Rugby

On Friday night Wanderers Gold Under 7's played under the lights. We played Cameron's team. We got very muddy. When it was half time we had jellybeans and oranges, then we went back on. We went on and off. I went on again when they tapped and ran. I did a big rip. They did not score. It was a loose ball. I got the ball and I did a big run but I got ripped. I passed the ball. We scored the try. We had chips with mini dogs. We had drinks. When we got home we were still hungry so we had icecream.

Room 4 Visit To The Tasman District Library

On Tuesdsay 5th May Room 4 went to visit Lucy at the TDC Library in Richmond. Lucy told us all about the library and told us a fairy tale using the felt board. We got to look around the library and some children who had remembered to bring their library cards got books out. Some more Room 4 children have now joined the library which is fantastic.

Story Teller

On Thursday a storyteller called Roger Sanders came to visit Brightwater School. There were two sessions. The Junior Syndicate went to the first session. He told us two stories and then answered our questions. The first story was about seven skinny goats and the second story was about a leprechaun and an old man looking for gold. We all liked it when Mr Sanders played his instruments.

Museum Visit

In the weekend I went to the museum to see the underwater dinosaur I went with Mum, Dad and Ashlee. After I saw Jamie and Sonia. After the museum visit I had lunch. Mum bought two fossils, Micraster Sea Urchin 90 million years old, Cretaceous Spain. Orthoceras, 350 million years old, Morocco. I got lots of stuff.

Welcome Back To Term 2

It was great to hear all the exciting adventures the children had been having in the holidays. Lots of children had been to the Air Show in Blenheim. Christchurch, Greymouth and Hokitika were other places visited. Other adventures were closer to home, Takaka, Picton, Lake Rotoiti and down the Sounds. Some children visited the Aquatic Centre, went to the hydroslide and in the bumper boats. We are going to podcast our stories when we have finished writing them.

This term we will be reading, writing, telling and performing Fairy Tales. We have a visit to the TDC library next week. In week 3 we have a storyteller coming to school. We are also going to have a Book Fair. One day towards the end of term the whole school will be dressing up as book characters.

It is going to be another busy term.
