Relays

On the 30th October we had our Shooting Stars and SuperNova team relay competition.
The first team was the Shooting Stars Girls with Rooms 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, but Room 4 had 2 teams I was in one of them. My team came 2nd to last, but the other Room 4 team came 3rd.
Room 6 came first.
Room 1, the boys class, were dressed as girls and they looked really funny. Because of this they raced the teachers and the teachers won, of course!! The teachers running were Mr Hilary, Mr Muller, Mr McBride and Mr Donaldson, our caretaker.
After this all of the winning teams raced against each other but Rooms 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8 all had to be muddled to make it fair.
We had a great afternoon and thought all students competed really well. We still think the boys class dressing up as girls for their entry in the girls' relay race was the highlight of the day.
Well done everyone.

End of School Trip

This term we are going to have an end of school trip to a surprise place that nobody knows about. I can't wait for this trip to come

Cinderella Jones Production

"Cinderella Jones" was awesome eventhough some mistakes were made. It was so much fun performing in front of people instead of pretending they were there. Most of the tickets were sold and the crowd gaves us lots of laughs and support. Our make up looked really funny for the lights, so we looked like we had eyes. It was awesome, I hope you were there to see it.

Athletics

Last week we had athletics the events were shotput which I came 2nd in, then there was discus which Demi came 2nd in, then long distance which I came 4th, then long jump, then high jump which I came 2nd in and then sprints which I came 1st in. So we have to go to the zones to represent the events we came 1st and 2nd in. If we get 1st or 2nd in some events at the zones we go to the Canterburys. This week on Friday we are having our house colour relay.

Cinderella Jones

Our school is putting on production called "Cinderella Jones". Cinderella Jone's is about a lonely Girl called Sally Jone's who dreams of fitting into the cafe crowd and her two sisters called Maggie and Geri have been dreaming about meeting Matt vinyl the DJ. Then Pattie o Dawes comes to Sally's rescue when she needs to go to the hippest party in town. Pattie and her back ground singers the Squee Gees (that's me and another three girls) do their little jingle and Sally comes out and transforms into "CINDERELLA JONES". She heads to the coolest party in town. In meantime Surfin' Sam gets his glad rags on and in the end Sally and Surfin' Sam fall for each other and Matt Vinyl, the mice, Spin and Dex do a dance. Matt Vinyl has an emotional break down but Maggie and Geri just can`t get enough of him and they catch him just before he falls. I hope you enjoyed it, if you were able to come and see it.

Reading

Cinderella Jones

Cinderella Jones is the school production. Tonight is our show night!!!! We are nearly sold out, yesterday there were 127 seats of 412 left, but Miss H was still getting lots of people wanting to buy them. We have had lots and lots of practice, 2 and a 1/2 months worth. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

Reading

In reading we are focusing on picture story books(sophisticated story books)and looking how the pictures help to tell the story. We read this story called Varmids about an animal who changes the world with a little bit of mother nature.
