Hi and welcome to the Room 5 news report

HEADLINES
This week we have met Mr Noyse our student teacher, lost a touch game, enjoyed the family fun night and the great race.

PENPALS
We have received letters from our penpals at Fendalton School in Christchurch. We are very excited to write back to them. Jade found a story in the newspaper which was written by her penpal. We are also quite excited about being able to make a podcast with our penpals.

MR NOYSE
We have a second year student teacher from Otago University with us for two weeks. Mr Noyse is good at music and likes to skateboard.

NEW SERVER
In two weeks we will be getting a new server at our school so we can all have our own passwords.

SPORTS
We played touch rugby against Concord on Thursday but sadly we lost 11 to 4.
On Tuesday Kristian, Nathan, Clay, Sam G and Alice represented Pine Hill School at the North Zone Sports. The rest of the children went to Chingford park to take part in fun events.
Pine Hill School held its first Cross Country also on Thursday. Je Gyong from Room 5 beat all the girls and boys. We ran around the block and at the finish we got a treat.
Also on Thursday we had a family fun night after school to celebrate the end of Push Play. There were T-ball, cricket, netball and touch rugby. It was kids versus adults. Kids won!

News report compiled by all children in room 5.
