Wow! We are half-way through term 2. Room 3 has been very busy including a school trip to Lake Karapiro and a fun, mud run at Mrs Trousdale's farm.
Here is an account of our visit to Cambridge written by Jack Pallister.
"Ring, ring ,ring!"
"OK, everybody on the bus!"
"Vroom, Vroom"
"This is going to be a long ride."
When we got to the trenches, "You may now hop off the bus and have some lunch"
We chucked our bags into a corner and sat down to have some lunch. I was busting to go to the toilet. Just in time, Mrs Rosendaal said," All senior boys can go to the toilet." As quick as light ,I raced down to the toilet; I heard the same said to the girls. There goes the whistle. I went up the stairs." Now the fun begins," I thought.
All Seniors, go down the stairs to Sport Waikato".
First, we had to run around to get into groups. There was about 8 in a group. The fist game was hula-hoop, we had to get it around a circle without dropping it. Then we had to make shapes with a giant rubber band. We had a lot more games and finally we went to the trenches. It was awesome. There was a big cannon and a small one. The soldier told us some facts- some sad and some good. Finally we hopped back on the bus but it felt longer going back to school.
