How did you come up with the theme for your poem?
My poem was about emotions. I got the idea when I felt upset and decided to put my work onto paper.
What was the easiest part of writing the poem?
The easiest part is that it was quick to write and I was able to get my message across.

The hardest was giving the poem to the school because it was very personal. It took a lot of courage to enter the poem. I also enjoy writing lyrics as well as poetry.

See link below to see our Playtime Expectations Book:
Rugby Gala Day
Tom - I enjoyed rugby gala day because I got to spend time with my besties. There were three teams: a mixed team, boys team and girls team and I got chosen to be in the boys team. We were playing tag rugby where we had to pull tags from the opponents waist. There were about 7 schools and we played 3 games.
Ruby - We travelled to rugby on a bus and the three teams played 3-4 games each, the girls team won 2 games, the boys team sadly lost their games and the mixed team drew one game and lost the others. The experience was fun and enjoyable, one thing that I would change about it is playing more games.

What a wonderful experience our Foundation children had last night at the Prayers in PJs night! They learnt about different prayers, made a family candle, a prayer cube and mat and fished with a song. Thank you to the foundation students and parents who attended it was such a fun night!
John - I made a candle decorated with hearts, we also sang and prayed in the hall while also wearing pyjamas. I was wearing one of my favourite pairs of pyjamas, my star wars pyjamas.
Harper - At the prayers in pyjamas we prayed while wearing our pyjamas, we made a candle and a paper dice, we also sang a song, I had a very fun time with my friends.
