William Pike!

Yesterday William Pike visited our class. William Pike is a New Zealander who lost his leg during an accident during a trip with his friend. He told us his story and I heard a lot of ooing and aahing :D.

For the William Pike Challenge We do Passion Projects, Outdoor Activities and Community Service.
I have 40% on outdoor activities which I am proud of.

Does your school does the William Pike Challenge?

Book Award Day!

Today (August 7th) we went to New Zealand Book Award Day. We saw Authors from New Zealand and they explained their books and what they do. 

Here are my 2 favourite authors:

Leonie Agnew; She wrote books called 'The impossible', 'Super Finn' and 'Conrad Coopers Last Stand'. She is a children's Author. Her first book was entitled 'Super Finn'.

Jenny Cooper; She is an award winning illustrator, illustrating over 70 books. My favourite book of hers is 'Do your ears hang low'. She illustrates all kinds of books, including children's books.

Here are some pictures we took while we were there:

If you have heard of these two Authors, please comment!

Netball Zones! :)

Netball Zones.

On the 1st of August. We had netball zones at Rolleston College. We lost all the games apart from one that we tied. Apart from losing, we did really good. I got player of the day because of my intersecting. Most of the games we kept the teams on their toes and were pretty close to winning. I was really proud of my team and I can't wait to do winter sports netball.
