Mr Hayes

Mr Hayes is an 82year old man who was robbed. Some teenaged girls stole two of his cars and many other things from his house. It went for a very long time. Finally the police caught the tenagers and they are now in court. We thought it was a very wrong thing to do. So we dediced to fundraise for him. We put together a bake sale and we raised $200 for him and our whole class made cards to brighten up his house.

Althletics Day

LastWednesday the 21st  November our whole school got together and did a Althletics day. That day was so much fun. We did high and long jump,discus and shot put. We also did 100,200,400,800,1,500 meter runs. At the end of the day we all got together again and each house ran a relay year 7 and year 8 girls and boys.  We also had the finalists from each year group boys and girls who got into the finals competed against the other finalists. Our althletics day was so much Fun!

On one side we have got monkey bars, witchs hats, a wobbly bridge and a metal net. On the other side there is stepping bridge, monkey bars, climbing wall and absailing wall.

War Senses Poem

Leaving Home

My family and loved ones behind me as I am leaving.

The delicious smell of the food and baking we were eating.

Screaming and crying as soldiers march off to war.

I have a sick feeling because I don’t know if I will return home.

  Horrible, rock hard 

 rationed biscuits.

I think war will be a terrible

         place to be.
