The Mysteries of Harris Burdick...

The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.....by Chris van Allsbury

Mr Linden's Library....He had warned her about the book.  Now it was too late.

We had to use our imagination and think what this book could be called, why were the vines growing out of the book? We used the iPad to enlarge the picture and wrote down everything we could see...

What do you think this book was called?






Planting Daffodils at Rāwhiti Domain...

Last Friday we went planting daffodil bulbs.  First we walked from school down to Rāwhiti Domain. When we go there we found the man who was going to help us.  He told us about plants and planting. A woman was waiting to talk to us about the project.  She told us who they were and how to plant the daffodils.

We found some tools (shovels, trowels and bulb planters).  It was good fun using the bulb planters because they were like pogo sticks!  We planted lots of bulbs and I also planted a few Bluebells as well.

We were so tired out after too!  We are all looking forward to seeing the flowers when spring comes. We had lots of fun!  By Rosie







Adam & Eve Show Behind the Scenes at Outautahi Roller Derby...

We were very excited to have Adam and Eve visit our skating training at Linwood College.  They practised their skating and stopping.  Adam fell over a few times, but he picked himself up and tried again.

After mastering some of the basic skating skills they had a go and playing some 'real' roller derby.

Here's some 'behind' the scenes photos and footage...
