Tio ana te hau - The wind is absolutely freezing!  

Kaua e wareware:

• Stop and check before crossing drive through entrances and exits.

The All Whites found a new goal-scoring hero in a 2-2 draw with Iran in their opening Football World Cup game in Los Angeles.

Eli Just, who attended the Olé Football Academy in Porirua and  who now plays his club football in the Scottish Premiership, became the first All White to score twice at a World Cup.

Just's goals in either half helped New Zealand to draw with a side ranked 65 places ahead of them in the world rankings, and move to joint top of Group G on goal difference after all four teams have played once.

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

BOOK OF THE WEEK
A miscellany of mischief and magic : discover history's best hoaxes, hijinks, tricks and illusions by Tom Adams (Non Fiction 001.94) Learn the secrets of infamous magic illusions and tricks and discover the stories of some of history's most notorious hoaxes, pranks, and cons. While some are great fun, others contain a serious lesson . . . after all, understanding scams of the past can help protect you in the future. Meet infamous pranksters such as Marcel Duchamp (the French artist who pranked the art world), renowned illusionists and escape artists such as Adelaide Hermann (one of the first female magicians), and cunning con-artists such as George C. Parker (the American who "sold" the Statue of Liberty). The themed spreads explore a range of topics such as made-up monsters, alien conspiracies, doctored photos, disguises and pseudonyms, April Fool's Day pranks, and much more. If you're feeling mischievous, you can even follow the steps and tips spaced throughout the book to try your hand at some pranks and magic tricks of your own! But keep your wits about you, because fake hoaxes are included within the pages for eagle-eyed readers to try to spot!
