School in 2009 Amy

School in 2009 is very fun when you are in your classroom. Our school is just missing something, a bigger playground at our school. Everday at school I am not bored, I am enjoying it very,very much. After school we have to go and get our bags, then we can go and line up for our buses and then we can go home.

Te Kawau Athletics at Massey

The most exciting thing that happened was, I went into the finals for the 100 metres. Abby

It was exciting when we got there and we were already to race. Michelle

Doing the sprints was the best, I tried my hardest, I came last but I was still happy. Jonathon

Coming 3rd in the long jump was exciting for me. Drew

I was surprised I came 3rd in the running against all the 5's and 6's. Amba

In the Long Jump, I went across the white line and then too far back because I couldn't see the line very well. Then I went on top of the line which was good. Jessica

Athletics Day

It was Oroua Downs school Athletics Day on Friday the 6th November. There were heaps of events like running,high jump,long jump,discuss and shot put.First there were running races then the finals. Then there was high jump we tryed our hardest, then we had to move on to long jump and we were running and jumping as long as we could go.Then we moved on to discus and we had two goes each. The horn blew and we moved on.It was a hot day, we had one more event to go and it was shot put. We had the ball in one hand then we pushed the ball and it went flying out of our hand then the teacher marked our landing. So it was a fun day.

My Speech

First I talked about war, then I did sharks and told the audience they (sharks)aren't really bad because people think we are it. I did nature next, then bugs, then me, then that was end of my speech. I got 2nd because I pointed at Mr Caffell . I got 48 out of 50. I just like we doing speeches.

My Lamb Barbie

The best thing about my lamb is leading and brushing it and cuddling it.

At Calf and Lamb Day, when I called her, she ran away. But I got 2 second ribbons and 1 cup. I was really happy.

Looking After my Calf Abby

At home we had to wash our calves with shampoo and brush them all the time and feed them twice a day . When it came to school, Mum had to feed them that morning. I got two 3rds and one 2nd. I was really happy.

Calf and Lamb Day, I just want to congratulate Ryan, he won six cups! Wow! Also thanks to the parents who came to help.
Thank you to the people who served drinks, coffee and tea, and the Barbeque ladies. And I thought the kids did a great job on their mosaic bricks and tiles and canvases.
