Super Writing

Some of the talented writers from Team 18 have been going to Mrs Linyard's Enrichment group over the last few weeks. Here is what they wrote about an approaching cyclone.

It is insane. The noise is terrifying.  I’m super scared.  Terrified actually.  Rain and hail are hitting me hard on the head.  SPLAT! A huge pile of hail just smacked me on the head.

“BRRR,” I yell to my friend Cara. 

“Unexpected!” she screams.  The same thing happened to her.

I hear a large crash and look up to see a house crash land not far from me.

It is insane.  The noise is terrifying.  Trees are breaking, wind is rushing by, people are screaming and holding on for dear life!  I see a Lamborghini floating out to sea and trees that are almost horizontal.

We love Horrible Histories!!

In the Trenches!

Last Thursday was 'Trench day' in R18. The chairs were put to the side and desks arranged into rows(trenches) from the Front line through to the rest trenches at the back. Throughout the day Sgt F fired out the orders and the privates quickly responded with salutes and "Yes Sirs!!" We did a range of trench related tasks including diary writing and calculating the amount of dirt that needed to be removed from the WW1 trenches. Good fun!!?  YES SIR!!

Another reason not to go to war...Bully Beef!!

The face says it all!! It actually tastes better than it smells

Amazing dance talent!

Checks out this weeks pick from 'Britains Got Talent!' Talk about Reach for the Stars!

Lest we Forget!

Over the last week Team 18 have delved deep into ANZAC Day.  2 museum visits, an Assembly item and a visit from class parent expert Tim Hoffman later and it is fair to say we are near experts on the topic.  Big thanks to all those parents who have assisted on trips over the last few days.

The Sequel!

Mr Fs Fav day...May the Fourth!

It's great to be back!

It's great to be back and seeing all the happy smiley kids from R18 after my week away in Auckland for Maisie's heart operation. Thanks to all those people for their well wishes and support over this stressful time. Check out these few photos from my time in the big smoke.
