Netball Canterburys (Sophie W and Ellie)

Yesterday our netball team went to Hagley park to play in Canterburys. We played four games and we only won one of them. We were very supportive when we were off because we had green and black pom poms!  Also there was a Westpac helicopter that landed right beside our court and it was vey loud but cool. We played against St Albans, St Joseph Ash, Waimari, and Bishipdale. It was an exhausting day!

We're broadcasting - Springston Radio!

We're exploring the idea of radio broadcasting! A group of students from Room 5 has been helping Carol work out how to do this with iPads. We're working on our information skills, and our expression.

We're publishing our radio broadcasts on SoundCloud. We hope you enjoy our first effort!

Lake Clearwater Postcard

Dear Mr T,
I am writing this postcard to you from Lake Clearwater.
I have been here since Saturday with my family.
So far the weather has been windy and rainy.
The best thing for me was that Dad and I caught a wriggly brown
trout that weighed two and a half pounds. On the other hand it was cold and windy on most days.
I hope you are having a good holiday too.
Best wishes,
Ellie

My Teacher

My teacher is a sporty creature. He has a poddle called Gino and two children. He always wears brown shorts and a chekered shirt but, sometimes wears long black fancy pants.

My teacher often says, "paki paki" when we do good work. Whenever I can't find my stuff he is usually calm and says, "it will turn up soon".

Another interesting thing about him is that he's bald in the middle of his head because he is getting old!

He drives a green Mazda sports car that has a red roof that folds down. He wizzes round Springston like a wild dog.

What a unique teacher!

Thank you letter

Dear Kim,

Thank you very much for coming to our camp
and helping with everything.

We really appreciated your help with the supervising
us, cleaning the bunk rooms and making the dinners for us.

I had a wonderful camp. Some of the highlights for me
were shooting the target three times in a row and also
doing low ropes. I did some of them blind folded.

Once again thanks very much for everything.

Yours sincerely,
Ellie
