Book Review, Gone

Gone by Michael Grant Gone is a story about a small town in California where one day everyone fifteen and over disappears. Without the BOOM! or the BANG! They just disappeared, POOOFED. But it's not all fun and games for the survivors. As a small but powerful group takes over the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone) the question is; is it for the right reasons? Gone is a MUST read series. A story where loyalties and responsibilities are tested. For anyone who loves The Hunger Games and Tomorrow When The War Began you will definately and completely love and admire Gone. Suitable for kids 11 and over. By: Thea

Athletics

On the 26th of October 2011 we are having Athletics at Rakaia school. We are all excited to compete and a little bit nervous. We are competing in Discus, Shot Put, Sprints, Long Jump, High Jump and Long Distance Running. We have been practising hard. In the morning we practise Discus, Shot Put, Sprint, High Jump, Long Jump and in the afternoon we practise Long Distance. We are also waiting eagerly for that day to come. Thea

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.

Painting Kurus

Team Toroa has been learning how to blend on backgrounds and shade on korus. We have been learning to draw korus and coloring them in, by blending and shading. Our korus represent our individual families. It has been fun painting. We feel very proud of what we have accomplished, because it is our try without practice.
