our  backs  wet.  Then  after  we  finished  our  structured  literacy  we  went  out.  It  was  leaking  but  after  a  while  it  got  fixed.

Term 4 Week 5

Week 5 already! Time is flying by this term. After a few busy weeks, this week is relatively quiet. It has been great to see so many of you remember your hats every day so that you can play outside. Remember to keep bringing your water bottles, filled with water, as our school fountains are sealed off with Level 2 restrictions.


This week:

Literacy: Structure - how is the book/story made up (Beginning / middle / end). You can help by asking simple questions about books that you read together “What happened at the beginning of the story?” “What happened next?” “Then what happened?” “What happened last?”. This will also help with their understanding of the story

Numeracy: We will be focussing on counting on, or back, from any number in tens e.g. 43 + 30 = 43...53, 63, 73

Religious Education: We are looking at how God is fair and just to everyone, and wants us to live like that too.
