Hi everyone!
Hope my big sister is treating you well. I’d try to do something about it if she wasn’t but she is my older sister and would probably sit on me. I heard it’s cold and snowing!! Not so much of that for me here. It has been over 30degrees in London and in Spain last week over 40!!!
Hope you’re all well.
Hoani
(Marama’s little brother that stayed at her place for longer than both he or she would have liked. Thanks Marama!)
Hello Hoani,
Yep I do remember you and Marama is treating us OK but it could be better just joking she is all good! Well I think Marama has been telling you some porkies we have had a few snowfalls but it has never set and it is not that cold here! I don’t think that I will ever be able cope with the heat of the day! My sister worked in London for a few months and now she is in Aussy.
I think Marama has been lonely without you!!! Or maybe she is enjoying it!.
See ya,
Love Abbey
Hi! how are you? long time no see! we have all missed your company!!!!! hehehheheheheh I can still remember you hopping out of bed at LUNCH time!!!!! and you telling the boys you played WAR GAMES they were thrilled! they were talking about it for the whole day! I hope you are well yours sincerely Millie! ;P
Bonjour! (equals “hello”) from Montreal, Canada. We are visiting Julia, Ken and Thomas in their new apartment. After playing at the park with Joaquin this morning, Tom is asleep. Since there is no garden at the apartments, Tom plays at the same park every morning, and has made a friend already. Then he goes home for lunch and a sleep, and plays at a different park in the afternoon. So life is pretty neat here for him. It’s summer and schools are all on holidays. There are big groups of kids in the park at summer camps, playing sport, playing in the big fountains, at swimming lessons, playing tennis, riding bikes, skating etc. Tom likes to watch the squirrels at the park. They are pretty tame but not tame enough to be caught. The apartment is on the third floor. The view out the window is the top of some tall trees. The apartment building has an old fashioned lift where you have to open a door, then slide a metal concertina grille open before you step in. Works OK though.
Tom’s favourite book at the moment is “Tracteurs, autos et camions” – guess what, he likes the tractor page best.
We’ll have to see if we can follow Thomas’s instructions for making the prints here…
Au Revoir
Margie, Julia, Thomas, Ken, and Tony
Hi guys!!!!
Thanks for leaving a comment, it is really cool to see that you have visited our site again! We have been doing funny nonsense poems this week!! Go into my e-portfolio and see mine it is not very exciting though! Well, Tom sounds like a box of happiness you must be getting sick of going to the parks all of the time! Wait till he is doing all of those things it won’t be long he has already grown up so much. You are very lucky that you DON’T have a squirrel or it will be living in the apartment with you!! All little boys at his age seem to like tractors it is very strange it must be a boy thing! My Dad still likes them I guess that he thinks he’s still a little boy he keeps reminding me this sometimes! And it gets rather annoying,
Well I don’t really have much more to say,
Hope everything is going well,
And I hope you keep visiting our site and leaving comments,
See ya, Love Abbey
P.S I love your use of language!!! <3
Friday the 11th of June
Mrs Gordon came to teach us art. First we had to bring a card board box. Next you open both sides and then cut the flaps. Now you need a bit of hard card. Now that you have your card put it in front of you. Get some p.v.a glue and start to glue any thing on like faces and pictures and even random shapes. Now you get a piece of paper and get some crayons and put the paper on top of the print and shade it. Ok. This is the last step. You get a piece of laminating paper and put ink on it and then you get a roller and put it in and roll it around until it makes a cracking noise and then you get a piece of paper and also a sponge. Make the sponge wet and squeeze the water out of it. Make the paper wet with the sponge and put the print onto the wet piece of paper and then get one more roller and roll on the paper – HARD. Take the print off carefully and you have got yourself a print.
Warning – if you roll too hard the paper will be stuck to the print.
Mrs Gordon came on Friday. We made coligraphs out of cardboard cereal boxes. First we wrote a poem called Only One Me. Then we cut all the flaps off the boxes and made mini coligraphs out of them. Then Mrs Gordon gave each of us a piece of cardboard and we 3D portraits with our cereal boxes. We glued them with PVA. After the glue dried we made rubbings with them. Then we got some sponges and wet a A4 piece of paper. Next we got the Rollers out and rolled some colored ink onto the portrait. We then got the print and put it face down on the blank, slightly wet piece of paper. Then we got a clean roller and rolled them so the print would come off on the paper, or you can put a newspaper over it and stamp on it with your feet. The best part was making the portraits.
I guess I do live in a strange and foreign land (Palmerston North!). I enjoyed reading your excuses for not doing homework, though I do wonder if your parents would agree with them?!
Hi!!
I thought I had better check out this website and see what ya’ll up to…and wow haven’t you been busy. Its great to have a look and get some ideas for my classes blog and stuff. You kids are so lucky to have Marama – she’s very clever
Keep up the great work….don’t forget to make those cookies for your lovely teacher…and most important don’t forget that if there are any cookies left over that I LOVE cookies….hehe
Ciao for now
Stacey (aka Miss B)
Hello (Aunty Stacey) hehehe,
Yes it is very cool and we are very lucky to have Marama here to help us with lots of different kinds of technology. Hey I didn’t know that we made cookies!! But I do know that you like biscuits.
See ya sometime,
Love Abz
Hey guys!
Just thought I would drop in and say high and sign the guest book, seeing as how I was browsing around the website (which, by the way, looks fantastic!). The sand pit looks really cool and how lucky you all are to have it. I remeber when I was at Puke my friends and I used to play in the old long jump pit. But that got boring after a few minutes so we would refer to playing in mud slides or building swings (which used to break!) or huts… hmmm good times, good times.
Oh, just thought i would ask… who has my old desk now? Its got the stickers of……. wait for it…… horses on it (of course!) and I think I may have even carved pictures of my horses (lily and sam perhaps??) into it at some stage eeeeek. Which is not cool! Oh, and my name is on the bottom of it. Gosh, the things we used to get up to! Vandalising is not advised guys, so please don’t follow in mine or my friends footsteps!
Well i don’t really know what else to say, except for keep up with the good work. Things really are looking awesome and you guys certainly look like you love school! I know that I loved my primary days at puke the best of all! The memories I share with my friends will stay with me forever.
So I’m going to go now because I’m just starting to blabber and I will leave you with one of my favourite quotes from my favourite book off all time, “Have You Seen The Rabbit?” by nzer Richard Ellis.
See you all around sometime,
Kendra
“In the river of life there is the waka that can be paddled and steered and get you to where you want and need to go (but it does take hard work) and the log, that you just sit on and go where the current takes you. – Do you have the stuff to get off the log and start paddling your own waka? “– Think about it.
P.S. Please excuse my errors. I do proof read more than once, but I always miss something!
hey Kendra,
Thanks for visiting our site, I am not sure that I have got your old desk but Peita’s has got it I think. I have got Teresa’s old desk and Alana’s. And yes vandalizing is a bad thing (ttttttt)!!!!
We ever have mud slides anymore but we do have a sandpit to play in that is really cool!!
Don’t have much to say but keep visiting our site because we do have different stuff on it every week,
see ya sometime again,
Love Abz
P.S was cool seeing you last weekend!!! very good 4-wheeler driver up very slippery hills!!!!
Buenos dias everyone.
Congratulations on all the art you have put up on your websites.
I’m looking forward to seeing the newly painted buildings, landscaping and sandpit later this year.
Today I am in Vernon, Texas, near the Panhandle of Texas. Looking on a map, Texas has a shape with a handle in the north west. It’s a very dry, hot place in summer here, so you need special plants to survive. Today I have a 3 hour drive and then fly from DFW to AVL. Every airport in the world has it’s own 3 letter airport code. Search on “airport codes” to see where DFW and AVL are.
If you go to the Citizen Times Asheville website – this is the town we live in (www.citizen-times.com), you can see a video and photos of a black bear that was in the downtown area yesterday (May 26th). Somehow he found a crab apple tree. How did he know it was there? Bears are a hot topic of conversation as there are more bears living in our town now, and they can damage your property, eat your fruit off your trees, and even attack if you or your dog gets between mother and cub.
There is a group of 20 wild turkey hens in our street. One came by the office window the other day with 10 newly hatched chicks. Now, 20 x 10 = I can’t imagine that many turkeys in our street. Maybe the foxes, coyotes and cats will reduce the numbers.
Angela and Richard’s baby is due any day.
Adios, Margie
Hi Guys,
Noah, Emily and I have just been having a look at the photos of the painting of the old school building and the sandpit – how exciting!! I can’t believe that the sandpit is really there and it looks so good – you must be having such fun playing in it. Noah does miss having his own sandpit, but there is one up at the school in the junior area, so we can go up and use it – but not quite the same as having one in your deck hey? Noah was a bit sad to see the big tree come down in ‘his house’ as he called it – but I explained that there would be so much more light and sun in the house… we are thinking that if we are able to move to a down stairs apartment in August with a little backyard (tiny by Puke standards) we might be able to make Noah and Emily a little cubby under the one tree that is in the corner of the courtyard.
It is pouring down with rain right now – which is supposedly unusual for this time of year – we should be in our ‘hot/dry season’ where it doesn’t rain at all, but it seems that it wants to rain quite a bit. The ‘rainy season’ isn’t supposed to start until June when it will rain basically every day until August – but hopefully not all day – just hard bursts of rain and then sunshine in between.
Well I wanted to write more, but there is a distinctly bad smell coming from Emily’s direction and I must go and inspect her nappy !
We miss you guys and I promise to get on with that movie very soon
I already have some footage of around Bingham, I just have to get out into the streets of Addis and take some photos and film out there.
Those of you who are on facebook should check out the photos I put on the other day of Emily and Noah with their faces painted – so cute!!
Oh – Noah did ask if the easter chocolates you made were for him???? I am sure next time they could be shipped our way!
Much, much love from all of us Piries
Hi all at Puke School from Margie – Lochy, Abbey and Thomas’s auntie. This is great, I am up early at my hotel in Bessemer, Alabama, USA, on the other side of the world, catching up with everything you guys are doing at school. The posts are really fun to read. Sorry some of the fish have died! Setting goals in writing looks like a great idea, you can’t avoid them. Here’s mine for today – take even better care to see ALL the street signs when I am driving. There is such a forest of signs in the towns for speed, schools, highway turnoffs, stop, give way, etc, and it’s easy to miss one in a strange place. Today I pick up Tony at Atlanta Airport . Interesting fact: Atlanta is the busiest airport in the world. It has 6 terminals connected by an underground train from the main terminal, or you can walk in the underground tunnel 1.5 km from Terminal A to Terminal E . The sixth terminal is called Terminal T. Each Terminal has about 50 gates. It’s funny being in a place where there are so many people, but you don’t know anybody. I love Taihape! and especially I love Pukeokahu.
Cheers, Margie
Hey Margie,
How are you?
So good to here from you, our new principal Marama is very clever on computers and she has made a great big Pukeokahu school website. It is very cool because we each have our own little website, have a look at mine, click on my name on the right hand side.
Anyway how’s America?? WOW!! And I thought Auckland Airport has huge. I have seen recent photos of Daisy, she is so cute, when’s the other baby due? Must be close!
That bike day was a real tester for me. I did know what they meant but while I was going around the course maybe I didn’t think about it. But I still got the best result. I won two prizes.Not much else to say but please keep visiting our website because we update it every week.
See ya,
Love Abbey
Hi Piries
We’ve got painters here to paint the old school. One of them is the winter tournament coach for soccer.
Did I mention that its Jonny’s birthday today. Thinking about birthdays its Thomas’s birthday in seven days.

Hey Mr Pirie, Becks, Noah & Emily

(Abbey) Hello missing you guys so much! Went on facebook and saw you Becks with an Ethiopian girl, very pretty. Had great holidays it was Birthday Millie’s so we had a sleepover! It was very very fun!

(Abbey) It is nearly lunchtime, hey but thank you for the postcard, was very cool!!!
See ya,
Love Abbey and Millie
Congratulations Marama and kids on letting us all know what a great school you have in Pukeokahu. Marama and Cody visited me last year here in Tokyo. Now instead of thousands of people and lots of buildings, there are thousands of sheep and lots of great scenery. I will have to visit Pukeokahu one day, in the meantime I can see what you are doing online.
Thank you for that Leo Schumacher (Marama’s uncle)

Kia Ora Guten Tag from Hamburg, Germany. Ramona and I wish Puke school all the best for 2010.

Hi all you hard working students,
What you are doing on the website is great. It is so nice being able to read what you are doing. The fish sound great, what school has more pet fish than students!
My school is very different over here, the school has 120 staff and I almost have all of their names worked out. I have started teaching the Grade 5′s PE and it is very nice doing some actual teaching. My days are currently spent meeting with teachers, watching teachers teach, learning Amharic and processing enrolments (looking at applications from potential new students) for the next year.
Each Saturday I go for a big run up in the hills next to the city. While I am out running I get challenged to races by old ladies carrying packs and I now realise that I didn’t make you guys work hard enough during the Ethiopian Experience. These little old ladies are carrying packs of wood weighing around 100kg’s about 20 km (take it to the city to sell) then they turn around and walk 20 km home everyday!
The thing that has surprised us the most about being here is the weather, we actually get cold. The climate is great for growing vegetables and I have put in a nice vegetable garden next to our apartment. We are able to grow the same sorts of things as you can grow during summer in Pukeokahu.
Hope that the working bee went well and that the new sandpit is getting lots of use,
Malcolm
Hi Mr Pirie
What are you doing right now? Me and Jonny are buddies in the fish thing so we have the same kind of fish. The working bzzzzzzzzzzz has been postponed, so we don’t have the sandpit yet. What a bummer! It is good to see you commenting us instead of Becks all the time!
From Lochy.
Dear Mr Pirie
Sadly me and Abbey’s fish all died. Today one of Marama and Codey’s fish died and I had to fish it out. It was sad. Yesterday was Bustling Bikes and Lochy said that it was busting bikes and that we go around busting bikes. It was really fun because Marama got her bike out and did it with us. We all biked up the road and onto the gravel road a little way. Papa got to ride in the police car with Constable Marks. All the boys pretended that Papa was being taken away to the police station because she had been naughty
and they were biking behind and saving her from the police.
It was funny seeing them going hard out down the hill.
see ya soon millie
Hi Mr Pirie
We have 13 fish and there are red eyed tetras that are Thomas’ and mine. There are Black Widow Tetras. They are Max, Lochy and Jonny’s. The neon tetras are Marama and Codey’s. At the trek I rode on both days of the trek. I rode through the river on my pony. My pony had to swim and the water came up to my thighs. It was fun.
Hi Noah,
How are you big boy? I am fine. Logan, your friend, is just starting school. How old are you? I will be 10 in September (six months away). Are you having fun in Ethiopia? Im having fun back here in Pukeokahu. Do you know anyone well in Ethiopia? Thomas is moving out and staying in our hut until he knows where he is going. My family just got a thing called a nintendo wii. You plug it into the tv like a playstation. Do you play with the kids in Ethiopia?
Have fun, from your friend Lochy.
Ata marie. Hows it going Big boy Noah and little Emily? Is she still little?
Ata marie Mr Pirie and Rebecca. Hope you are both happy chappies. We have 14 fish and 4 snails. Ahi ahi marie(even if it is not in the right place).
Bye bye Peita
Hi Becks
Guess what we have we have 13 fish they are so small. Logan is at school now but he is only school visiting. you know the presents that you gave us I want to thank you for them. you’re the best people in the world
from Thomas
Hi Noah
I am visiting school today. I went to the trek at Mangaohane. I played with Felix. It was fun. I have got some Ben Ten things. I have a watch and a book.
From Logan
Hello Mr Pirie, Becks, Noah and Emily
My dog is good but he has visited Marama 2 times. Logan is coming to school tomorrow again in the morning at 9 o’clock. I am getting good at reading and maths. My sister is nearly coming to school.
From Papa
Hi Pukeokahu children, I have a voki that I would like to embed in my Edublog, can one of you provide some assistance/guidance on how to do this? Thank you, Mr Orr, Koputaroa School.
Dear Puke Students,
Wow – looks and sounds like you guys have been really busy! Of course it sounds like you all did well at the athletics you sporty bunch! Well done Lochy on your first place in the 1500m – we are looking forward to hearing how you do at Hunterville. Peita I am very impressed with your Maori – well done on using it in your letter to me. I am also learning a new language – Amharic – it is really hard and I am finding it very difficult. I am having 4 lessons a week with my teacher and she is lovely – she always encourages me, but sometimes I am feeling like I am learning really slowly. Millie and Abbey we are really missing you as well – Noah and Emily would love to bounce on the trampoline with you I am sure! It must be nice to have Logan at school – I bet he is excited to be there as well. Grace and Tristan how are you two doing? We have your photo up on our pin board as well that you gave us. Do you have any more nieces, nephews or cousins as yet? I would love to know if they have arrived yet! Max, Jonny and Thomas how did you go at the swimming sports? Did Pukeokahu win? I am sure you guys all did your very best. Papa how is your dog going? Is he coming down to visit Mrs Stewart like he used to visit us?
Something funny to tell you – each time we go out into the community, like going to the market to do shopping, people are always really interested in Noah and Emily. Most times they will try and talk to them and one of the English words they know is “Baby” – so when they see Noah they say “Hello Baby”. Noah always becomes quite annoyed and will say back in a grumpy voice, “I’m not a baby, I’m a big boy!”
Also this week we were talking about people and Noah informed me that Logan and Ashley know the way to Ethiopia, so apparently they are coming to visit – maybe you could let Tina and Clifford know!!
Loved getting your letters!
Big hugs from Emily and Noah,
Becks
Hey Becks/ Mr. Pirie,
How are you guys going?
Had to laugh about Noah, wait until Emily is all grown up she’ll be doing the same thing!
Well, we had a successful swimming sports, which is quite cool! I came first in three events, Medley, 1 length freestyle, and breaststroke. Then in the the other two events which are 2 lengths freestyle, and backstroke I came second. I now have to go to the Inter school swimming sports and compete in all of the races.
Anyway in your next e-mail can you please tell me about the school and where you live! I am busting to see and here about it, that would be cool and interesting! What do you do all day, I suppose you look after the little munchkins or soon to be maybe!! How does Mr.Pirie like his job? I suppose I had better go and have my dinner! Bit late ay! ,
Oh well can’t wait to see the next e-mail!
See ya,
Lots of love,
Abbey (Abz)
Hi Becks! What are you guys doing. It sounds funny that Noah dose not liked being called baby and says that he is a big boy (witch I think is true!) What does Noah and do in their spare time? We make new stuff on the computers like: auto biographys and to record our selves. It is fun! Its a bummer not having you guys around anymore. We have added on to Noahs hut.
Se ya guys from Lochy
Hi everyone
I have just loved reading about all the stuff you have been doing. Marama, you are amazing! Hope to come up to visit you very soon.
Carol.
Thank you, Carol. You are very kind. You must make sure you bring your quilting with you, there are a lot of very clever Mums up here who quilt as well!
Hi Principal Marama. I tried to add a Voki to my website, but don’t know where to embed it! Are you able to assist?
Ah Principal Regan, you need some of my excellent ICT experts to come and visit you to show you what to do! Tell us what kind of website you have and we will see if the kids can give you some advice!
Hello guys. We have got some test fish in our tank and we have to feed them twice a day. We have 14 fish and they are fun to watch. How are you guys getting on? I am pleased to hear I’m one of Noah’s favourite boys! At athletics on Friday I came first place in the 1500m race ! I couldn’t believe it at first. I am going to the Hunterville Athletics to run in the 1500m race. Max, jonny and Abbey might be going as well!
Logan came to school yesterday till morning tea.
We are learning Maori with Marama, I am quite enjoying that.
I came off my bike at the weekend. A few friends and Bradley were behind me. I was on a different bike and I hit a rut and came off. I rolled down the slope a little bit and Bradley picked the bike up and we carried on.
We are having a working bee this month for a new sandpit. We all have ideas about what we want.
Hope you’re having good time in Ethiopia.
From Lochy
Hey Becks, Mr. Pirie, Noah and Emily, I miss you guys so much. So how’s life in Ethiopia? Yes surprise suprise Mr.Pirie loves soccer. We went on your facebook last night and saw the photos from the first trip out of Addis, Noah has grown so much and so has emily, she has long hair!! Really missing you when you don’t come for morning tea breaks, especially Noah he really brightened the day. And you don’t know how much all of us girls are missing Emily it’s horrendous! Not much else to say apart from Marama is really cool, we are learning lots of Maori and tomorrow we have got the rural schools swimming sports. We have had the Moawhango athletics which was good, I got a great number of placings, quite proud of myself. Oh well I guess I better go now, nearly morning tea time,
Please reply,
Love Abbey
P.S missing you guys so much, say hello to Noah and Emily for me!
Hi Guys!
Love the website and really love that we get to see what all of you are up to, even from all the way over here in Ethiopia – looks like you are having so much fun! Mr Pirie is out tonight playing soccer (surprise, surprise!), Noah and Emily are tucked up in bed and I am trying to watch some of your videos, but our internet is pretty slow, so I haven’t been able to watch all of them as yet.
We have your picture in the tin foil photo frame up on our pin board in our lounge room and Noah talks about you all often. Yesterday we were talking about people here at Bingham and he told me his favourite people were a boy called Cooper and Lochy! And no – there isn’t a Lochy over here – he was talking about you Lochy!! He really misses you all, jumping on the trampoline and wacking you all with those pool noodles!!
Emily is growing fast, her hair is getting really long and she is becoming very independent, not wanting to hold my hand when we walk through the school and waving to everyone she passes.
Mr Pirie is missing being in the classroom and having you as his students. We hope you are all really enjoying doing all this fabulous IT stuff with Mrs Stewart. I still want to make a short film about our life over here…maybe Mrs Stewart knows of a website that would work to upload it to even with a slow internet connection?? Otherwise I will post it to you on a DVD.
Much love to all of your families and everyone in the Puke District.
Becks
Hi Becks
Guess what? This year Logan and Micah and Tiana are going to start school. Logan is having his first visit today. We have some fish, 13 of them and we are going to have wha/ 4 snails too. We are learning Maori now as you can see. This is some Maori – Kei konei ahau/ I am here. Ata Marie/ Good Morning. Ahiahi Marie/ Good afternoon. The date is Maori is Raapa/ Wednesday toru/3 Poutu-te-rangi/March. From Peita
hi bex I tried to email you but it wouldn’t go through I miss Noah and Emily so much so tell them i miss them. logan has started school and ashley said I was her best friend It was so cool!!!!
millie
I am impressed! Thank you for sharing the possibilities of such a website, for small schools like yourselves.
I am going to be a regular visitor….
Thank you for your comment Jan. We will have lots of little experts by the end of the year if you would like to set up a site for your school or blogs for your students.
Great website Guys, keep up the good work.
Thank you for visiting us Sue. It is great having the whole community connected and up to date with what’s going on at school.
Looking good everyone!!!!! I love your site! I am sooo going to have to come check out your fish when they are all settled into their new home! How exciting… Hopefully I’ll catch up with you all soon, but for now, ta-ta!!! :O )
It’s so nice to know the former pupils of Pukeokahu School are keeping an eye on us! Have fun at TAS, Ella.
I noticed that our flag came up on the live traffic feed, and that it lists our city incorrectly. It should be Clay City, Indiana, USA. I will keep checking on your school because I just happen to have 2 very good friends there. If you have any questions about Indiana, let me know! :~)
Thank you very much for visiting our site. You were our very first international visitor! I am not sure how to correct the live feed information sorry, it is not actually run by our school, just borrowed. I am sure we will all have lots of questions for you later on in the year.
Greetings to everyone at Pukeokahu. I have had an in-depth look at your website and am very impressed with the learning and excellence in sports that you have achieved. You live in a beautiful part of the country and I look forward to a visit one day. I worked with Marama in Palmerston North and she brings great strengths in e-learning and literacy. Enjoy your learning. In the near future, visit our school website at Koputaroa School, Levin.
Thanks for visiting Regan! I know you are very busy at your new school. Say hello to Tracy, Jacob and Kaitlyn for me!
Hi to everyone at Pukeokahu School! I work in the school library at Russell St School in Palmerston North. I visited your school with my family in the holidays, what a beautiful place you have! We are a bit jealous of the big fireplace in your classroom
I really like your new website, and am looking forward to hearing more about your learning in 2010.
Thank you for visiting Miriam. I have told the students that you are a super expert librarian and that you are the lady to go to for awesome book suggestions! I can’t wait to read them “Scaredy Squirel” by Melanie Watt!
