Silver Ferns v Jamaica

Hi everyone

On the 18th of August the Silver Ferns are going to v Jamaica and it's going to be really awesome. I'm going to the game with my Mum. And we might buy some stuff. I'm also going to get Irene Van Dyk's autograph because she's a friend of my Dad's because Dad works on the plane as a host so when ever she goes on the plane they chat.

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.

Kaiapoi Music Festival (Choir)

On Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd of June was the Kaiapoi Music Festival at Kaiapoi Bourough school. It was AWESOME! The Woodend instrumental group came to play some music as well. After the concert we got chocolate fish & lollies. On Monday Mr Barber (principal of Woodend School) came to do some speaking and on Tuesday the principal of Kaiapoi North School came to do some speaking too. We sang: Proud Mary, Taku Papawira, Six Months in a Leaky Boat, Swing Low Sweet Chariot, Daisy Bell, This Train, Chatanooga Choo Choo, Row Row Row Your Boat, Yellow Submarine, Up Up and Away, Sailing, Little Deuce Coupe and the National Anthem.The other schools got to sing at least two songs of their own. Also the Kaiapoi North School instrumental group got to perform as well. It was a lot of memorizing, but it was the most funnest thing I've ever experienced in my life!!!!

Librarians

Hi everybody

It's so fun being a librarian because you get to shelve books, tidy things up and get to use the computer. I like to issue and return books for people. One day all of you should try and be a librarian because it's so amazing. Do you like books? Well if you do I love them. I always read at night from 7:oo to 8:00pm. Because I love to read!

So it's amazing to be a librarian.

Sporty Day!

Last Wednesday was a busy, sporty day at Woodend.

In the morning, all the students participated in the Cross Country. I was so impressed with how everyone joined in and gave it their best, whether they were running as part of a relay team or in the individual races.

Special congratulations to the following Room 13 students who did outstandingly in their age groups: Jenna (1st), Sammi (3rd) and Karl (1st) and Nic (3rd). They are all off to run at Kaiapoi tomorrow and Jenna will be competing in the Zones also. Awesome!

Later, in the afteroon, we all went to watch the senior soccer team play against Kaiapoi. A special TV crew were there to film it and we got to practise our awesome cheerleading skills!
