I am new to Mahana School and so far I'm enjoying it a lot. The maths tests we have every week have helped me improve in solving subtraction problems quickly, and I have already made a few friends. Writing descriptions of things we like every day has been a lot of fun, and I have even managed to type two up on the computer!
Breaktimes are never boring, since there are unicycles we can use and I am learning to ride them. I am also enjoying PE; we are currently working on Rippa Rugby, which is great fun and very tiring! All the teachers are friendly and cheery, and nobody makes a fuss when you get something wrong.
So far, I haven't seen any bullying or unkind behaviour in the playground, which has pleased me. There are no bullies at Mahana School! All the children are friendly and kind and nobody gets left out of games when they want to join in.
None of the lessons are at all stressful; I can ask for help if I need it. It is always clear who is doing what, and who is in which maths group, and whether it's the Year 5s or 6s, 7s and 8s who are going outside to play Rippa Rugby, etc.
The only bad thing is all the fights over unicycles at breaktime; there are only four to share out between the whole school! This is not always fair, since some people "cheat" to get the unicycles (sitting on them while eating lunch, hiding them at the end of break so they can use it next break etc.), but some people bring theirs in which lowers the demand for them.
Overall, I am enjoying Mahana School a lot so far and I am definitely staying here for the rest of my time in New Zealand.
