Ice Cream

Ice Cream
After scooping the freezing ice delicacy it made my mouth water and want, no need for more. Feeling the antarctic iciness my mouth becomes a frozen igloo. It’s hypothermic temperature distributed to it’s sweet and tender flavour. It’s luscious colours not only blended but clashed, like two tidal waves becoming one. Tasting this upmost luxury is one of the most treasured moments anyone can have.

Ice Cream!

Ice Cream
I love gobbling down the sweet, creamy and freezing vanilla goodness. It drips slowly down my fingers and numbs my frozen teeth. I nibble on the sweet golden cone and try to savour every drop. The coolness gives me such pleasure on a scorching hot summer day. I draw the delicious flake out of its white fluffy dream and plop it into my watering mouth. This delicious treat is definitely the best ever snack in the world!

Random Riddle

There was a cat in the middle of the road and there were no street lights on and no house lights on.  A car came whizzing down the road then swerved around the cat.  How did he know that the cat was there?

The Hunger Games

Recently, for reading the Yr 7's have been doing a literature circle to the book, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Each Wednesday they have the Literature Circle meeting.This is when they share their work they have done about the Hunger Games. Each time we read a couple of chapters and then do the sheet. Each person has a job they do for example, Connector, Passage Picker, Discussion Director, Word Master, Illustrator and Summariser.

The Yr 7's are really enjoying the book and can't wait to finish the book and read the rest of the series.

For Squash they go to the Rakaia Domain Squash courts. They go for half the day.

The Gymnastics is up in Christchurch at the Olympia Gymnasium. They are up there for half the day.

The Golf is held at the school and then at the Rakaia Golf course. They do it for half a day.

We are all having a great time and we enjoy having the opportunity to have a fun day out of school!
