Winner of the Writing Competition

Hi again and welcome back.

About 4 weeks ago Hiwi the Kiwi came to Greytown school and taught us a few things about fishing. We all wrote stories about fishing safety and entered a writing contest and if you win you get a fishing rod. One of the things we learned is that you need a ruler to measure the fish and if they are too big or too little you have to throw them back. We also learnt about the importance of wearing a life jacket.

We have just heard that Imogen Wilton from our room who placed second in the writing contest. Congratulations to her and to James Wall from the senior school, who placed first and will have his work published in a fishing magazine as well as receiving a fishing rod.

We were very excited to learn that one of our class mates had placed in the competition. It was a great narrative and had lots of descriptive words in it. Miss O Connor read out some of her story during assembly.

You can see Hiwi the Kiwi entertaining us at assembly, as well as giving us safety messages for in the water he also told us stories and had us sing songs which helped us to learn about caring for our environment.
