3rd September 2015 - Week 7 Term 3

Daffodil Day Gala Thank you to everyone who came and supported our Daffodil Gala last Friday.

We raised a total of $1,377.70 for the NZ Cancer Society. The weather was kind to us last Friday for Daffodil Day and what a great day it was with lots of action and excitement. The children were really excited to plan and set up their own stalls and they were responsible for running them during the afternoon. For many they reckon it is the best day of the year. The cooking required parent support and a huge thanks goes to those parents who spent the afternoon helping out. Thanks also to Fresh Choice for the donation of sausages and to Russell at Pohara General Store for donating the lollies again for the “Guess The Lollies in the Jar”, and Dean at NBS for the use of the Bouncy Castle. Your support on this day was really appreciated.

Daffodil Day

By Holley

“Let’s go,” I said to Mum. “It’s daffodil day today.”

I get my clown costume on. Time to set up my stall.

I pumped up my long skinny balloons and began to

twist them into dog shapes.

POP!! “Oops, a balloon popped,” I said to myself.

Never mind. I will pump up another one.

Lots of people bought my balloons.

No more balloons for sale.

I set off to buy something else.

“Look, a toffee apple, Yum!!” I said to my little sister,

Scarlett.

Next I went to Renford and made a basket out of flax.

It took a very long time.

Now the basket is hanging up in our truck, and Mum

keeps her phone in it sometimes.

I love selling things and making things and buying things

at Daffodil Day.

Daffodil Day

By Jay Anderson

The bell rang. It was twelve o’clock. The first

customer was here. He wanted a cheese toasted

sandwich, which was five tokens.

Ten minutes later. We were working like mad.

Finally, Natasha came with some kambucha.

Arjuna got a cup and poured the kambucha into a

cup and gave it to Caitlin. Then I got my tokens

and got a sausage. It was good. Then we went on

the field and we played rippa rugby. I had heaps

of turns on the bouncy castle. After we tidied up

the school, we got to have free goes.

It was a great day. Next year I want to make

toasted sandwiches again.

Thanks to Janet, Kim & Penny for School

cancer

Little baby birds chirping in the trees

The baby lambs frolicking below

Sweet spring smell of daffodils

The taste of sherbet and toffee apples in my mouth

Lime, green grass floating in the wind

Lemon, yellow daffodils drifting through the breeze

All of the daffodils bringing a shine to the world

All the daffodils reminding people of a fresh new start

By Cherysh

Yellow, Yellow, Yellow

Relief for people who survived

The bright happy colours of daffodils bring hope to

the world

Daffodil Day

Colours popping out from everywhere

Butterflies dancing around the yellow

flowers

The smell of sugar flying around

Kids screams and laughter bursting through

my ears

The taste of fresh air

The feel of hope floating in to my skin

But the sorrow for those who die of cancer

By Nina

Daffodil Hope

Lambs are being born, flowers are spreading, it’s spring and today is

daffodil day.

Everybody is getting ready. Smiles are spreading and our hopes are

heading to those with cancer.

Ding, ding, ding! The bell has rung it’s time for some fun.

I taste the sweet toffee apple when I use my tongue to get it off my

teeth.

I smell the warm smell of sausages on the grill.

I feel smooth grass running through my fingers.

I see bright colours and smiling faces.

I see people running and doing races.

Today was great and I cannot wait until another great daffodil day.

By Mya

Daffodil Day

I can taste the stickiness of toffee apples

I can hear the screams and laughter of

kids having fun

I can touch kids and feel excitement

rushing through them

I can smell the sausages sizzling on the

grill

I can also feel people sitting in hospital

worried that they are not going to

survive

I can feel people having hope in

themselves because it is Daffodil Day!!!

Room One’s Daffodil Day

Poems

Mum and Renford helped me make a flax

basket. It was one of the best days. My

stall sold sunflower seeds and we sold

most of them. Aongous

Chloe and I sold all of the

daffodils Chloe’s mum

brought in. I had my first

toffee apple and it was

delicious. The toffee stuck

to my teeth and I couldn’t

get it off. Isla

Fumiko helped us

make lemonade for

our stall and we

sold it all. It was

sweet and really

nice. The bouncy

castle was one of

my favourite

activities. Olive

Mum’s stall sold homemade biscuits

that you could decorate yourself. I made

two of them. I also went on the bouncy

castle lots of times. Malika
