Calf Club 2017!

On Wednesday 25th of October we had Calf Club. I took my lamb Charlie and my sister took  her lamb Rambo. We first had obstacle course which I thought Charlie did quite well. She got 2nd. For leading Charlie got 3rd and for calling she got 5th. In Rearing and Handling she got a 2nd. At prize giving Charlie and I got most obvious pet lamb. My proudest moment of the day would be when Charlie came in calling. She never stopped and came all the way.

My Holidays: What I did in my holidays

On the first weekend  of the school holidays we celebrated Emma's birthday with her. We went to 10 pin bowling in Sky City. I won 1 game then lost the other game. After we had finished bowling we went to the escape rooms. We almost got out but we stuffed up the code. After we had finished we  went back to Emma's house. We had dinner, had a spa and watched a movie. It was a really good day.

Thames Gymsports Festival

On Thursday the 29th of June, a group of students years 4-8 from Ngatea Primary School attended the Thames Gymsport festival. There were three levels of difficulty for the Gymnastics Competition: Twisters (Hard), Flyers (Medium) and Springers (Beginners). Our school did very well in the gymnastics area of the competition with some students placing in the top six for their age and level of difficulty. Two groups of year 7&8 students entered into the cheerleading category. The two groups were called the NPS Minnies and the NPS All Stars. Both of the groups placed in the top two. The NPS Minnies came first and the NPS All Stars came second. Both groups have qualified to go to the Gym Sport Regionals held in Hamilton in August. Throughout the the day many of the NPS students were spotted showing a great attitude and sportsmanship and received a spot prize for this. We all thought it was an amazing experience and was a great opportunity to try something new and exciting!

Super Tayla Character description

Super Tayla has hair as golden as the sun. Her green eyes sparkle like green stone. Her fiery red cape waves in the air like it is saying hello. Her yellow boots are as yellow as a sunflower on a summer's day. She has a red t-shirt that reflects of the ocean as she flys over. And her blue pants dazzle through the night. Her favourite food is sushi and drink is sparkling lemonade, and last but not least she loves to look naughty villains in jail.

Current events:Fonterra stands down heavy truckies

Fonterra has had to stand down all their truck drivers above a certain weight.

 The company learned from a question that truck seats are only safe for people who way under 150 kilograms.
Fonterra had to stand down about 50 people.

Fonterra:

Is a New Zealand multinational dairy co-operative 

Stand down: 

Withdraw or resign from a position. 

My opinion: I think this really sucks for the truck drivers because they have to lose weight just so they can go back to doing their job, but I think it is better for Fonterra to do this so that their drivers safety isn't at risk.
