Yummy sticker promotion

To New World,

Thank you for supporting the Yummy Stickers promotion. We have managed to collect enough stickers to buy $100 worth of tennis balls. We appreciate your support towards the fundraising, because we enjoy receiving new sports gear for our school.

With all the tennis balls we can play a variety of games such as : handball, hot potato, catch, tennis, cricket, silent catch and many more games the students at Panmure Bridge School can create.

This also will hopefully encourage students to get outside and play with the tennis balls at interval and lunch and not leaving them with nothing to do.

      in association with

Thanks again,

Quaid

Dirty dairy disaster

Dirty dairy 'disaster' for Wairarapa

5 Main points:

• Wairarapa already has a bad track record for polluted waterways.
• People have already been warned not to swim in the local waterways and this may lead to an environmental issue
• As the dairy industry increases, it will most likely happen more often
• DairyNZ try to sort out the problem but so far, they have no luck
• Most of the nitrogen that ends up in the fresh water comes from animal urine

A metaphor is...a figure of speech in which a word or phrase that is used in a sentence about another object √

Identify the simile -  like a silver typhoon √

Identify the metaphor - Marshmallow floating ,chocolate sea, pink debris √

Think of an everyday object that has some moving parts e.g. a clock

ballpoint pen

Write your own poem describing the object using a mixture of simile and metaphor.

The ballpoint pen rolls around as fast as a bowling ball

It slowly searches in desperation for more ink

As it runs out it becomes blurry

The writer becomes frustrated,

The pen just lies there

exhaustion has taken over the pens abilities

as fast a speeding rocket.
