Old school!!!!

Today we went to Bishops School ,it is a old school that kids use to go to years ago, it was very scary,there was a old fashioned teacher there and he had a strap,we learnt lots of things about the olden days and how strict it was.If you didnt do good handwriting you got put in the corner with the dunce hat on,this means your dumb.Jennifer got put on the dunce seat ,she pretended to cry.The teacher strapped our table because all the boys were talking.Luckily it was just pretend.When Jacob went he got very scared, mum said his eyes were nearly poping out of his head.Im pleased we dont go to school in the olden days.

Me and my Sister.

Deryn came to stay for the weekend all the way from Auckland ,she came to school and everyone thinks she is so cool,especially the girls in my class.While she was here she watched me play touch,watched all the school 100th Centenury celebrations,Jacob cutting the cake,Hayden went shopping with her,she also taught me how to make rings and gave me wire and coins so i can practise.We had a very special day at school on friday as the Library opened and Kerry Marshall came and cut the ribbon to open it,he is a very funny Major.We did lots of activities for all the ex tahana pupils that had come back for the celebrations and also Deryn was there so she got to see all the cool things we do at school now.We had a special pancake,bacon,and egg breakfast for Deryn,and also her favourite roast pork dinner,we also caught up with lovely Amy her very good friend.She didnt stay for long but it was awesome to see her.

Gala Week

Last weekend was the gala ,it was very awesome,the school made 25,000 towards the new school pool.All week we made things for the gala in art time,I made ginger bread men , it was fun,i had 5 of my friends come to my house and we made and decorated them there ,Hayden made photo frames and Jacob made a inky pencil.Gala day was very busy,i had lots of turns on the chocolate wheel with my friend we won heaps of chocolate and gorged ourselves with it, this would be the best thing about Tahuna school yet.Jacob played the coconut shy and hit three coconuts off and won a chipmunks voucher and a disposible camera.Hayden played Hoopla and won a rollerskating pass.Mum and Dad ran Hoopla all day so thank goodness Helen came and looked after us.While mum and dad had drinks after wards we all got to go on , Nelsons most amazing water slide,that just happens to be at our school,as Jacob would say,ït was totally wicked".
