Read for Pizza Challenge

READ FOR PIZZA CHALLENGE

What is the Hell Pizza reading Challenge?

Hell Pizza wants to reward New Zealand children who read books.

Complete the pizza wheel (available from Susie) by reading 7 books, and then go to any Hell store and redeem it for a free 333 Hell Pizza…It’s that simple!

After reading each book students must fill out a book review or summary and return it to Susie who will then clip and sign a pizza wedge from their wheel this process has to be done each time students finish a book, when they have done this for the seventh time they bring their completed wheel to Susie who will then authenticate the wheel with the school stamp.  The wheel is then, able to be taken to local Hell store to receive their free 333 Kids healthy Pizza.

Just follow the rules and then happy reading will lead to happy pizza eating.

                        .  Every student must read 7 books to fill up their wheel to able to receive their free 333 healthy pizza in PERSON from your local Hell store.

                        .  There is no limit on the number of wheels a student can fill up between March and December, provided they are stamped and authenticated by Susie.

                        .  The students must redeem their free pizza in person and before the expiry date, which is Sunday December 4^th, 2016.  Each pizza wheel will feature detailed rules and regulations, as well as a serial number that will be traced back to your school/library.  We do this to ensure a high standard of conduct.  It’s our honour code!

Learning Mandarin

Learning Mandarin 

 We are very lucky to have Miss Chen Yi come to our class once a week to teach us some Mandarin. 
 We will also learn about some Chinese customs and their culture.
This is what we have been learning.

Game1: 踢毽子 tī jiàn zi 

The shuttlecock, called a jianzi in the Chinese game and also known in English as a 'Chinese hacky sack', typically has four feathers fixed into a rubber sole or plastic discs. Some handmade jianzi make use of a washer or a coin with a hole in the center.

During play, various parts of the body (except for the hands) are used to keep the shuttlecock from touching the ground. It is primarily balanced and propelled upwards using parts of the leg, especially the feet. 

Game2: 跳绳 tiào shénɡ

The very basic way is that one or more participants jump over a rope swung so that it passes under their feet and over their heads. There are more various ways to make it more difficult like double under or triple under.
