Cross Country

School Cross Country is coming up this Friday. I had fun drawing a course around the school for practice. I think we will need to run at least 3 of these circuits.

I also thought I would draw out the course for the Domain.
Yellow for juniors, red for middle and blue for seniors.

Where do you stand?

This week we made a stand about some of our beliefs about endangered animals.
What do you think about this statement? Where would you stand on the line?

Lots of animals have disappeared from the Earth already. Extinction is natural - 
          we shouldn't waste our time trying to stop it.

Phone a Friend Peformance

On Friday 27 April we went across to a performance called Phone a Friend. The performers were really funny because they acted crazy. The story was about a high school boy who was being bullied by people texting him. The boy had an old phone that was really big (too big to put in your pocket) but in the end the phone helped him to solve his problem.
