About this Episode
Rob Waddell won an Olympic Gold Medal for rowing the single scull at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Now he is grinder for the Team Emirates New Zealand yacht to help us to win back the America's Cup in Valencia, Spain.
Following from our contact with Zoe's parents in Valencia we were able to talk to Rob and ask him questions about his work.
This was our most ambitious podcasting project yet as TVNZ, our national television network, got wind of the story and sent one camera crew around to film us at Appleby and another to Zoe's parent's flat to film Rob. We are going to be on TV!!!!!!
Rob Waddell was a fabulous person to talk with, his sense of humour and warmth came across so well to all of us assembled at 7pm back at school on a cold winter's night. Thanks for your time, Rob- it was great to be able to talk with you.
I am sorry that I had to edit out some of the interview as it was just too big a file but we will enjoy watching the full movie played back at school.

A few weeks ago we went to Te Awhina Marae. We all got together to record what we did at the marae.
Summer- School Councillor
This week we decided who are school councillors for the next couple of terms. Summer made a great job of making a speech to encourage her classmates to vote for her. She took the Easi-speak home and after a few practice goes managed to record her speech. Well done, Summer.
My Dream
My Dream
Last night I had a funny dream,
I blew up my balloon,
Then held on tight, jumped into space,
And landed on the moon.
The people there looked very strange,
Three eyes and one green nose.
They had six legs and walked like crabs,
With corks instead of toes.
They showed me all around the place,
Then gave me things to eat,
A nasty drink that looked like ink,
And funny tasting meat.
They said,"Now come and see our king,
He's grand- his nose is red."
I said, "No thanks," and shut my eyes,
And woke up home in bed.

What Mum Says
When Mum says,
"I'll be there in a minute."
She really means,
I'll be at least another half-hour."
But when Mum says
"I want this room tidied NOW, or there'll be trouble."
She really, really means it!

My Other Jandal
Here we are on another school year at Appleby School. We are concentrating on making our voices the best that we can. To do that we record ourselves, play it back and discuss how we might improve and then re-record.
Here is our first attempt for 2010. It is based on a poem, My Other Jandal' by Don Franks.
My Other Jandal by Don Fanks
Have you seen my other jandal?
I had it just before.
It shouldn’t be too hard to find-
It’s somewhere on the shore.
It disappeared all by itself
When I was in the waves,
And that’s the way my other jandal
Usually behaves.

Interview with Nadia's Dad
We are learning how to interview people to find out more about them and to follow up with open ended questions. We are also learning about how schools were in days gone by. Appleby School is soon to celebrate 150 years. That is quite an achievement. 5MB 7 minutes
Chunky Chalks
This week's podcast was made to describe how we made chalk. The instructions are in New Zealand School Journal Pt 2 No 4 2000. School Journals are a wonderful resource for reading for NZ children.
It was a bit of a competition between two groups to see who could manage their group better to produce a clear well constructed audio file.
