Weather Report for Term One, Week Two

WEATHER REPORT

Term One, Week Two

Onto the second week of Term One, and for this week we may see some chances of rain rise up and ease down to a fair chance of a rainy or sunny day.

Monday 2nd February:
For Monday we start off with a high chance of showers, which then decrease onto an easy 24%. Luckily, for parts of the day, you can expect a cloudy but a little sunny for the day. A north westerly breeze comes in, going up to just 23 kilometres per hour. Highest temperature probably about 28 degrees celsius, while a low might be just 21.
Tuesday 3rd February:
Another day with chances of showers that will decrease throughout the day, highest being 48%. Winds suddenly turn from northwesterlies to southwesterlies, reaching up to 30 or under kilometres per hour. Highest temperature could be 26 degrees and lowest could be 21, again.

Wednesday 4th February:
Amazingly enough, Wednesday could be the less-rainiest day so far! With chances of rain less than 10%, expect for a cloudy but sunny day, with western winds at a "breezy" speed, clocking between 20 and 30 kilometres per hour. Highest temperature could be a 26, while a low could be a 19.

Thursday 5th February:
Last day for the week (since Friday is Waitangi Day), and we end the week off with...possible rain, with chances suddenly soaring through the 10%, and reaching into the 70s. Westerly winds go up to about 20 kilometres or faster, depending on what happens. Bring a raincoat, just in case this actually comes true. Highest temperature might be 22 degrees, while lowest might be 19.

Friday 6th February:
With Waitangi Day, it's better than Wednesday, with chances of rain dropping below Wednesday's chances. We can hope for the chances of rain, or rain in particular, to back off for the day, leaving us with a warm and mostly sunny day, temperatures going from a high 23, to a low 18. Although we have sunny parts in our day, stay aware about the southwesterly winds, possibly reaching up to 30 kilometres or higher.

That's the weather for this week. Enjoy.

Weather for Term One, Week One!

Know when to cool down with this week's weather report...

Tuesday 27th January:
To start off the term, with a high of 27 degrees celsius (low 19, possibly), we should expect to see hardly any rain with precipitation chances being below 40%. Meaning, more than 60% of a sunny day. That's great! South easterly winds will get up to about 16 km/h. Other than that, a great start to the term and school year.

Wednesday 28th January:
Onto the second day of term one now, and the winds might start to ease up a bit, going over 20 kilometres per hour, and maybe a chance of rain. Although, there is a bigger chance of not having rain, so never fear. We could possibly have a high of 29 degrees celsius, and a possible low of 19 degrees celsius.

Thursday 29th January:
Third's the word for Thursday! With a high of a possible 28 degrees (low maybe 20 degrees), you can hope for no rain with a high chance of over 30% of rain to drizzle our day. But again, it's almost sunny. With a top wind speed going up to possibly 29 degrees, we may face some winds over 20 kilometres per hour.

Friday 30th January:
A low of 21 degrees, with a high of 27, to end the school week, we have a chances of rain ready to come out on the weekend, but hopefully it doesn't spoil our last day of the school week, with small winds rising up to about 21 kilometres per hour.

That is your weather for this week. May not go as well but these are predictions.

Class of 2014 Graduation

"I'm gonna miss you..."
-Words from one of the Year Eights, now Year Nines.

We looked back on the memories the Year Eights had to share. The video was put together by the fabulous Whaea Petra and Mr Wong, and can be screened below:

The Class of 2014 Graduation Ceremony was held on Thursday, the 11th of December, a day before the last day for the year. Filled with memories and rejoice, and not to forget, a few tears from some people, the Year Eights, or the audience. But remember, these are times of celebration, and what a celebration it was.

The Year Sevens were one of the many who were partly emotional through the ceremony. One Year Seven said, and in their words, "So sad to see my babies go...". No explanation for that saying at all. 

While the Year Sevens were in some sadness and some happiness bumps, the group in the middle of it all, the Year Eights, were a bit emotional too. Mavis, one of the Class of 2014, made an unscheduled end to her Year Eight speech, but some would say that it was quite "metaphoric" and still, even with the different choice of words, it was "still a great way to end a speech".

A performance by the School Band and that was the end of the Class of 2014 Graduation Ceremony.

Only thing left to do, now...

Look through the photos of the graduation...

Kokako Lodge Camp 2014

Welcome to another post looking back at the year that was 2014.

GREAT GROUP: The two year levels sit and relax for a
period of time

The Kokako Lodge Camp was held earlier this term in 2014, in the Hunua ranges. Involving the Year Seven and Eights of Tamaki Primary. For four days, in separate groups, they were involved in activities such as abseiling (the act of using rope to safely control the way down to another point below, if that makes sense), archery (an act of shooting an arrow to a target, and some have shot the target, target being a bullseye), kayaking (the act of crossing streams and waters with a kayak, while also controlling the currents (?)), and many more.

Not only were there survival skills learnt, but also, the group of Year 7&8s hosted a Fiafia night in the lodge area. Some said, and I report, that some groups were really outstanding with their performances. Don't know which group, but I heard a lot of talk about the group, Express, or Xpress, or something like that.

ABSEILING JOHN: In this photo we see John on the abseiling
course. At least I suspect it's the abseiling course...

Fiafia Night

Welcome back now to another flashback in the year that was 2014. Although it's hardly near the point of New Years, I though I'd post a few unforgettable moments in the year that was...2014!

The Tamaki Primary Po Fiafia Night that was held in April. The outcome by parents and whanau was astounding, the performances and final products were astounding, but that wasn't all. The end, the total money raised in just one night...

At least $1,400!

Starting with a welcome speech by Mrs Kelly, and then after, it began. After a short but sweet break from the first few performances, it was back into the spotlight for some groups. With more than 5 performances shown on the night, there was no doubt that some people received money. With then turned out to be donations for the Year Seven and Eight camp, which was also successful.

The video below shows one of the highlights of the night. The Tongan Group.

For their performance, see below.

And a little pic from the first day of Term Three...
