The 4 weeks of gym

For the last four weeks on a Wednesday Rooms 10 and 11 have been going to QE11 gym to do beam, floor, tramp and pit. In week 4 we went to gym and had so much fun. My favorite activity was jumping and flipping into the pit. In Week 4, the last week we had a pit race and my team won, "YAY" we all shouted!

Wearable Arts 2009

There was a roar of excitement at the Ngaio Marsh Theatre on Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th of August.

Fendalton Open-air School displayed a magnificent performance, all with humour, costumes, class dances and an additional New Zealand extra at the end.

The performance, called Absolutely Aotearoa was made by the children receiving little help from adults. The children performed 3 performances there were six categories. These were introduced by six dances from each class.

All costumes had to fit in one of the six categories.

The costumes were spectacular a giant buzzy bee appeared in Natural NZ and the sky tower appeared in ManMade NZ.

The dances introduced each category like Room 11's Canterbury dance where tourists ran onto the stage and a try where the performers fell of the stage.

Great fun Family night out.

Black Sticks vs. India

On Thursday I was lucky enough to be able to go with my hockey team to Porrit Park.

New Zealand was on a winning streak yesterday at Porrit Park. Though it was really cold under the grandstand, it was a beautiful day outside.

New Zealand started to get tired in the 2nd half and score no goals.

India scored 2 goals 1 in the first half and 1 in the 2nd half.

New Zealand scored at 5.00 on the clock until half time.

That night some Fendalton people were on 3 news.

Brainteaser 6- Wet weather

Four friends were walking back home together after leaving the pub. It started to rain so they began to run. Three of them got soaking wet hair, but one of them didn't, even though he was not wearing a hat or carrying an umbrella; neither did he stop to take shelter.

RNZAF Helicopter Visit

 Guess what happened on Friday, we had a surprise visit from an Royal NZ Air Force Helicopter. It was really windy and leaves were blowing everywhere.It was very exciting that a lady was winched down onto the cricket pitch.  At the end we got to go into the helicopter.
