The Gigantic Pool

On Monday 7th of March Brightwater Middle Syndicate went to the big, deep, Wakefield School pool. People could race or have a teriffic fun time. The pool was gigantic and enormous. We did cool backstroke and fast freestyle.
Mostly everyone did three great things. Seniors and good swimmers went at 9.00 sharp and the Middles went straight after morning tea. It was tiring and breathtaking. Some people struggled and were nervous. We did starfish and had fantastic free time. It was a great time. Charlie

Class Pool Party

On Friday Room 5 had a pool party for our class treat at the school pool. We could bring along blow up toys, lilos, water guns and balls. Ellie T brought along a huge air bed to play on. It was a bit cold but we got used to it after a while. Some people got out early to get dressed. The pool was stuffed with toys! We had 30 minutes for our pool party. I played with my friends.
Everyone had a great time when we had our pool party!

National Red and Black Day

Today the whole country is dressing up in red and black because of the deadly quake that hit Christchurch last Tuesday. People are giving a coin donation at supermarkets and schools, and all of the money is going to the Red Cross and to the Christchurch residents for food and water. Civil defense base grounds are all around the Christchurch district helping people.
Room 5 are all dressed up in red and black for Canterbury and we donated $68.60.
