Kikino kē nei koutou - You were all so fantastic! 

We could use this kīwaha to compliment everyone's attitude during the cross country and colour run last week!

• No burgers this Friday because of Teacher Only Day
• No pies next Monday because of King's Birthday

Some girls from the Kauri team are working on cleaning up the Peace Garden area. If you see them working please be respectful and don't kick over the piles of leaves etc.

Kaua e wareware:

• People waiting on the court after school, please do not touch the PE gear left outside the PE shed. This is not for you to play with - it is waiting to be put away.
• Term 2 and 3 - Please stay off the field before school to give it a chance to dry out and avoid mud and grass through the classrooms.
• Please don't pick flowers or shake trees to get flowers down. Let's leave them alone to look beautiful and provide food for the bees.

A Japanese company making ferocious-looking robot wolves is being swamped by orders after record numbers of bear attacks on humans last year.

"Monster Wolf" is an animatronic scarecrow with flashing red eyes that howls and growls menacingly to scare away wild animals. They were originally made to keep deer and boars away from farmers' crops. 

"Monster Wolf" features artificial fur draped over an assembled pipe frame, attached to speakers, topped with a menacing, open-mouthed face. The device turns its head from side to side, flashes red LED eyes, while its tail is equipped with blue LEDs.

Orders come mostly from farmers, operators of golf courses and people working outside in rural areas such as in construction.

The company is now upgrading the device by putting it on wheels to chase animals or patrol specific paths.

When you take your ipu pepa to be emptied, please leave your lid in your classroom.
