__Orienteering__
Hi This is Karen. I am going to write about Orienteering in our school. This is a physical activity for a group of students.

What happens during orienteering: I really enjoy the trips to Terry street for the orienteering.
 * We leave our school to the park in the morning of orienteering day.
 * We walk in groups wearing our PE gear.
 * Once we reach the park,we will get a map with tracks marked on it.You will also get paper pieces with numbers on it.
 * Then you run from the starting point and follow the directions in the map.
 * On the way, you will find poles with numbers on it. When you find a pole with a number,you have to clip the piece of paper with matching number on the pole.
 * Once you have finished all the numbers on the map,you can run to the finish line.

KiaOra My name is Karen and I am 10 years old. I am in room 8 of St. Dominics Catholic primary school, Blockhouse bay. I was born in India. My parents came to New Zealand in 2002 when I was a baby. I am tall and has black hair. My birthday is on 7th of November. I like reading,drawing and watching cartoons. Pink is my favourite colour. My favourite subject is maths. I attend piano and dance classes during the weekend. I go to the library every week & get story books to read. I read stories with my sister,Nia during night time. I like cassava, naan and butter chicken and the clothes I like are normal jeans and t shirts. I live in Blockhouse Bay with my Dad, mum and Nia. This year I got a new friend, Sheena. We play together at school.

Thank you Karen

Hello Karen! This is YOUR special page on our class wiki. The only people who can write on or edit this page are you, your parents and me. But other people can read it and comment using your discussions tab. Have fun doing some of your work on the wiki and don't forget to check out other people's pages too, for good ideas to share and learn from. We will be learning some handy tricks at school, but don't be afraid to have a go at adding to your page from home too. I am so glad to have you in Room 8. I hope we all have a wonderful year with lots of learning and LOTS of smiles!!! Mrs Fitzpatrick
