On Wednesday 25 August 2010 the teachers played the A Netball Team. The teachers were wearing clown wigs and dressed in black to represent the Silver Ferns. The A team wore hula skirts. Claire Smolinski from South Canterbury Netball came out to referee the game so that the teachers and A team had no influence over the referee (but this didn't work as the A team bought her off)! Megan, Mrs Rush and Mrs O'Toole played for the teachers. It took a long time to get the first goal, this was scored by the teachers. All the supporters were cheering for the A Team! Lyn and Adele played for the A team, Lyn cheated by coming on but not subbing anyone off. The teachers won 6-4.

On Monday 16 of August we went to Tekapo for our Ice Skating Trip. I went with my sister Sophie, my mum Sonya and my dad Andy. We went there to do ice skating, hot pools and the snow park. Most of the school went. First I went on the snow park with Sophie, Grace, Rosa and Naeve. I got a fast tube, it was really fast. Then I had to try and get up the hill, it took ages but dad helped me up, so I got there before Grace. After that we went ice skating. I fell over once, I tried to keep up, but I couldn't. We played Dancing on Ice. Next we went back on the snow park. Later we went in the hot pools and we played a mermaid game. I had a purple tail, Grace had a purple tail, Rosa had a rainbow tail, Eva had a rainbow tail and Sophie had a purple tail. Lastly we went back to the ice skating rink but we didn't have much time on it because they were cleaning it up. I liked the day in Tekapo because we had lot's of fun.

This term we are looking at Healthy Eating. We have made collage fruit to stick into a fruit bowl, we choose between banana's, apples, grapes, oranges and pears. We are writing instructions to make healthy foods and have already made Smoothies. We learnt that we had to write clear instructions and include all the steps, especially putting the lid on the blender, not to put the cup in the blender and to peel all the fruit. We are now going to look at making a healthy lunch food like a baked potato or maybe yoghurt, we haven't decided yet!
