Max and Josh's poem, MAGIC STUFF!

MAGIC STUFF

I’m brewing up a special mix
From old wet nuts, and dry weet-bix,
Oil and paint, brussel sprouts,
Giant sticks, whale spouts,
Mouldy cabbage, twenty snails,
A fish scale, dead dog’s tail,
Old mans boogers, crunchy stew,
And when it’s done this special brew,
Is absolutely guaranteed-
Just one spoonful’s all you’ll need,
To take on something big and shrink it,
But will my younger sister drink it.

Harry Potter at cinemas for the 7^th time

By Josh Hyde

People are racing in to see the new Harry Potter movie. It opened October and its been a big rush to see it. Josh Hyde aged 10 had this to say “It is the best movie ever. Some people found it scary but I found it hilarious and interesting.” After these comments the people who were listening rushed in to see it. When people came out they talked to us. “We heard gasping popcorn falling people laughing. We absolutely loved it.” they said. John Hyde (45) had this to say “I laughed I gasped it was very good. Next we interviewed people about their favourite part. “I liked the fight at the Malfoys.” Stated Josh Hyde”. “I liked the part when they destroyed the Horcrux.” Says John Hyde. We recommend you see this movie at Hoyts or Rialto.

Busy Room 6!

Hi there everyone!

Wow, havent you been busy people! I am loving the sound of these Tropical Islands to go for a holiday, I would sure love to go to one of them!

I hope your planting and plants are all growing well. I'm sure they will be in this beautiful weather we are having. I am enjoying this lovely sunshine but some days it is almost getting a little bit hot for me and the big bump!

All is well at my house, Joe just had his birthday last week, and we are waiting patiently for the baby to arrive!

It is great to be able to see all this fantastic work you are doing. Keep up the great work and enjoy the last few weeks of term.

See you soon

Island Paradise

My luxury island is half tropical paradise and half skiing pardise. On the tropical side, it has an awsome water park and a five * hotel with a restaurant and a casino. On the skiing side, you can (obviously) go skiing and snowboarding and have snowmen making contests.

-Matt

My ( Cayden's ) luxury island resort has the biggest and the best hotel in the world. It has bedrooms under water and on top of water. What can beat 20 star hotel ?

My island is Monster Enegy Island with a massive luxury.
My partner is Callum and our island is good for families because there is luxury and fun fmx and bmx tracks and pools and theme parks and free food and clothes.

COMPUTER TASK

A couple days ago we started to think with a partner what our dream island could be like. First we started planing it in our books. Some people got a whopping 2 pages of ideas. Second we had a plan on the computer. Then it was the real deal - we got on to the computer and we started to make the offical brochure. Did I tell you Mrs Dykes is going to choose her favourite island she wants to go. She says she loves luxury. ( She may not like our island - it's got heaps of energy drinks )
Callum

Whose Dream Island will I want to visit ? Your brochure will be the key to enticing me to choose yours. ( Hint - I like luxury ! )

Plants 'n' Potatoes

In room 6, we have been studying plants. We have also been planting our own and making 'potato pets'. Here are some pictures. -Matt
P.S. I put in the photos:)

cricket fun day

We went to the cricket fun day at the Edgar Centre. We played three games and at the end we got a goody bag. It was really fun. Harry

We walked into the Edgar Centre fizzing with excitement. We sat down on the courts and got told where we were going to play our first game of cricket and then straight away we ran off to our first game. After our first game we had morning tea so we would have enough energy to play our last two games. When our last game had finished we sat down on the courts again and we all got given a goody bag. The cricket fun day was alot of fun. Sinead

Wednesday 17 Nov

We now have action on our blog ! We'll be able to record some of the cool stuff we've been doing in class, like the growing plants, the potato men, cricket, art etc. I'm relying on you children to be able to put photos on the blog, and you can all have a turn at writing about some of the things we've been doing. I hope you've all got friends/relatives who will want to follow what you've been up to. Who wants to go first ?

Speech Competitions August

On Wednesday the 18th of August Sinead, Kymberlee and Olivia were chosen to compete in the speech competition. This year our speeches had to be about topic to argue about. We got marked on how we spoke. We all had learnt our speeches off by heart but some people from Outram hadn’t. We all were very nervous but we still succeeded well. Then after everyone had spoken they had a prize giving. Olivia came 1st in the year 6 competition. But on Thursday we had found out that Kymberlee came 3rd. The people in the photo (from left) Tayla, Olivia and Katie. Tayla came 1st = in the Year 7 competition. Katie won the Year 8 competition and also won best speaker overall. Olivia won the Year 6 competition

Basketball Tournament

In the weekend, 12th June, I had a basketball tournament in gore. We got there on Friday night had a meeting, supper and went to bed. We got up early in the morning. It was freezing cold and we had to play South Canterbury at 10am. We had to get up have breakfast and get ready for the game. When we got there it was just a tin shed with a court in it. So it was freezing. We got our boots on warned up we were all tired. I started on the bench. I went on when were losing. I was sitting there waiting to get subbed on. I was so nervous. I walked on, I was passed the ball I dribbled it down the court. I passed the ball cut in but the pass wasn’t there. We scored. They were dribbling down, we got the steal. I sprinted down got the pass and scored. After a while I got subbed off. I did not get back on. We started to make a come back. There was twenty seconds left it was their ball they scored. There was ten seconds left and a kid from my team put up a big hook shot. It went high in the air then it dropped down and went and went straight through the hoop. They passed the ball in but the buzzer went. The ref said five minutes of overtime. It was our ball. The other team only had four players because some were fouled off. After two minutes anther got fouled off. So they had three players left. We won in overtime by six points. What a win!
We got warm and got back to camp. We had our next game at 6pm. We had to go watch the A team play. They smashed their team so we did not watch it all. We got back to camp and had lunch. We got to go on the flying fox but it was too cold for me. I was not allowed on the slide because I had my singlet and shorts on. We got ready for our game against Southland. We got into our car and left. When we got there we got ready to start. After the first quarter we found out there best player. I scored again. I got lots of game time in that game. We won by a bit. Then we were in the final the next day. We had to play the A team. We got nearly no sleep because a kid keep talking. We got to the court and got ready to play. We lost the tip. It was even near the start but they got on a roll and we could not stop them. I got heaps of game time. We lost by forty five points. We had a prize giving at the end. We got a Moro bar and certificate and the A team got a drink and certificate. We got our gear and headed home. An Awesome weekend!
