Potato, Potato, Potato!

Today is our Potato Day! We have been growing potatoes since last term. Today we harvested them, which mean we dug them out. We found 31 potatoes, all different shapes and sizes!

Here are our entries into the potato competition:

All the rest!

Nathan's Orcasome Prize

Today I won an awesome prize because I was the first to enter both Orca competitions. You can see my drawing and my poem. I won an Orcasome DVD called Killers I Have Known. I feel amazed and excited to watch my new DVD! I am so proud of myself. I am one of the few people in New Zealand that has the DVD.

Oli's new pup!

Here is my new puppy. He is so adorable! The kind of breed is a Retradoodle, which is crossed between a poodle and a Golden Retriever. He is called Harry.
