Inter Schools Cross Country

This week on Friday (1st June) the Inter Schools cross country is taking place on rabbit island. The lucky few who got through to this event will be very excited. They will be competing against other schools in the Tasman District.

The race is around 2 kilometres long, and you go up hills of sand. The top ten will go through to the Nelson one, which as it sounds is all the best runners in the Nelson area.

This week we did some awesome science with teabags and made them float.
We lit them and they got smaller and smaller and smaller until they floated in the air.
They looked like tiny little sparks flying in the air.

Every few years a new video game is released, like pokemon go, but now it’s fortnite.

This game has been downloaded more than 4 million times since it’s launch, and the reason why it's dangerous is because it is an addiction for a lot of people.

Fantail Coming in

On the 2nd of May in the afternoon, a little boy fantail came in. It was singing a sweet song, everyone liked it. It was happy and friendly and  it stayed in the class for about half an hour. When it left, most people said "Bye!" but it came back the day after.

Inspire Me!

NP: Inspire Me

I am doing Inspire Me on Heather from Dragons: Race to the Edge. She isn’t a real person, but her morals, personality and characteristics are inspiring - at least to me.

Heather inspires me because she is a survivalist;when the going gets tough, she doesn’t give up and she is always stopping and looking at problems creatively - she’s really something of a R.I.VE.R. student!

Heather has black hair in a braid to her elbow, bright green eyes and one brother, Dagur. She originates from Beserker Island where she lives with her brother.

She also has an amazing bond with her Razorwhip Windshear, who willingly gave her scales for Heather’s armour.

Heather has awesome dragonriding and fighting skills and always keeps the team laughing.

Thanks also to Cressida Cowell and DreamWorks who created Heather and the rest of the Dragons: Race to the Edge cast. They’re super-creative, outside-the-triangle thinkers who have enabled the enjoyment of thousands of viewers all over the globe. Thanks HEAPS to both.
