Well done everyone on getting to the end of Term 2.

You have all put in a huge effort in this very wintry term and deserve a long break.

It would be lovely to hear what you guys are getting up to in the holidays so make sure you post comments and let us know how you are.

The choir festival

Some people in our class are in choir and we got to sing at the Kaipoi choir festival with other schools including Belfast, Kaipoi North, Kaiapoi South and of course Woodend school. It was so much fun. My favourite song was Chatanooga choochoo and Proud Mary. Me and Carlee did a dance for Taku Papiwira. It's a skate song. We had so much fun wearing the skate clothes.

Term 2

This term we did some cool stuff like planting bulbs and buddies. My favourite part was planting bulbs because I got to plant the last bulb. It was fun because now we have a secret garden. We haven't gone in it for ages. From Nic.

My favourite part of term two

My favourite part of term two was when we did our risk taking week because one of my risks was I had to hang up side down for two minutes. I knew when my two minutes was up because I was wearing my watch but Courtney was timing me too.

We're Best Friends

Brooke & Jessica are best friends! We're planning to do heaps of activities. We're planning to go horse riding & to the movies. I might have a sleepover at her house or the other way! I gave her a friendship bracelet. I have one too, but we really want to build a tree house so we can talk all alone (without family especially our siblings!) One time I invited Brooke to McDonalds. It was magnificent! There was a playground which we played on. We ran away from my sister. It was fun!

Mr Bean's Big Day

One day Mr Bean was going for his Saturday walk, ''Right foot up then left foot up '' he said. Then

he walked past a gate. ''Woof woof!'' said a dog ''Woof woof!'' said Mr Bean With his hilarious grin,

but then ''OWWIE!!'' shouted funny Mr Bean as the dog jumped over the gate and bit him on the

bum.

Then with the dog still hanging on, he kept on walking legs high in the air, but then he stopped to

do peace to everyone who drove past. He was still doing peace when a man drove through on a cool motorbike. He saw the peace sign and the dog (still hanging on) and pulled the finger at dumb Mr Bean. But of course Mr Bean didn't know what it meant and thought it was a good thing. So in the end Mr Bean was walking around with his funny walk, cheeky grin, the dog still hanging on like a piraña, and he was pulling the finger at anyone he saw. The End.

My best part of term 2

A while ago we read The Secret Garden. It was the illustrated version. Last week and this week we have started watching the movie . We finished it today. It was 1 of my favourite movies I had watched this year.

The soccer preformance

Today Olly came to do a performance for us. He looked like a seal sometimes. It was awesome to see him doing all those tricks. And he was on What Now :)

Lear Jets

Lear Jets are like Biz Jets. There are couches and T.Vs. You can have dinner served if you're in the plane at 5-00. You get breakfast and lunch. There are Lear Jets, Rear Jets and Biz Jets. You can watch T.V, play P.S.2, P.S.3 and other stuff. There are computers and telephones so you can ring friends and other people. You can sit on couches with out seat belts and chairs. I have been told that they're the most comfortable you can fly except a Cessna 172, (they're the same as Lear Jets). Most people borrow them, some people buy them but it is more expensive. I think Lear Jets are one of the best planes but I have a few more favourites. Bye!

The trip in Term 3

On Tuesday Miss Caygill told us there was a trip in Term 3. She said we are going to Clip and Climb in the morning and Science Alive in the afternoon. Everybody was so excited that they were bringing their permission slips in the day after the day they got it.

TERM 3

Term 2 has been great! Lots of kids are looking forward to Term 3. The reason is we are starting with a "POP" "WIZ" "BANG" as we are learning about science and chemistry. The fun doesn't end there, every class will be going on a trip to Clip 'n' Climb in the morning and Science Alive in the afternoon. When our class first found out, we were so excited we were screaming! Our class will be going on Thursday in week 2. Everyone can't wait and I hope we have lots of fun.

Bulbs

A bulb is a type of plant that grows over winter and comes up at spring. A bulb is a plant in a

package with every thing it needs. It's wrapped up with its food. It eats part of itself to survive.

A bulb has a plant inside itself.

Bulbs need lots of sunlight and water. Bulbs need very loose soil. A bulb has its own food to survive. To plant a bulb it takes time and work. The tunic protects the bulb. Inside a bulb is its food called scale leaves. On the bottom of the bulb is the basal plate. When the bulb is in the ground the roots come out of the basal plate. The tunic is just like tissue. In the very middle of the bulb there's this seasons leaves and flowers. When the bulb is in the ground and it has sunlight and water the leaves of the bulb will start to push itself up to the light. It comes up from the top. It takes two to three months to plant a bulb. When you plant a bulb it has to be in the ground about 5 - 10 cm.

Bulbs are a cool and interesting plant to have in your garden.

By Shannon

We get to go to CLIP' N' CLIMB because in Term 2 for a week we learnt about taking risks so that's why we get to go to CLIP 'N' CLIMB and SCIENCE ALIVE.

My Dad and Me!

Me and my dad have a lot in common. We both like cars, trucks, music and that is why he is a D.J. So we have a lot in common and we like kind of the same things. When my dad comes home we are going to Hanmer. Mum looked up on the computer and saw the house we are staying in and it looks quite big. There are stairs and they are wooden, there is a huge lounge and some lazy boys in there too. Our family is so excited. My dad is coming home on the 3rd of July.

A Sandcastle Kingdom

Once upon a time there was a princess called Lila. She lived in a stablised sandcastle with her mum and dad [the king and queen] in Japan. One day she went to the royal pet store and bought herself an Eygptian mewo and a golden retriever. She called the cat Puke and the dog Diddy. One day she took Diddy for a walk in the royal dog park, and when she got back Puke was GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FETCH ME A BASIN, I THINK I MIGHT BE SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was time for bed. Lila was so sad she had just lost her 50th cat and they were all called Puke. She cried like a baby until midnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Then in the morning she went down to the royal pet store and bought another Eygptian mewo, and guess what? She called it Puke and then they lived happy ever after.

The end.

P.S. That cat ran away too.

Olly's tricks

Hi everyone

On the 2nd of June before fitness we had a guy called Ollie come to school.Everyone in Matai and Rimu classes had to get in a big rectangle all around the basketball court because Ollie peformed some soccer tricks. They were awesome! One of the teachers said, "If anyone wants to learn some soccer tricks put your hand up." So If did but sadly it was time to go to sport. But it was a really fun day.

The best thing about Term 2

This was my favourite part about Term 2:

My favourite part was when at maths we got to go on delicious and play fun math games. My favourite game is Tony's tires and this game when there's a penguin and you've got to find a door. The aim of the penguin game is that you've got to get all of the doors so the penguin can get some money. The aim of the game for Tony's tires is you've got to solve some maths problems and after you go and race.

So that was my favourite part of Term 2.
