Clive's Pet Day Recount

Pet day

Pet day is the day when you bring a pet to school. And the judges judge your pets. I brought a pussy cat to school. His name is Tahi. We named him Tahi because he has 1 black spot on his head. I was surprised to see so many pets there. There were lambs, calfs, dogs, cats, rabbits and horses. There was even a barbeque there was selling sausages and fizzy drinks.
But the best part was the young famers competion. You had to nail a nail in to a log of wood. Then you have to put about 10 pinecones in to a wheel barrow then zig zag around some fence posts. Then tip the pine cones in to a hula hoop then put a rubber ring around a piece of rope. After that you throw a gumboot in to a hula hoop. Then jump in to a sack then jump about five metres. After that you put up an electric fence. But last but not least you have to put up a midget gate.

Fordell School Pet Day

Last Monday we trucked in all sorts of pets; horses, calves, lambs, rabbits, dogs and bunnies. Amid the fun we had chasing the occasional run-a-way dog we also decked out Room 4 with a range of exhibits which the judges claimed were of an exceptionally high standard! The Number 1 Workshop competed fabulously, earning lots of ribbons, certificates and trophies. Imogen, Daniel, Caleb and Leuka wowed parents with their barbecuing skills while fundraising for camp. Ryan re-claimed his title of Open Calf Champion for a second year running while Nikita stole the show with her horse and her lamb Minty(who also walked around beautifully for her sister Addison in the preschool section!) Cheyann won the over-all dog champion while Ryan received a family pet trophy for his dog Tess. Keep posted for the many other hi-lights of pet day still to come!

Print Making at the Art Gallery.

Fordell School Goes Print Making!

Last Friday the whole school ventured into Wanganui to do some serious print making at the Art Gallery and Museum. Room 1 started out the day at the Gallery, making garden prints which will be part of a student exhibition in November. After lunch and a play on the steps we headed down to the Museum where we let our creative juices flow using letter and picture printing blocks and a printing press. We learnt all about mirror printing and can't wait to get our prints back once the paint has dried! A big thanks to Mrs Fraser for organising our wonderful day out!

Stranded on the top of the sky blue USA’s top preschool was Fat Zak. Fat Zak is 2 years old and he weighs 40 kg but no one knows how he got up on the blue building but him. He may look fat but his basketball skills are really incredible. He wears dark blue basketball clothes with his special green hat on his bald head, he wears no shoes and he wears bright pink bonds nappy, his number on his basketball shirt is 14 [that is his favourite number] in pink writing.
Fat Zak likes playing basketball for the LA Players since the LA Lakers didn’t let him play for them because he was too young. The LA players for people that didn’t make the LA Lakers. The LA players are for people of all ages. Fat Zak sits at home shooting basketballs of his couch into his mini hoop. His favourite type of pizza is bbq and his dad buys it every second night secretly and hides under his own bright green bed, but he doesn’t know that Zak is sneaking under his bed when he goes out to buy the pizza for himself. Zak eats the delicious pizza he goes to sleep. Zaks other hobbies are to sleep in his own NBA special edition bed but that is pretty when he is under his dads bed every second night.
Fat Zak plays awesome basketball a 2 year old boy, so he is always on the news and basketball channels, the 3 news team said he was the 3rd best in the world because he can shoot a basketball of a 5 story building backwards as well as doing a headstand and get a complete swish.
Now the 3 news team is at labrone James’s house to watch Fat Zak shoot his basketball while skateboarding down a10 metre tall ramp blindfolded. When he did it an evil scientist walked past the awesome basketball hoop and the ball hit him in the face and when he was falling he accidentally shot his laser and it hit Zak right in the four head, so he got his memory token away from him so now he is just a regular 2 year old boy. So his mum and dad took him to a brand new school.

BIRD
Chirping and singing,
Small but bulky baby bird
Walking and playing.

Tree
Still green bushy tree,
Side to side it sways in wind
Waving to children.

Sun
A hot blazing sun,
Stays still in the gleaming sky
Shining over cities.
