Week+7

Today we got our Qauil! We have one male and one female. We can't decide on what to call them so we are having a vote, go on room28 home page and there'll be a list of names. Please vote for Popett and Perry ( I voted for them! ) The male qauil is always scampering around in the sandy cage where as the female qauil is always tucked up in the little hut, I suspect she has been traumatized by the loud voices! We also did 20 minutes of silent reading, I read a book called Around The Twist by Paul Jennings, It's pretty funny!

Today we got told which electives group we were going to be in for the next four weeks! I am in drama with Mrs Watts ( Harveys Mum ) It is really fun! Last week I was in Trash To Treasure, and I was with Amy, Halle and Alex, and this year I'm with Amy, Halle and Alex! One game that we played in drama was called Props, It was really fun, what you had to do was you all went in a circle and Mrs Watts would hand out one object and you had to think of something it could be and you can't do the same thing as the other, there are to props going round and there was a long black rubber thing ( I think it was from a car ) and I wrapped it around my neck and said it was a scarf! We also talked about fundraising for something ( maybe Christchurch ) but we don't now, please buy something from mightyape.co.nz because 5% of it will come to Sport Gulf Harbour. The war of qauil names is still going on, please vote for Poppett and Perry!

Today we did P.E, for P.E I played a game of handball with Halle and Hannah. At one point we tried to play handball with pingpong bats, but that didn't ork out to well! People who didn't want to do hanball could do soccer or this game where you have a pingpong bat and a tennis ball and you try to keep bouncing the tennis ball on the bat and see how many bounces you can do! We also did silent reading for 15 minutes, I'm still reading Round The Twist, I read 23 pages today. At lunch the people who tried out for netball had to go to the courts for a netball meeting, but it was only the people who got into the top two teams. We didn't run around we just had a chat, so that we couold figure stuff out, and guess what after the netball meeting I had to go to touch practise!

Today we had library in the 3rd block, I didn't get a book out because I already have a book I'm reading at home so I just brought it to school so I could read it during library time. In the library there are four big puffy chairs that everyone races to get to! I had one last week so I didn't mind letting Andrea take my place! In the second block we had a list of things we needed to finish such as, Peer Evaluation, Christchurch 3 Star Criteria, and if you had finished all of those ( like I had! ) you could start drawing the outline of your character from the Hans Christian Anderson stories. I was chosen to draw the little mermaid ( Miss Mayall helped draw the outline. ) Once I finished drawing The Little Mermaid, I started typing my story The Mystery Of The Missing Bear on my wiki, it's not finished if you're wondering!

Today was sausage sizzle day! Except it should have been called hamburger day because they sold: Hamburgers, Chesseburgers, Sausages, Ice blocks and drinks. At morning tea there was loads of baking! I had two dollars to spend, I spent it on a chocolate cupcake with mini marshmellows on top, and two mellow puffs stuck together with icing with MnM's on top.We had buddy class aswell, my buddy wasn't there so I was with Rosie and Crystal, we did maths, spelling and we played on the playground, we did a bit of drawing but didn't get to finish because we had to tidy up.
