Our Delightful Logans

Both our wonderful Logans have achieved 100/100 in the Early Additive Basic Facts Test in 8 minutes. Mrs Paterson presented them both with certificates today at the Junior Syndicate Singing Assembly. We are so proud of you both.

Some of our letters have arrived!

It was very exciting today when there was mail in the Room 8 mailbox. Several letters had arrived from our families. It was terribly exciting opening them. Letters are just another way we can communicate with our families.

Look at all our Sensational Printing Stars!

This is a record! WOW! Ten printing stars. These SENSATIONAL children all get to use pen for the day. They must have: letters and numbers formed correctly, finger spaces, a sharp pencil, have started at the margin, letters close together in words, capitals and a full stop, sentence written correctly, tidy rub-outs and no loops in letters. Oh, so much to focus on but we did it!!

Shrek, the run away sheep - by Olivia

Once upon a time there was a merino lamb. He liked playing with his friends. He loved his mother’s milk. It was warm.

One day a farmer came to cut off his special tail. “I am scared, Mum. Help Mum, I have been grabbed” said the lamb. But his mum could not hear him. “My special tail is gone!”

The farmer came more and more to round up the sheep. “I don’t like it. I know what to do next time,” said the lamb.

Next time they came, he ran up into the mountains. He stayed there for 6 years. His coat was getting very heavy. It was dangerous!

One day he heard people coming. He tried to hide between the rocks but he fell. Luckily he landed safely because his coat protected him but he could not move. He was stuck.

A musterer discovered the sheep, picked him up and took him to a man. His name was John, the owner of Bendigo Station. He took care of him and gave him the name ‘Shrek’.

Shrek got shorn with scissors and got a new coat made especially for him. He became a celebrity. He got to visit the prime minister at the beehive, he helped raise money for kids that have cancer and he visited old people.

But 10 days ago Shrek died of old age. The people are going to put him in a museum in Wellington, they hope! I hope they do too so I can visit him one day.

Disco Fever

I felt pretty amazing dancing with Mrs Buschl up on the stage. I can do the boggy dance, the worm dance and the snake dance. I had my church hat on my head and I looked so cool. Aunty Cindy and Paton picked me up. The disco was fun. I got to have a chocolate bar too.

At the Disco

When I first got to the disco I was little shy but near the end I went CRAZY! My friend Sapphire was dressed as the Mad Hatter. Jaime and Cierra won the limbo. I was proud of them. We a did boys vs girls dance off and the girls won! I was sweating hot at the disco. I bought myself one glow stick. I danced that night away. Written by Lily
