Sarah and Steph's Limerick poems

There once was a boy from Bidoyed.
Who ate his friend called Lloyd.
So he said "Ta ta for now."
And took a bow.
That was the story from Bidoyed.
By Steph.

There once was a bird from a nest.
Who decided to take a rest.
So she lay down her head,
and went to bed.
That bird from a nest.
By Sarah.

A Drama about Wisdom

We have been learning about what wisdom looks like. One group in our class performed a play from a story out of the bible. Check it out!

"The Warrior" by Francine River

Mr Lietze has decided to read E3 a book about a warrior in the bible called Caleb.
It all starts when Kelubai (who is also called for Caleb) and his family are stuck in a plaque of hail trying to find cover.
We feel that this story is a great influence to our lives. It's a great story to learn about bravery and perseverance. E3 are looking forward to seeing what happens in the next chapter.

Our New Blue Tongue Lizard

On Tuesday 12th August we got our new blue tongue lizard. We were really excited that it got here but we were a bit shocked when we saw the packaging because it looked like an ordinary parcel and didn't have fragile on it! We wondered if the Courier had been rough with it because the blue tounge was a bit scared at the start but thankfully now it's settled down a bit.

We don't know what type of gender it is, we think it might be a girl but we are not sure yet. It has a pink stomach so that's why we think it could be a girl. Maybe somebody could tell us how we can find out it's gender?

Here are some facts about our blue tongue:

Length: 18.5 cm
Born: 8th March 2008
What it eats: It loves snails and also eats chomped up vegetables and cat food.

PIRATE DAY!!!!!!

On Thursday the 10th of April we had Pirate Day! We had loads of fun dressing up. As part of Pirate Day we had a shared lunch, it was like a banquet. Tatiana's Mum made an awesome pirate cake. There is a picture of it. We all dressed up as different pirates. It was the best day ever. We had a Pirate Day because it was the end of our pirate topic. So thanks to all the Teachers that organised this day - your the best!!

Sarah's Camp Story

In Week 7 the Yr 5's and 6's went on a camp to Totara Springs holiday park in Matamata. Katherine, Gabby, Courtney and I went in my car. It was about a one hour drive to get there. Finally we got there. It actually looked like more fun than I had thought and it looked like a really fun place to stay.

The annoying thing was that we had to unpack all our bags. There were lots of fun things to do there like going to see all the animals at the aviary, building rafts, going on the flying fox, kayaking in the river, toasting marshmallows and going down the curly and freaky hydroslide. Camp was awesome because there were trampolines and a big swing that can fit up to ten people called the lullaby.


Each morning we had devotions then breakfast. The breakfast made me very replete. Some negative things were that I got a bloody nose at the cookout, we had to do duties including cleaning our cabins and that the matteresses were really uncomfortable and it felt like I was in prison when I slept on them.

However on camp I did feel really excited and happy. I also really enjoyed going to Firth Tower and looking at all the old things. Firth Tower was named after a man named Josiah Firth. I had to share a cabin with Alexandra, Jasmine, Alana and some other people. Something I learnt how to do at camp was to do forward and back flips on the trampoline. I was really lucky that my Dad was one of the chosen parents to go. At the end we did an Iron Man tryathalon. I had to run at the end and we came second.

We stayed there for 4 days but than it was time to go home. I had a awesome time at Totara Springs Holiday Park and I want to go there again! :)
