Antarctica

 WALT: make comparisons.

We have been learning about Antarctica and how its different school camps. This is my writing comparing both camps.

In Antarctica there is ice all over the grounds but at other camps like Living

springs or Authors pass they don't have ice on the grounds they have grass

and concrete.Also the other camps are not as cold as Antarctica.

Both of the camps have rosters on who's doing the dishes and who's helping with

the food. In Antarctica they have to separate the poo from the pee.

They use a bucket for poo and a bottle for pee then they get sent off to Scot

base but eventually end up in New Zealand.

The Boy With Wings

 Today the year 0-6 children were lucky enough to watch a puppet show about the Boy With Wings. I really enjoyed this show because they had very detailed props like a box that they made into a pop out tree on cardboard and the castle with doors to get in.                                                                                                    My favourite part of the show was at the end when the apple trees lit up.

Whats your favourite puppet show?

Emma Twigg News Report

 WALT: write a news paper article. This is my news paper article I wrote about Emma Twigg.

Emma Twigg Destroys Competition 

  - By Claudia  

Twigg competed in the Olympics as a New Zealand rower last Friday and won gold. She won with a time of 7.13.97. "I can't believe it. Honestly, crossing the line it was disbelief¨

In the finals Twigg was leading with Canada coming through. They were just a boat away.

Twigg still won gold and Canada won silver.

At the end of the race Twiggs face looked like she was exhausted but she also looked proud.

 Twigg started rowing in 2001 for the Napier girls high school and the hawkes bay rowing club. After 2 years of practice she was representing New Zealand at 2003 world rowing junior champions in Athens, Greece. 

Can't wait to see Emma Twigg rowing in the next Olympics, maybe she could win gold again.
