We won 5-a-side soccer!

Last night our 5-a-side soccer team beat the Waiuku Primary School Rovers 2-0! Hamish scored both goals and Cody missed a lot of goals.
It was great to win becasue we are the only unbeaten team.
Chris plays goalie and he only had a couple of shots coming at him, and he saved them all.
One of the girls in the other team scored, but it was inside the D, so it didn't count - Chris nearly got to it though!

Two Golds too good!

We won gold twice in a row for our spelling in the morning - one for an oral test and one for a written test. As soon as they got to school, Chris and AJ tested each other.
It was like winning gold in the Commonwealth Games!

Spelling Man!


Since joining Room 14 at the beginning of Term 3, Cody has been doing his spelling and has got 1 gold medal, 2 silver medals and 4 bronze medals.

Cody writes fast and neat, and aims to be the first one to finish. Since he got 4 bronze, Cody wants to get 2 more silvers and 3 more golds.

His strategy is to get to class and start to spelling before school, and hopefully to get first.

Good luck Cody!

Gardners take action!

R14 have been listening to Ken Ring's weather predictions, because he is a very accurate weather man, and he has predicted that we will have a drought this summer.
So the R14 gardners have discussed this with their whanau and decided to re-use water from their washing machines and their bath water, when they wash their dishes .
They are going to find out about mulching and how and why to use it.

5-aside Soccer

Last night we won 4-1 against Waiau Pa. In our first game we won 5-2 from Travis' own goal when he tried to head it away, it went into the back of the net.
Chris is our keeper and we don't really have positions in the outfield. We swap around so its fair, so everyone gets a turn to strike.
Some of the rules are that if you are the keeper, you can't kick the ball over halfway without it bouncing in your own half.
Another rule is that there are no throw-ins, only kicks, and you can't score from your own half or inside the D.
Our next game is against WPS Tom and MacKenzies' Rovers and we expect to win.

Tom achieves Silver!

I feel proud to achieve silver in my worst subject - Spelling!
I started before school and I'm proud that I had good accuracy.
My next goal is to get gold in Spelling next week.
