Motor Cross

In the weekend I went to motor cross. At motor cross you had to follow tape on the pegs. It was muddy. It was hard. I got a trophy for coming third. It was exciting.

Spring Poems

Last week Room 10 went for a walk around the school to look for signs of spring.  

See if you can picture what we saw by reading our poems.

Plants waking up from winter

Daffodils swaying in the spring breeze

Chestnuts falling from the trees like a person parachuting

Grass growing tall and strong

Sun shining above the

colourful trees

Trees are ready for summer

By Tamati

Birds are singing songs that are happy

Daffodils are dancing in the sunshine

Insects are happily calling to each other

Trees are getting company from leaves

Buds are bursting into bloom

Flower fairies are coming out to play

  By Anastasia

 Daffodils standing like soldiers

Leaves falling from the trees

Clouds moving in the sky

Acorn trees turn bare

Trees whispering secrets

                    By Jak

Flowers waving in the wind

Trees watching us play

Leaves flapping way up in the air

Chestnuts fall like a

paper plane

Blossom blooming white and pink

                  By Bailey

Blossoms blooming in the sun

Our weekend

In the weekend I went to rugby league prize giving at the Halswell Hornets club rooms.  I got a trophy for the most improved player.  I bought my trophy to school and it broke in my bag and it was not funny.  It was sad.  I was sad.

In the weekend I went to the Sydenham club. I got a trophy. I was the last one to get one. I got it for always arriving at rugby games and practice. The trophy is gold. It has a man getting a try on it and a big rugby ball. I was proud of myself.

In the weekend I went to Dad’s house and made a sock puppet. It is a dolphin and it has button eyes and nose.  It has orange triangles on its back and it’s fins and tail are light blue. The body is gray. It has some pretty decorations on it and it has eyelashes and eyebrows that are light blue. It has a love heart on the top fin.

Our New Pet!

We finally decided on what pet would be the best pet for Room 10!
We chose to get two fish because:

• they wouldn't be noisy
• they would be easy to look after and wouldn't need too much attention
• they could be left over the weekend 
• they are relaxing too watch
• they are fun to watch.

Before we added the fish to the tank we had to pour our tank water into the plastic bag to get the fish use to our water.

 We left the bag in the tank for a while before we let the fish go into the tank.

 Here are our new pet goldfish. Goldie is an orange comet and Bolt is a bronze comet. Samuel, Caitlin and Mercedez chose them at the Pet Shop.

Cricket Fun

We had coaches from Canterbury cricket come and take us for a cricket session on Monday.

It was heaps of fun!

Dog Safety

This week we had a visitor from the Christchurch City Council. We learnt how to be safe around dogs.

We learnt:

If a dog's on it's own, leave it alone.

 Always ask the dog's owner if you can pat the dog.

Chest is best- Pat the dog the chest.

Gender: male          Kind: Tabby cat

Owner: Lilly

 My pet Nudge has been great company ever since we bought him. I thought Nudge would be a great name for him because he kept nudging us when we first got him. He still nudges me when I get home from school. He jumps onto my bed and nudges me so much that it feels like my head will fall off. He’s the best pet I’ve ever had and out of all the pets we have ever had he’s the only one who comes in the front door.
