Super Speech Star!

Our very own Mikayla has been travelling to different schools to tell about her Grandad!...... for her speech topic. Mikayla went up against other students at East Gore School and came in first place, round two involved her competing against other schools in the Gore community and came away with another successful win. Yesterday she competed in round 3 at the 'Interschools speech contest' and was placed second - she competed against 20 different schools!!

Amazing Mikayla!

Good Luck for next Thursday at the SOUTHLAND FINALS! (Our fingers are crossed)

Hockey Star!

Recently Millie from Kowhai has been away on a hockey tourament. The Eastern Collier A team travelled to Ashburton - they played 6 games and won 4 of the games, drew 1 and lost 1. The teams they were up against were from Canterbury.
They stayed at the Recency Motel - it had a 'cool down' pool - it was freezing. One brave girl managed to dive into the pool and for her brave effort got a bag of lollies!
What a cool experience.

Well done Millie!!

Daffodil Day

Thank you to all the families that supported Daffodil Day by donating a gold coin last Friday. It was exciting to see some familiar faces in The Ensign on Wednesday.

$131.60 was raised and has been deposited into the 'Otago and Southland Cancer' area account.

It was cool to see so much yellow and orange on Daffodil Day!

Well Done!!

If I could be a animal I would be.

If I could be an animal I would be...

If I could be a animal I would be a beautiful brown horse. I could canter around in the padock all day while my mane is swishing in the cool summer air. I wouldn't have to brush my fur and when some one is annoying me I could buck them in the head!!!

And the last cool thing about being a horse is that in the summer I can run around with all of the sweet little wild bunnies.

The bad thing about being a horse is that during the freezing cold winter I can't go into someone's nice warm home with a warm cup of hot milo and sit right beside the burning hot fire. I would also have to pull lots of heavy carts, but then I can win first place in a world cup horse race!!!

Cartooning!

Here is some of our cartooning we have started in class. We have been learning about using different dialogue bubbles to give our characters effect.
We were given the challenge of placing one of the characters from the Wizard of OZ into a different world from the world that they know.

Here the Tin-Man is enjoying the sun!
