Wind

As the wind blows around me
I lie in the soft grass
surrounding me rain stars to
fall from the teary giant up in
the sky as I wounder back inside
I whisper I'll be back.

Feedback - Fendalton Friends

I was really impressed with how Liam and Eric led their Fendalton Friends group today.

They spoke with confidence, they ensuring everyone's ideas were listened to. I heard words like 'respect' mentioned during the conversations, plus they involved the entire group. It was great how you showed the younger students that it is important for you to know everyone's name!

What superb Dream Makers you both are!

Here is a slideshow of photos from today showing you leading:

My spine poem by Grant

There's a place a home

room's all around

in the big big wild forest it won't let me down

the

forest

for

everyone

My poam

The pipes rattle as the

Chamber is opened down down down I go into a pit

Of bones through a door that will reveal the

Secrets of the chamber.

In Celebration of Jared...

I am as speedy as a runaway fish, gliding in the water. Feel my brain think, solve and whiz as if it depended on my life. Hear cheers for others as I lighten spirits and personal confidence, like the fire of happieness demolishing the darkness. Taste the wind as I zoom past as fast as a hungry cheetah. And smell creative ideas coming in my direction like leaves growing on trees in spring.

P.S I touched typed all of this, including this, but still looked at the keyboard 5 times.

Swimming at QEII

Yesterday the Central swimming team went to QEII for a Swimming practice in a 50m metre pool. Sadly, Annabelle forgot her togs (speaking of forgetting togs I almost forgot mine because I didn't know but I packed them anyway :|) so the 9 year old team couldn't have everyone who were supposed to do it swim at the practice.

 We did our relays twice, all the individual events but my 50m Butterfly was most interesting. Caitlin & Alex H. challenged me at the 50 fly.I won, with Caitlin on my tail.

 Then we got 7 minutes, playing tag, in the lazy river, then went back to FOS. Man, everyone else must of been SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO jealous.

My iMac G3 by Grant

On tuesday i'm geting an imac g3 specs are 266 MHZ G3 prossesor 32/62? mb ram and 4 gb HD. The best thing is it works!!!

My iBook G3 and iMac G3

Today i got given an iMac G3 and an iBook G3. The imac was broken but the ibook was not. I am typing this post on the ibook
the t,y,h,j,n,m and o key fronts are missing but the ibook is still cool. This ibook hosts a 700 MHZ power PC G3 prosesor And it has 384 mega bites SDRAM. It has mac osx 10.3.9 and i love the mac.

The best thing.....

The best thing about camp was that most of the activity's were extremely fun and exciting. The mountain biking was hard, at some points, easy, for most of the ride, steep, Yay!!!, and flat, Um....... The tree climbing was an adventure, the orienteering was tiring and in the stream study the insects were creepy. Oh, and don't forget the star of team challenges, eggy!!!

Camp bivy making

As I walked toward the stream, I was smiling like crazy. Mrs Gordon was telling a story about so people who had just arrived in NZ. Bouncing with excitement, I sat down to listen to the rest of the tale. 5min's later, I awoke from to my daydream to find that everyone (including me) was ready to start to build the huts. After half an hour a huge storm came over to where we were building. Our team got soaking wet and we were shaking with laughter after.

HOT POOLS

My feet were burning how can people get into those pools they're so hot.I eventialy got into the pool I got straight back out in my mind i was thinking wouldn't it be cold who cares it feels like i'm on fire i went and jumped into a colder pool.Then went onto the hydroslides they can be really painful in the dark hydrslide because you can't see the sides so when you turn a corner bang you've just hit it. In the childrens pool something was hitting me it was water where was it coming from "Tom" he was spraing me with the water shotter COME COME COME AND HIDE IN ME where was that sound coming from the "CAVE" I swam and hid in it.

Weeeeeeeee! That was what happened in my weekend. Dad, Mum, Justine and I went to the QE11 (Queen Elizabeth Second) pools and Spa. I got to go on the hydroslides and boy were they fun! First I went down the collosus blow up raft slide, it was so fast!!!! Ready,Set,....(dramatic pause) GO!!!! I shot down the giggling slide and every time I turned a corner I went up on the wall of the slide!

Lateral Thinking Puzzle

Hi there

Here is a thinking puzzle, like the ones we do in class. If you have a question remember it needs to be able to be answered with a yes or a no. Use the 'comments' button to ask a question, and I'll do the same to reply!

There are a carrot, a pile of pebbles, and a pipe lying together in the middle of a field.How did they get there?

Dreams by Jared Chin

Jazz music flows through my head

As I drift off to sleep,a 

Raging battle forms in my mind and 

Every bit of it takes my imagination to the most

Dramatic places i could never create. Then my dream

            

Changes into a ceremony at  the school

Hall and Mr Sibson

Is about to hand my best to N.Z maths award, but then

Nothing happens. I wake up to see the morning sun.

Niamhs acrostic

Not a person in sight.

I sneak out to my bunny.

As the clock strikes midnight

My Bunny cuddles up with me.

Hope she doesn't smell the fish we had for dinner.

So much fun there is to

 Have,At ,midnight no-one is awake,

Under the stars at night,

loads of time left,Not morning yet,

Morning is still hours away,

Even more fun, Clovers to be eaten,

If time runs out, i'll say goodbye,

so lets cuddle some more,

Till early morning,

Injoy my stay,

right its morning,goodbye bunny .
