Duffy Theatre

On the Friday the 21st of march the whole school attended to watch a Duffy theatre show at the hall. The moral of the story was "Don't judge a book by its cover". Uncle Bingo had thought that every book he has read was full of boredom. His nephews were trying to create the best book ever, it had turn out to be a complete and utter fail. 

Uncle Bingo is then at the airport travelling to his rugby game at Sydney, he had trouble entertaining himself then saw the present from his nephews. Uncle Bingo then unravelled the present and saw a ballerina book, he got entertained we he read it. It was full of dancing moves which he preformed at the rugby game. Then the nephews celebrated and one of them was crowned the "Book queen" Mr Mcmanus i couldnt submit it on the assignment  By Jasli

On Friday the 21st March our school attended a play produced by the Duffy theatre.
The play was about a young boy called Duffy going on a reading adventure.
He and his friend Rosie love to read books.
But one day his uncle who was a famous rugby superstar came to visit his family.
Duffy and his friend found out his uncle never reads. So the two go on adventure to get their uncle to read.  By Ezra

Music lessons

Adrienne Hale is a pleasant teacher who indoctrinates us with her musical knowledge every Monday. This year so far we have started to play the recorder, learning new chords. We are also currently composing our own music and later in the year we will focusing on the annual end of year play, where all students participate in a wonderful production. By Violet

Each and every Monday, Adrienne Hale comes to Sacred Heart school to share her wide knowledge of music with the students. They go to learn a variety of skills class by class. During room 7's lessons, although it has only been a few weeks, Adrienne has began to teach the students how to play the recorder, write note, what certain notes values are, about rests and even how to compose their own music. Many of the children are extremely talented in this area and can creatively write a piece of music and play it on the recorder. These lessons are very enjoyable and personally I am delighted to attend them.  By Willow

Zone Swimming 2014

The day had arrived in a flash, before we knew it we were travelling to Wharenui Swimming Centre. Everyone sat anxiously waiting for their event to start. When that time came, some competitors were timidly walking while others bravely ambled towards the pool. Diving or bellyflopping into the wet blue blanket we swam, splashing as we reached the finish. When all the races had been completed, we dried ourselves off and arrived back at school just in time for lunch!
