Heathcliff
Well, personally I thought it was really tiring and hard to do but it was quite enjoyable.
Ashleigh
It was fun watching but when I ran it was really tiring.Next year I want to practice more, work, work work.
Sky
I liked the running at the end because I came 4th. I was glad to see my Mum because normally she does not come to the cross country, she said that I did really well.
Jack
I really liked charging at the finishing line.
Kayla
I liked it when I went up the ramp, I was excited to be doing the cross country. At the end I felt glad not to come last.
Samantha
The first lap was quite fun but when it came to the second lap it was quite hard especially with a broken arm.
Kai
At the finishI was puffed but um,I was proud of myself because I was in the top fifteen.
Jazmin
It was terrifying at the start because I did not know what place I would come.
For the first time ever the Y4 children from St Albans School went camping. Throughout the camp we saw smiles, heard laughter and and watched as we put the 'St Albans' values to the test.

Zac’s Interesting Weekend
On Sunday I would have played JUDO ground fighting with
Dad if Dad was not busy trying to demolish the kitchen and put in a new gib-board . I tried to ring-up all the boys in Room 21 to see if any of them wanted to come around to my house and play, but none of them answered the phone .
The rest of the day I sat in my bed-room listening to Harry Potter from Arlia’s iPod until Arlia came home and took the iPod from me. I did not care, and anyway it was low on battery, so I went to bed and eventually fell asleep.

Kirsten’s Diary
Sunday the 20th was a very wet rainy day and at 1:45
March 2011 a very big aftershock struck Christchurch, it was a
magnitude of 5.1. When the aftershock struck Kristen and I
rushed to a strong door way or tried to do the safe triangle of
life. Kristen was screaming and crying, we all got such a fright.
Lamps fall down, smash, smash! Cups broke, crash, crash! We were all so
scared afterwards we snuggled with Mum and had a good night
sleep.
Plus 3 Addition tables. We finally had our +3 test last week , these children scored 100%. Congratulations; Ashleigh, Brydie, Gemma, Jermaine, Kai, Sky and Stavros.
Our Library book exchange day is Wednesday, please check that books are returned to school in the reading folders for returning or renewal.
Homework
Maths Learn the +4 tables in readiness for Fridays quick fire test.
Reading Keep you weekly reading log up to date , you should be reading for an average of nearly 30 minutes per night.

Cross Country We all need to practice lots for the upcoming Cross Country…. We will practice at fitness time at school but children need to complete some practices at home as well.
Proverb of the week.
A good beginning makes a good ending.
