CHGHS Soccer

"Goal, yes I got it in"

"Well done guys" 

Today girls from Girl's High came to teach us  soccer skills for the fourth and final time.

We worked in groups of six with two girl's high leaders.

We learnt how to dribble, pass, shoot, tackle and attack.

We all enjoyed it very much.

Centrals Cross Country

On Wednesday Ben, Matt, and Goldie  competed in the  Centrals cross country at Halswell Quarry. 

The weather was pretty good for running.There were over 100 kids in every race.The course had some tuff  hills in it. I was glad I wasn't in the seniors race because they had to do the longer loop.To make the Canterbury  team for Nelson you had to finish in the top 10. Ben came 26 Matt came 41 and Goldie came 49. Over all we were happy with our achievements.    By Ben

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.

COCA Clay Workshop

 Last Wednesday we went to COCA art gallery. We looked at a craft exhibition and we had to match close up photos to the real things. The categories were: ceramics, jewelery, fabric, furniture, woodwork and metal. 

After that we went into the workroom. All of us were really exited! Nikki gave a talk about clay and how to make the clay into dishes. Soon after that we started planning what our dishes would look like. I decided to use an oval as a template. After we cut out our clay we chose patterns to press on the clay.

When we had done that we sponged the edges to make them smooth. Then we rolled little balls to put underneath.

I can't wait until they are fired.

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.

Goldie's Soap Carving

On Friday the one and only Mr Kaukau came in and taught us

how to soap carve.

First we had a big talk about the Maoris, our ancestors and Nemo the fish!!

Next it was morning tea. After that we started to carve. Mine was looking really bad at the start. And by the way Matt's fell on the ground and broke in half.

When we carved Mr Kaukau sang and we laughed as well. Next we had to carve  around the rain drop. That was hard!! 

Then we had to flatten the sides. That bit was fun. But as you could guess I was doing it wrong so I had to get some help. Next we had to us a C chisel to put the paua in. When I had chosen the to best pieces I put them in.  Then I carved my korus into my soap and that showed my brother and me.  That was another day with Mr Kaukau.
