Breaking News! An epidemic has hit Christchurch
Kachina (Year 7) and Jahna (Year 6) are two investigators who have made a movie to show what an evil epidemic like the Black Death could do if you are not ready. This movie will tell you how to be prepared. So listen and learn what they have to share.
Special thanks to Morgan P for being a great Filmer, actor and a wonderful editor. We couldn't have done it without you!

Morgans Wordle
This is a Wordle of my favorite song "Down by Jay Sean". I like it because it has a catchy rhythm, and I like the lyrics. You can create one here http://www.wordle.net/create

Morgans Wild-Self
This is my Wild-Self. The horse tail is to flick away annoying insects and bugs. The wings are to fly away from danger. My big wolf ears are to hear my prey and to look more normal. My strong zebra arms are to run fast, and to stomp on prey. My jelly fish bottom is to look more graceful when flying. I think I truly am wild!

Spanish Podcast
Students in Room 6 have started to learn Spanish. Morgan and Kachina (both Year 7 students) decided to record a podcast about some of the interesting things they have found out about Spanish, so far.
Other students have been working on Spanish podcasts too, so look back again soon to see what they can teach you!
Do let us know if you are learning a language at school (leave us a comment). Are you learning Spanish?

Jack and the Beanstalk
It all began when Daisy, had to be sold,
She was coughing up spit, and was sadly getting old.
So Jack's mother told him to take her down,
To the finest, richest, market in town.
Jack told a buyer that Daisy, was on her last year,
And all Jack got back was a bean, and half a pear.
When Jack got home he was surprised to see,
His mother was as angry as could be.
She went crazy and whacked Jack with a fork,
But the very next morning outside was a giant stalk.
The stalk was mighty, and mostly green,
Except for the gold leaves, up high in between.
Jack's mum was greedy and wanted the lot,
So she made a quite selfish, evil plot.
She raised her voice, without a frown,
"I’ll be the richest girl in town."
She yelled at Jack to go for gold,
And of course he did what he was told.
When he was almost at the top,
He heard a voice and took a hop.
As curious as could be,
He shot right up the golden tree.
"PEA, CARROT, PEA,
WHO IS BOTHERING ME?
WHOEVER IT IS THEY WILL MAKE MY TEA!"
"There’s a giant up the tree! Jack cried.
"Just get the gold," his mother replied.
So Jack was nimble,
And Jack was quick,
He was beside the gold in half a tick.
He took a step, the leaves went crack,
The giant grabbed his axe and "Smack!"
Jack hadn’t come back for an hour or so,
So his mother thought she’d have a go.
Now she wasn’t the best climber in town,
But after a while she was up and back down.
She had the gold and so much more,
Two mansions and a platinum door.
So that is how our story ends,
Did Jack die? Well it depends…..

11 Things I've Learnt in My 11 Years
1. Life is a daring adventure,
or nothing at all.
2. Take a risk. You never know what might happen.
3. Don't bother arguing. Teachers are almost always right.
4. Work in the week. Play in the weekend.
5. Never give up.
6. Fear is natural.
7. Choose your friends carefully.
8. It's what's on the inside that counts.
9. The book is always better than the movie.
10. Horses have a mind of their own.
11. Everyone's different.

Shetland Pony Poem
Shetland Pony
I have a Shetland pony,
Her socks are white as snow
She lives in the grassy back paddock,
Next to a handsome palomino.
When I ride her in the arena,
She gallops towards her mate
She bucks and bolts and nips and kicks
I end up on the gate.
I tie her up to the rail,
And keep a strong, sharp tone
Even when I try to brush her,
She has a mind of her own.
Back to the paddock she goes,
Back to her long lost friend
Kicking anything near,
Skidding around the bend.
Back to the barn I go,
To prepare for the next day
Going on a road trek tomorrow,
And she’s coming too, YAY!

Book Review by Morgan
This review was written by Morgan when she was 11 years old.Don't be silly Mr Twiddle
By Enid Blyton
Published by DEAN & SON LTD. 184 pages
How easy was it to get stuck into this book?
This book had a great use of humor and and a catchy flow, therefore it was easy to get stuck into.
Who are the main characters?
Mr Twiddle is the main character. He is very forgetful and always misunderstands the meanings of words - similes. He lives with his wife, Mrs Twiddle.
What's the story line?
This story is about a man called Mr Twiddle who always gets things wrong, and is a bit hard done by. People trust him, but he always lets them down and gets in trouble, as he gets twisted and muddled in his words.
How's it written [ style ]?
This book is written with a problem and a solution for each chapter. It keeps you excited and ready for another humorous experience. I think it would suit all ages as it is an easy going read.
Other books by the same author that you know about?
Brer Rabbit book, The Naughtiest girl in the school, The Faraway Tree, The Adventures of the Wishing Chair.
What do you think of the book overall?
I rate this book 4/5. This is a book that is worth a look at, and doesn't ever seem to get boring. I love the humor and the easy going flow.

Morgan's T-Shirt Design
I choose this phrase because, a lot of people judge others on what they look like, instead of finding out what's really inside.
