Cross Country

What a great day we had at cross country on Friday.  All the kids ran really well and the sun shone.  Here is a video of the event.

Helicopter visit

The lucky winners are...

Today we were very lucky to watch the rescue helicopter land on our field.  Tommy and Holly won a Turbo's competition and as a result got to ride to school in a helicopter. Here are some pictures and some writing...

I heard thumping in the sky.  I felt wind blowing around the school.  The helicopter was going to land on the field and Holly and Tommy and Miss Simpson came out.

I heard a hovering sound.  I looked up and it was Holly, Tommy and Miss Simpson in a helicopter.  Unfair, I thought as they hopped out of the helicopter.  They won a rugby competition.

When we were outside a helicopter arrived on the field.  Tommy and Holly arrived in the helicopter because they went to the turbo game and they won.

Pet day

Pet Day
What a fun day we had today.  It was Pet day at Halcombe School and many of the children got to show off their fabulous pets.  There were bunnies, guinea pigs, dogs, cats, lambs and ponies.  The children had so much fun.  Here are a few comments from some of our pet owners...

" I was excited when I walked around the ring.  I was very surprised when I got a trophy and a champion ribbon with Henry," said Taylor.

"The judge asked me what food does your cat eat?  I was excited to get a ribbon," said Mya.

"It was funny when my goat Jay was walking around on his knees.  I think he was tired!" said Jamie
