William's Poem

W hispering stream lures my body

I dling through picturesque country

L eaning down the steep corners

L abyrinth of tracks

I nhaling deeply

A zure skies shine down upon my helmet

M agical scenery races past me

Hot Air Ballooning

In our class we are making hot air balloons with Mr Neal. Yesterday we made the canopy. Today we are melting the candles onto the tin foil and attaching the straws. Yesterday we tested Mr Neal's hot air balloon named "Casper" outside on the tennis court. Casper inflated, lifted off the ground ever so slightly then went up in flames. Mr Neal said it was a step towards success. Today when everyone has completed their balloons we plan to test them outside on the tennis court. 

My old oilskin hat

My hat, my favourite old oilskin hat, With its torn edges and fraying strap, I love it. When I wear it I become my five year old self again, pretending to be a battle hardend soldier, saving random people from the pretend enemy.I feel sorry for my loyal old hat, with it forever waiting for me to return it to my warm comforting head.

Graveyard Spotlight

On Thursday the 10th of February, Kotuku class went to the Upper Moutere church hall for an overnight stay. We played spotlight in the graveyard at night. It was fun, but a little bit spooky.
