Dear Golden Fresh,

Hi! My name is Sa Ngo and I am a student from CSNS that participated in the school triathlon. Your speech was amazing and I would like to thank you for sponsoring our triathlon. I loved the apples and the little bottle was super cute! I am also one of the people that won a spot prize. I am really glad that I chose the swimming bag and I am now using it in my weekly swimming classes.

 Thank you so much for the snacks and refreshments. It was amazingly delicious and I wished I had another packet of apples. But of course I know that I can’t be greedy! Thank you also for setting up the competition for more sports gear for our school. I want to help the school as much as I can but while eating those irresistible apple slices. Do you have your own farm of apple trees?

 The triathlon this year was a really awesome experience! I had so much fun and you guys just made it better! As a Year 6, this will be my last CSNS school triathlon. Thank you so much for making it the best one. Next year I am going to Intermediate but I will always remember my teachers who taught me lots and the people who helped the school.

 Thank you for making this year, my best year at CSNS.

 Sincerely Yours,
 Sa Ngo

Waves Of Dizzyness

It was the 31st of December. The Summer Holidays. I looked at the time. 6:23. “Shushhh!!!” Dad whispered. I got up, dressed and crept quietly past Nam’s sleeping form. Yum, Waffles! I gobbled my breakfast and went into the bathroom. Some minutes later, I emerged into the living room. We hopped into the car with Nam still asleep and after like a few minutes (more like 2 hours) we arrived at Wellington. We drove over to the docking area and boarded the huge ship. When the boat left the dock, it was calm and I was fine. Until it started moving faster.

 A wave of dizziness cast itself over me. I felt sick to the core. Outside I heard wind rushing by and that made it even worse. I told my parents and my dad tried to distract me. We went outside and the wind twirled my hair into a tangled mess. The propellers of the engine came at an amazing speed under the water. Foam bubbled it’s way onto the surface and I noticed it left a slight trail behind us. I could see way back in the North part of NZ. I looked forward and saw the silhouette of the huge mountains way up ahead.

 My dad and I went back inside. “Are you hungry?” He asked me. “Uhh, a little bit” I answered. We made our way to the food court area. “Hmm” I thought out loud. “I’ll have an egg and bacon pie, and a cup of hot chocolate please” I ordered. “And I will have one of these sandwiches” My dad continued. The counter waitress handed us one of those sticks with a number. “It will be delivered to your table in a few minutes” She replied politely. We chose a table by the window (which was very hard 

because it was so crowded) and some minutes later the waitress came with our food. I finished the delicious piece of pie and drank my hot chocolate. Suddenly a voice came over the speakers. “WE WILL ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINATION IN A FEW MINUTES. PLEASE RETURN TO A SEAT AND BUCKLE YOUR SEATBELTS UNTIL WE ARRIVE”. Everyone rushed to their seats and my dad and i had to struggle through the crowd. My mum and Nam were already there. Out through the window an island came into view.

 Finally we were at the South Island.

2017, The First Day Of School

31/01/17

It was a frosty morning and I had to drag myself out of my cosy and warm bed. Making my way down the corridor, I caught the whiff of sausages. Mm mmm! I wolfed down my breakfast and got dressed. Brushed my teeth and did all the normal things I did every holiday morning. Wait. 8:14?? Why did Dad call me up so early?? Then the thought strikes me. It was the first day of school! I climbed in the car and my dad drove me to school. 

I arrived and quickly checked the classroom notice. I was in Karaka. At first I was like “WHAT??!” but then I saw the map. Ohh. It was Room 14/15/16. I nervously walked in. Miss Gordon greeted me and handed me my Designer Profile. I met Mr Robertson and he said in loud BOOMING voice. “GO GET A TOTE TRAY AND DUMP ALL YOUR STATIONARY INSIDE. THEN FIND A SPOT ON THE RACK.” I completed the task and waited until class started. Until someone interrupted me. 

 “Hi Sa!” A voice behind me squeaked. I turned around to see my best friend slowly walking towards me. “Hi Ivy!” I replied. “What are we doing?” She asked me. “First get a Designer Profile from one of the teachers, then get a tote tray and dump all of your stationary inside.” I repeated Mr R’s words. “Ok!” Ivy replied cheerfully. 10 seconds later Ivy came back with a folded piece of paper in her hand. “Now you need to get a tote tray from over there” I pointed to 2 stacks of tote trays. 2 minutes later, Ivy was all set up. We spent the rest of our time playing chopsticks and talking. 

RING!! The school bell screamed as the teachers started to make their way into the triple classroom. Can you believe I’m in a triple class??! With 5 teachers! Wow. That certainly broke my record. Miss Gordon, Mrs Liddell, Mrs Dennison, Vicky and the one I’m dreading.. Mr Robertson. 

Powhiri is a special Maori event to welcome the new students to CSNS. That’s what we attended on the first day. Practically all of it was Maori and I nearly dozed off. Just kidding! I sat straight and listened to all of it. Just kidding again! Ok fine. I admit that it was a little boring and I didn’t really listen much. 

 RING!!!RING!!! The bell rang two times to indicate that today it was inside morning tea. Some of my classmates clambered over ppl to run out of the door. Talk about Rude. Now let’s skip to the last block. The teachers announced a speech. “Now we're going to design the classroom!” That made some cheers erupt. There were 4 groups. Naming/Logo, Moving, Interior Designers and Spaces. Ivy and I chose the Naming and Logo group. 20 minutes later. “Ugh, this is sooo hard!” I complained. Why did I even chose this group in the first place? “I agree” Ivy nodded. Ring! “Oh it’s the bell!” Ivy exclaimed. 

 And that was how the first day went.
