rally

On Saturday 18th 2008 Me and Mum went to the rally car show. We went around all of the cars then we went up the front because they had autographs then we went home. In the morning we got up early we went up to the rally. Heaps nearly went into the fence. Number 00 rolled it but they were ok . One went the wrong way and did a big skid. Me and Toby went up to the start spot and we saw some really fast cars. One car was stuck in fourth gear, one other had to get push started. Hayden Paden was meant to be in it but his car went over seas because he was in rally championship, which was a pain. Then we went around the track some bits were bumpy because my Mum was at the end then we went home.

The rally cars

On Friday Room 7 went to the hall to talk about some rally cars.Three men Patrick, Chris and Kerian(who used to go to our school) came and showed us some photos of rally cars and accidents. There was a blue car a silver and a all kind of colour car. I liked the dark blue one because that's my favourite colour.
After they had talked to us about how long they have been racing we went outside and we got posters and little booklets we were allowed to get our things signed I got my arms and forehead signed I sat in a car and it was really comfy and in the back of it there was a big net and it looked really safe. The car keys were still in there and when they left it made a big roar sound that hurt my ears.They went over the school bridge and out of the school it was so nice of them to come and it was really fun.

Place for Plants visit

On Thursday Lawrence, Isaac and Carl went to Place for Plants as part of our inquiry unit.
Here are some things they found out.
We learnt that the containers have heating underneath and it keeps the plants at the right temperature. One of the flowers you could eat and one you could dry and keep forever.
They gave us a free plant Carl gave his to Mrs Anderson and it was called a nemesia.

We had a great time!

Caleb's trophy

Every Saturday this year I went to play rugby for the Wanderers Under 9 team.
I won player of the year. You get a trophy to keep and a trophy to hold up for 10 minutes to show the crowd . My Mum and Dad were proud. I was supposed to be centre but I'm a forward now.

Here are Rooms 6 & 7 helping Mrs Gulbransen plant a tree and some shrubs on her last day at Brightwater School. The garden is outside our classrooms so we will always be reminded of her.
