This is room nine's third blog term two 2011

We have had a great term so far in room Nine

This term Shenee in Room Nine shaved her hair off for the Northland Cancer Society she raised $1600. Shenee shaved her head on the 28th of May, at her house, her mum, Savoy and her hairdresser Rebecca helped shave her head.

On the 2nd of June we had our Winter Sports day. The sports we could choose from were soccer, rugby, netball, table tennis, basketball, ripper rugby, hockey. It was really cool. Lachlan and I played netball it was awesome! We won one game and lost four games, that was sad.

This term we are doing the Reading Competition to improve our reading and presenting skills. Each class will have a year 7 and a year 8 to go through to the syndicate finals. the winners of the year 7 and year 8 will go through to the school finals where you will read to the school, there will be 1st 2nd and 3rd.
