Gumboot and Umbrella Day

Today we got to dress up in our team colours and walk to school.

Fred's Tread lightly Caravan Recount

Guess what?

Today I learnt that there is real gold in old computers. It is not very easy to find gold in computers it's only in their brains or batteries. Only do it to old computers so don’t throw away old dusty useless broken lifeless computers. You can find heaps of uses for old computers.

Rachel's Recount

I was so nervous I felt butterflies in my tummy. Do you know why I was so nervous? It was because it was the cross country day. We had our cross country on Friday.9^th of September. The cross country was for yrs 2-6. We the yr 5s had to run for 2 and a half lap around the top field and the bottom field. I felt terrible thinking I might come last. In my whole life I have never came 1^st in cross country, so my goal was to try to be 1^st.

Rugby World Cup

The Classes at Sunnybrae Normal School have been given a team to adopt for the rugby world cup. Because we are in the seniors we have been given two teams, they are USA and England. The students have all chosen one country to support and will wear their colours on Gumboot and Umbrella day.

Good luck USA and England try your best at the Rugby World Cup!

But of course we are still supporting the All Blacks as well!

Rachel's Sports Exchange Recount

“This is fun”! It was our Sports Exchange day we had 4 sports that we could play. Netball, Soccer, Rugby and Tapuae. I chose to play netball because I love netball. We played against St Marys. They were good at netball.

Ok, now should I tell you how the game was going? Ok...I was so excited to play netball but when the game started I was really nervous. In the first quarter of the game St Marys were winning. In the middle of the first quarter my finger started to bleed. It hurt a lot. Luckily Georgia from Room11 gave me a band aid so I felt better. Unfortunately Sunnybrae lost all their games. Even though we lost all our games we all had a fun time.

Chess competition Recount

Chess Competition.

“Oh no is this guy good?” On Wednesday morning the A team and the B team from chess went to Wairau Intermediate for a chess competition. We went there at 8:25. Caleb, Alan, Rodney and Bill were in A team. The A team went in Caleb’s Mums car. Me, Ryan, Mark and Chris were in the B team. We had to ride Mrs Thumath’s car. When we went there, we arrived before Caleb’s mum. When Mrs Thumath was telling us the rules Ryan got in trouble because he was wandering around everywhere.

We went in and the game started. I was nervous. When i looked around there was 3 people I knew.

I lost three times, won two times and drawed once. I lost because I had to VS a higer leveled guy. When I lost two times I got more nervous. So my friend went to the tuck shop and brought me sweets. I said “thank you.”

When all the games were finished we played ‘only two times walk on floor tag.‘ At last the score came out, I was scared. I pushed people to look at the score but ... our team came 24th and the other team came 9th. We came 24th but it was still FUN !!!
