Laura's Kiwi Golf Story

Kiwi Golf

On Monday the 15th March we played golf with Melanie. First she talked about how to hold a golf club. Then she put us in groups of three. We had to hit the big orange ball. Melanie said, when I blow my whistle you hit the ball. I went to stand by the tee and picked up the golf club. Then she blew her whistle and I smacked the ball. It didn’t go very far. Next we had to hit the tennis ball. When it was my turn I hit the ball like a cupcake falling off the table. On my second try I smacked the ball into the air and it whizzed like a rocket. I was as happy as a dog when it goes for walks. The next ball was a rubber golf ball. It was hard to get it to stay on the tee. When it stayed on I picked up the club and put my hands the right way and I smacked the ball into space like a meteor. That day I learnt how to hold the golf club the write way round and how to hit different sized balls.

Jack's Story About Room 5's Library Sing Along

This term my class went to the library to sing. We did it because it was NZ music month while we were singing people were taking photos.


I thought we were awesome at singing because we were clearly and respectfully. Suddenly we were finished then we left. We got two vouchers to use there. The people were so proud they thought we were brilliant.

Anahera's Softball Story

SOFTBALL


Yesterday we went to over to the Rec, to do some softball with Mrs Burns. We got put into groups. My group did the batting first and the others did the fielding. Some people tapped the ball gently and others smacked it hard. We had to wear a helmet when batting and a big glove when we were fielding, and it was as hard as fighting a bear! We had to run around the bases as fast as lightning. Some people were sprinting past me like a cheetah. We had a wonderful time learning some softball skills. Thank you Mrs Burns!

Josh's Write up about Choir 2010

2010 Music Festival

On the 17th and 18th of June we had a music festival at Hislop Hall in Mosgiel. We sang just one person, Seasons of love, for good, E hoki mai ra, national anthem, Michael Jackson medley and our own school Abba medley. The first songs we sang were the national anthem and E hoki mai ra.

Then the orchestra played the imperial march. Taieri College then did their own songs. Then we sang for good and seasons of love. I was really nervous and scared. Next it was our medley. I got up and slowly walked onto stage. We started singing. I was so nervous that I nearly wet my pants. We went back on stage and silver stream sang their songs. Then everyone stood up and we sang just one person and the Michael Jackson medley.

For just one person the lights went off and we had one glow stick waving round on stage. At the end there were millions of glow sticks waving on stage. My Mum said it looked amazing. Then we finished off with the last schools doing their medleys. The farewell song was for good. Then we finished.

Lilly's Mossbrae Story

Mossbrae visit 19/3/10
On Friday my class and I went to Mossbrae rest home. We walked there with our eggs (being very careful). By that time my egg had cracked, but Stacy gave her surgery! When we got there we walked like we were so excited down the hallway, waving to people in their rooms. Once we got to their lounge we sat down smiling away. Mrs Dillon asked if anyone would like to say something about their egg. Jaylah stood up and said something about her egg. We started to sing our songs. At the end we sang John Browns baby and they absolutely loved it! The elderly were smiling so much! Then we went around and showed our eggs! I was telling the residents what had happened to my egg and asked them if they were having a good day. Jaylah and I got left behind so we were racing a lady in a wheel chair! The Mossbrae visit was exciting and a great experience.
