Lamb and Calf Day - Making Money

Last week on Lamb and Calf Day we had stalls to try and make money. We had cool stalls selling toys, food, bouncy balls, books and DVDs. We also had games and competitions for people to enter. Turanga Team made almost $450 on Lamb and Calf Day. We are so proud of ourselves. We plan to use some of the money to buy presents for the K Mart wishing tree. We are also going to have an end of year treat for our team. Also on Lamb and Calf Day some of us showed Lambs and Calves. People could win trophies and ribbons and everyone who entered got a rosette. All the classes had made crafts, and some were very impressive!

News Report

People in Christchurch got hit by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake at 4.35 am Saturday 4 September. Now there are big cracks in the ground. Houses got damaged really badly. It struck 30 km west of the city. People can't use water because the water system is closed. A teenage boy went to sleep and when he woke up he was outside. Some bricks fell on him from the chimney. Houses were left on leans. Train tracks are bent. Roads are closed because they have big cracks in them.

Room 14' s Drummer

On Friday, Ciaran performed the drums in the Ashhurst School assembly. Everyone thought the performance was fantastic! Here is what Georgia thought of it.

On Friday Ciaran played the drums. It was sad because Miss Gregory was away. She was sick. When we got there Ciaran was so nervous. But Ciaran had a talent. Playing the drums. He was rocking out. I did not know that he could be so good. BOG BOOM SHACH. Then the crowd went silent and suddenly... CLAP CLAP CLAP!!!

Room 14 was so proud of Ciaran especially me.

Moko The Bottle Nose Dolphin

I turned on the TV. One news was on. I was so sad when I heard Moko the bottle nose dolphin had died. Heaps of children were crying. He was buried in Taupo beach. But I know now that Moko the dolphin was in the children's hearts. But the children had little Mokos. After that a tear fell down my eye. Drip drop drip drop.
