FANTASTICAL FUN RAISING!

This term, room 7 is going on a three night camp to Golden Bay. You probably know that our air guitar fundraiser has been a hit. It raised $812! You help by participating and it'll be blast! Our juicee sales are also going well, and in week eight, we should be off around the Takaka hill. My obituary for Paul the Octopus is going in the news letter, so check it out! Remember 12-30 pm air guitar, and ice fresh juicies on Fridays. We are doing our best, and if you help it'll be a great benefit! HELP ROOM 7! VOTE SELENA GOMEZ ON MAX'S BLOG!

Paul, The Psychic Octopus.

As you all know, Paul the Octopus is or was an international icon to football fans every where (except the Dutch). He has passed recently, and this post is a tribute to him. Paul was one of the most famous of our eight legged friends. Every one has his respect and he is in our hearts and minds for the rest of our lives. Why Paul, out of all of the octopi in the world, we don't know. But he was a famous mollusk to remember, and his result of picking the FIFA world cup matches was extraordinary. Goodbye Paul.

Chock Full Term 4

As my title basically sums up what I'm typing, we have a lot going on this term and one of them is trying to break (unofficially) the record for the largest air guitar ensemble. The school will hopefully participate and advertising is a must. I (Toby) have been making flyers for teachers and other kids are making posters. We are also holding a Harry potter evening for year 6-4. Look out for room 7 posters and feel free to come along (fee not yet specified) and dress up as your favourite Harry potter character. Get up on stage for thirty seconds and describe yourself the best you can (your character that is). There will be Harry Potter food (Made by Room 7 students), prizes and lots of magic! All of these are room 7 FUN raisers! Hope you can help us on our trip to Golden Bay.
Here's a song that I think we should use for the Air Guitaring.

NIS (Nelson Intermediate School) Visit.

Today, most of the year 6's of Totora syndacite had a bus ride towards their future (Some just being nosy because it's not their future). We arrived in the assembly hall, once again hearing Mr. Gully's enthusiastic voice. He had a quick talk to us about what we would do throughout our grand tour and then we were split into groups. Lucy and Matty were my tour guides, and Ben, and Quinn were some kids in my class in my group. We had a look at a few classes, spending about 1-2 minutes in each one. I saw a few familiar faces, and I can't wait to taunt and annoy some of those older kids, and that is just so much fun. NIS has a brilliant canteen selling everything from Nachos to macaroni cheese, and garlic bread to hot pies. I was interviewed by the NIS news crew, and they asked me my name, if I was coming to NIS and what I looked forward to. I am excited to taking part in the topics for each term (Hard materials, Bio Tech, Cooking and Technology). I got to go into my brothers class which was really cool, so I got to see what he does at school. The classes and teachers look great, and I will definentely go for the enrichment class in term 4. I can't wait. Also, since I play 1st cornet in the Nelson Junior Brass Band, I want to continue playing in the Junior band and moving up to the Youth band at intermediate. It's going to be awesome at intermediate, and even though I will miss Central, I can't wait to say goodbye and head into a different school. It'll be brilliant.

"May the force be with you"-Quote, Qui Gonn Jin, The Phantom Menace

We, in room 7 are superior in the forces. We have recently had our Totara rubber band race. Room 7 was ultimately the winner with Bianca thrashing the other class contestants. As we speak she is being interviewed by Ben W, and filmed by Sam. Here is a small recount of the race day.
Our invention was sitting lone on the table, but we had other things to do and see. T'was the time the Totora rubber band car race! Cameron, room 1 rep was up. He was winding it up in a nervous fashion, and I thought it might break under his nervous preassure.
He let it go... 90 cm. Interesting. Anyway, throughout the afternoon some cars were "jammed" or "stuffed", but some gave a promising result. But none were match for Bianca of room 7, smashing the competion with a staggering 13.68 metres . Harry said his would go 20 metres. It went ten metres. His mouth was hanging open when he saw Biancas blitz the track, didn't say a thing. Good decision there Harry. Anyway Bianca won, we are superior and everyone knows it.
YAAAYYYYYY, BRAGGING RIGHTS, WOO HOOO.
P.S, listen to B.o.B magic on youtube, it's addicting!

Things Happening This Term (Again)

Well, this term I have things happening academically, and sport wise. I've played one of my two basket-ball tournaments. We won all of our games, smashing Marlborough red 98-0 and Marlborough Black 71-0. They were our last two games I, don't remeber the first two game scores but we played three Marlborough teams and one Waimea team. My next tournament is in Blenheim, with the same team. There is one Nelson girls team and two Nelson boy rep teams. I am also publishing alot of work this week, with my five page free choice story (Night of the Living Hats) and my current events writing about the Pakistan flooding. It's at level four, I think. If it is that's really awesome. I'm feeling a bit crook, but I should be felling better soon. Also my teacher, Jonathan, came back from his European holiday the photos were pretty damn awesome. So yeah, that's pretty much it. Mash.

Halfway through Awesomeness!

So far, I am halfway through this year of school. My rich task is completed (Awesome forces) with the help of Lachie and Liam, making a car out of Knex and powered by rubber bands. We then have to make a rubber band powered car this term (different terms apply to Knex).
I also made the A rep team for Nelson for a couple of basketball tournaments. One in Nelson and one in Blenheim. I am excited, and I know everyone in my team. The first tournament is this Sunday. Hooraa. Sorry nothing else to say. Blah.
