Identical twins, a party invitation, and a locked closet.

Identical twins, a party invitation, and a locked closet.

It was a ordinary day at school on a chilly winter morning. I got to class and stated to get my books ready when I saw there were two new kids they looked like they were identical twins everything was the same they had the same noise and the same amount of freckles I think. I went over to say hi and welcome them to the school. 

I went over and sat beside them, before I got a chance to say hi they invited me to a party, I said "thanks but I don't even know who you are". They said" Please come we want people to be there for something we call a surprise. I thought to myself they seem like they've got something to hide why don't I go check it out. I said "Ok I be there at 7:00pm" They said "cool see you there".

I was on my way home from school and I saw the twins walking home I thought to myself I don't even know there names and I going to there party thats weird. I got home and got ready for the party I put at bright yellow top on with black and white stripy jeans. Mum was taking me to the party and dropped me off at the start of the driveway she said"I'll come pick you up at 9:00 cal me if you need anything".

I started walking down the drive way when I herd my name being called from the front dore so I stated running. I walked in and was taken to a closet that was locked they opened it and Bam.... To Be contiued

End Of Term Review

A highlight from term 2.
My highlight from term 2 was the disco because when your in a environment with all your friends around you dancing and singing having fun. I think the discos are fun to have a break from school life and to just chill out. I can't wait to see what the discos are going to be like next year.  

A lowlight from term 2.
A lowlight from term 2 was when we lost our privileges on our laptops, This was a lowlight because we lost the privileges of having personal things on our laptops. I felt that quite sad when this happened but I think that we will be able to bring back the privileges that we lost by staying responsible on our laptops.
  
A achievement.
An achievement for me was when I finished my science fair first I felt that I had done heaps better for the amount of work and my presentation. I loved doing my science fair because it is my passion to work with animals and it's my lifelong to become a zoo keeper when I older. I think I did very well on my science fair even though I didn't get a yellow sticker.

Cross Country.
I loved doing cross country even though I not the running type I made it fun bye putting face paint on laughing and running around I would do it over and over agin.  

Sports and activities.
During this term I have been doing a range of sports and activities. For sport I have been doing squash and hockey. Hokey is my main sport as I have been doing it over 4 years. Some activities I have been doing are Choir and I am the class liberian. I think that choir is my main activity because I love to sing, I learn to sing 4 times a week to I can perfect my voice.

This term has been a great term and I hope that It will carry on for the rest of the year.    

Haircut issue goes to court

Year 12 student Lucan Battison was suspended by St John’s College’s principal Paul Melloy last month for having long hair. The boys father Troy Battison is seeking a review of the suspension in the High Court at Wellington. The school rule is that the boys have to have their hair cut so it's off their collar. The Principal, Mr Melloy said his defiance of the rules were “harmful and dangerous” because it could influence other pupils who could think Lucan’s actions were cool. I think that anyone could long hair if they tie it up.
