ben sleeps in

It was morning on Pool Road. The birds were chirping. My alarm clock was ringing. I reached and slammed the button and stopped the screaming noises and immediately went to sleep again. Seven-thirty I woke-up with the sun in my face. I suddenly fell out of bed. I race to my clothes on, splashed water of my face and went down to the kitchen for breakfast. I ate breakfast sleepily while mum was washing the dishes. I packed my bag, got on my bike and zzzzzzzoooooooommmmmed down the road. I arrived at school late again. I ran to my class room and opened the door. Everyone`s head turned and looked at me suspiciously. The teacher said " Where have you been? You're late again."

Calf and lamb day

Does anyone watch Shortland Street? Well if you do, look who came to our calf and lamb day. Renato Bartolomei aka Craig Valentine. As you can see, he presented an award to Kimberley and Jamee for having the most obvious pets. Well done guys.

calf club

Calf club was all happening on Friday two weeks ago. We all had to do our own stall for a fun raiser for school camp. There were calves, lambs, scarecrows, gardens and caged pets.
In the classes we could do vege creations, vasaline saucers, junk jewellery and mini scene.

Holiday News from Trent

Hi guys its Trent. Here its been 2 and a half weeks of FUN!!! On the plane we watched a lot of movies. It was a very long flight straight from Auckland to Vancouver(it took 13hrs)overnight. Next we went to Edmonton in an airbus. It took 1 1/2hrs. We stayed for a week, visted some old friends, went to the zoo, and to the world's biggest shopping mall. They have a waterpark there - it was awesome - it was like Waiwera except it had a pool that made waves. At the mall they had everything, even sealions. Now we are in Calgary staying with some more friends. Went to Drumheller to the dinosaur museum and got a shark tooth. We also got a fossil of an ancient squid. We've been watching a lot of ice hockey. Today we went to a space center which tells you everything about space - you even get to fly to mars and then drive on it(well a simulation anyway). Can't wait until we get to Disneyland. It's been great here. Hope you're having fun with calf club and everything else.

Response from Room 1
Wow sounds like you are having fun. Calf club was great but the weather was rainy. We are now concentrating on our camp. OUR CLASS ALONE MADE 640$. Camp sounds really good. We are going to do heaps of activities. It was a great idea talking to us through the blog. Hope you have heaps more fun.

Choco Holic

Who likes chocolate??? If you do, and you didn't come to show day, you missed out. Choc-A-Holics was a stall for all the chocolate lovers out there. We sold cookies, muffins, afghans, chocolate mud cake, and lollies in bags, chocolate flavoured of course!!! We also did the all popular guessing game- how many lollies in the jar, except, they had to fit in with the chocolate theme, so the game was changed to how many Jaffas in the Jar. All together we made $65. 40c, which was a pretty good effort.

Scavenger Hunt

At calf club Gemma and Bree-Anna made a scavenger hunt stall. The weather wasn't the best but we managed to get a few games in. We also did a Quiz and "Guess how many pegs are in the bowl" People had no idea how many pegs were in the bowl. They had answers from 19 to 90 but the real answer was 82. We had a range of hard questions from WHO INvENTED ThE POPSICLE?ROME
to DO ESKiMOS GAMBLE?NO. The goody bags had all sorts of things inside of them like stuff and things. It was hard organising all the prizes and games in such short notice since the school holidays had just started. :)

HOLIDAY

In the holidays people did many fun and interesting things like shopping and going to the beach. Some people went to a friends house, had a friend over, went to the zoo, saw the circus, went bowling, went to the movies, saw their family, went swimming, fishing and much much more. We know we had a great holidays and hope you did too.

What i did on the holidays

I had a great time on the holidays! I had the 1st Saturday,Sunday,Monday and tuesday a bit boring....But then my friend from wellington came up! So we started building a hut. By the end of the day it was made. We went inside for a bit, not long after my cousin walked in the door! We went down to show him the hut. He is a scout so he helped us improve it. The next day we climbed a vine tree but it only lasted a day because all the main branches had snapped....hehe....a few more days later another friend came over for my mums birthday! My friend left back to wellington. And not long after it was back to school. I was really sad.
