Zombie plant thoughts in TV stars brain

If you've been watching  the hit show "mornings with Matt" you may have noticed that Matt is a bit green and bleeding a lot and bumping into things. Scientists say why "a kid believes that he saw something  attacking him backstage same with other people  having similar problems".

Scientists  say it could be a zombie Apocalypse ,it could be the end of the  world. Some of us could be next on the dead side ragging for flesh and that could be our future. For years no one could possibly believe it but now people are arming their houses, vehicles and precious stuff to the max because it could be the end of the world. 

Just one zombie bite could change the world . The kid said "the whole thing just happened!" The hunting store manager says "we're  running out of stock because the gun making factory has been raided recently this could be the end"

Advice: block windows and doors with steal and wood and gather supplies.

Bake Sale

On the 6th of March the whole class went to the BAKE sale. In the morning a lot of people brought money to school. When we got there, the baking was from Room One mum's and other mums. When I saw the food we went on a rampage for a lot of stuff, like James, he got five things. It was exciting. Kiara looked like she really loved it. The bake sale was in the hall and there were 3 tables of food from everyone. THANK you for baking!

If you know anyone who could help us discover the story of Howick, please let me know, we would love to have a guest speaker.


Blenz Cricket Day and Family Fun Day

On Thursday 27th February Vivian from Blenz came to school to pick me up and off to town we drove.  We got to the venue and I was allowed to play on the playground while waiting for the rest of the children to arrive.  When everyone was there we went inside to a huge room that was set up with some nets.  We got into groups, we called my group The Excellent Thunderbolts.  We started bowling a special ball that had something inside it that would rattle when it was rolled so those who couldn't see could hear where the ball was heading.  After some practice we started a game for fun.  We had to use the cricked bat to hit the ball as hard as we could, we didn't have to run, just hit the ball.  I managed to hit the ball every time!












On Sunday the 2nd March my family and I went to a Family Fun Day at Blenz.  When we got there I saw a petting zoo which had one pig, a few little goats and some sheep.  We were allowed in the pen with them and could pat them. Next my parents and I went to get a sausage from the Sausage Sizzle which was free, we also had Chocolate Milk and Chocolate ice cream which was delicious.  After lunch there was a lady that said "Whoever would like a ride in a Porche car please come to me".  I decided that sounded like great fun.  All the cars were lined up and I got into a red Porche.  The driver took me for a ride out to the airport and back which took about 20 minutes, it was nice talking to the driver but we weren't allowed to go fast as we were in traffic.  I felt very happy and lucky to get a ride in such an expensive car.  After a great day it was time to head home.  We were all feeling very tired.
