The Wind and the Sun

Have you ever wondered what “The wind and the sun is all about”?

Many years ago the wind said to the sun: “I am stronger than you.” A traveller was passing by wearing a cloak. The wind tried to blow the cloak off but the man held it tighter. The sun shone brightly and the man took off his cloak off.

The sun proved to be stronger than the wind.

Air poem

Would you like to read a poem about air?

Smoking is bad
And makes me mad.
The twister
Looks like my sister
Bad air causes pollution
Good air is the solution

Rugby

Would you our like to hear about our Rip-a-tag rugby game? On Wednesday the students from Room 8 went down to the Glenbrae School court with Mrs R. Moopanar to play rugby with Hamish.

I stepped right and left to score a try. I managed to score a try which made my team win. I was tired because I ran really fast.

I enjoyed the game because it was funny. I also learnt some new skills.
