Lucy’s editorial This year’s magazine is about what we’ve achieved and done this year. The Spreydon school magazine is being done by us children. This is one of the opportunities we have at our school. There are lots of other opportunities as well like Zones which are swimming, cross country, triathlon, athletics plus Literacy quiz. You can also be a House Leader, Ambassador, Librarian or you can be in the school Council. If you come to Spreydon School you could have these opportunities too. Lucy Smith Editor

Choir choir is very fun .mrs norquay teaches us .she is a very good teacher

area festival On the second and third of june the spreydon choir went to the halmorton high school for the area festival.It started off with a pieceful song called were the future and ended with a joyful song called we absolutly have to have music. In between where these cool songs the flower that shatterd the stone, pakeke o mati mati,the ghost ship, let there be a voice and down by the river side. Spreydon has approximatly 50 children so we made a good sound when we sung our two songs called down by the river side and we absoultly have to have music and it i think we where the best. all the children in the choir had a great time and the audience did to. by Ashleigh Haugh

Music Festival

Special Choir Our special choir teacher is Mrs Norquay. Our special choir rehearsal went smooth like normal and when the big night came we blew the roof of the place.Basicly anyway.There were heaps of schools at the music festival and they showed that they had put a lot of work into the rehearsing. All the schools were great even though some had been a little quite but the audience didn't notice .That was lucky .All of us were good singers.The teachers were good instructers.We had an awsome time and we sang heaps of songs and we rocked, of course.The special choir had a fantastic time sing with Mrs. Norquay.{Vic H changed and added}

All of the characters were awesome. We had to practiced and practiced.The poolside syndicate perfomed on tuesday. one performance in the evening and one at night. the characters were very nervious and hot .The night performance was a lot better because it wasn't hot and sweaty .But we were still nervious but at the end we were very proud.Mr Heron was the increidble directer for this one hit wonder. Mixed up nursery rythmes The riverside syndicate preformed mixed up nursrey rythme s that had heaps of cool poems that were your basic nursery rythmes .Some little kids forgot a bit of there lines but it was wonderful anyway.Mrs Blakie was the director of this wonderful preformance .She helped the preformers say there lines when they were stuck .The preformers were very cute and so great even though they were shy and nervious.They were dressed in bright and dark clothes that looked recycled.Some clothes were painted and some werejust paper and cardboard.{Vic H changed and added} Duffy Jump on a dream and go real far because we're Duffy kids at Spreydon School. At the end of each term every child get a Duffy book of their choice, and if we're lucky we get two amazing books by incredible childrens authors who have made a living by growing the imaginations of the thoughtful children of Spreydon School.The idea of giving the children of Spreydon was a good one and still is as we enjoy reading on a whole new level! Every year Duffy books in homes puts on a couple of mistic and magical plays for the whole school and everyone comes out smiling and the talk about the show goes on till the end of the week .Anyway lets go back to the subject - Duffy has made it easier for the younger children to read the harder words.They have a range of choices from little picture books to big fat chapter books and in that selection the children chose four books just in case first request isn't there. Have fun reading !! By Victoria Harwood
