She's Back

As you can see by this picture I have been spying around the school.
If you zoom in on the picture its unmistakably MRS PECK!
If you don't believe me then click it and zoom.


This means that Mrs Peck is in the school!

Pic of Jack

One day about two weeks ago there were two Turbos at our school! A handful from each class were selected to play with them and one of those lucky players was Jack, seen here with ex-Riverdalian, Kurt Baker.

After the crowd of people asked for autographs the two Turbo players left (I personally think that the crowd was a bit
off putting!).

Congrats /'^* !

Rob The Goblin's Funny Story!

Once upon a time in a faraway land lived Nothing. Actually Something did live there but it was Nothing. It didn’t live on Anything either. One day Nothing went to Anything but Something was there so Nothing went away. Anything was Left and he met Right but Right was Wrong. Wrong went away he took Right but not Left. Left was left. Left was Anything. Nothing came back! Anything came back! Something also came back! Back went to Front. Something got Back to Front.

In Back To Front Land, Nothing came back. Something went back to Front. Front called Nothing, Nothing called Back. Front went with Nothing. Back was left with Right. Right went left. It found Left.

THE END

Dear Problem Paula.

I am having trouble with my Odd Jobber job because I have no one that has applied for the job. Why won't anyone apply? Maybe you can help me.

Sad Loss

Today was a very sad day. It was the day Kenya Mclaughlin left Riverdale school & QZealand. Even though Kenya has left Riverdale school she has not left our hearts. We will miss Kenya's smile as we walk though QZealand. We hope Kenya will still contact us. We hope to someday see her again.

QZealand Loses The Gumboot.

On the 4th of September LC11 challenged QZealand to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. It's a very much luck game which gave them a 50% chance of beating us.

They were 4 points ahead when QZealand caught up to them. Then LC11 got up to 6 points and time was up. QZealand had lost. M.U.C.E. College teacher Miss Kosh said, "Qzealand students had a good attitude and showed great sportsmanship even though they lost."

Tapuwae

In QZealand we are playing Tapuwae. It is greatly exciting and I hope we play it more. We are playing it in the Intergalactic cup. Madagascar and UK won their last matches, while NZ and Aussie lost. Boo Hoo. It is a great game and I thank T.C for introducing it to us.

Problem Paula

Q:Dear Problem Paula

QZealand has got the Gumboot, but no one is challenging us. We all want someone to challenge us!

A:
I would email the other classes teachers and tell them your situation. Suggest some games that you think would be good for you to play. Hopefully you will soon be challenged. Remember it does not have to be sport either. Hope this helps.

Q:Dear Problem Paula

Do you ever get problems? Well I have one and here it is.

"My friend *********** is really upset and gets mood swings

WHAT SHOULD I DO ????????????????

A:
If your friend ********** is having mood swings then talk to her about it. She is obviously going though a hard time at the moment.

Hope this helps.

The Gumboot Trophy

There is a Silver trophy called the Silver Gumboot. LC 11 created the gumboot and LC 13 won the trophy after playing Ripper Bullrush. The classroom that has the gumboot has to be challenged but the classroom that has

the trophy can’t challenge others. It is only between Senior Skyscraper classes. LC13 is at the top and we have had the gumboot ever since it’s started. The Senior Skyscrapers have really good sportspeople. What an exciting competition it is going to be.

Invisible Friends!

Now in QZealand lots of people have imaginary friends/pets. The two creators Dan and Ollie started it off with Rainbow Coloured pets but then every one wanted one so... I (Callum) have an imaginary Magical Phoenix, Malachi has a Magical Turtle, Rob The Goblin has an Invisible Invisible, Daniel has a Rainbow Coloured Teddy Bear, Ollie has a Rainbow Coloured Unicorn, Wiri has a Rainbow Coloured Spider Monkey (which Erin claimed to have first. They may go to court with their lawyers to fight for their pets.) and Gracie & Maddie have Rainbow Coloured Miley Corns.

The currency in Invisible Land is Yites pronounced (Yits) it costs 100 Yites to buy any invisible friend which you design. 1 Yites is worth $20.00 in New Zealand & s200 in QZealand. Ask Daniel or Ollie to buy one for you. Remember feed them at 6.45.5566.PM exact or something bad will happen. Remember give Dan or Ollie your Yites so you can buy one pet.

Q:Dear Problem Paula.

I am getting annoyed about the quiz because I get all the hard questions and other people get easy questions. I hope you can help.

Anon

A:Dear Anon
I understand this too because It has happened to me. For example I got a question like "What is the capital of Spain?" and someone else got a question like "What is the name of the red teletubby?" I would talk to your teacher because its not fair to give smarter people harder questions (or the other way around).
Hope this helps.

Google 4 Google Winners!

Yesterday (2nd of September) we found out the 8 winners that are going to submit their entries. The winners from our class are Oliver, Robert, Catie and Kenya. Here are their entries.

Story by Jazzy

Spike the Wonder Cat was a sweet, wonderful, curious and playful cat. But oh, what a lot of work! He would begin each morning by waking us up for breakfast. Thoughtful of him, but his technique was unique. He could have purred us awake or licked our noses with his rough little tongue, in fact, he should have done that. But instead he would climb up onto Mum & Dad’s headboard, crouch and summon all of his energy and power and then within a blink of an eye he had already done a humongous body slam landing *SPLAT* in the middle of our chests almost giving us a heart attack! This was cruel but effective.

۞ ۞ ۞

As a kitten his mornings were spent climbing curtains and then crying repeatedly when he got stuck at the top until he was rescued and lifted safely down to ground level again. This would happen three or four times before he got bored, or Mum’s threats were listened to.

۞ ۞ ۞

At lunch time he went down the road to a large old house where a group of students he’d made friends with lived. They always had takeaways lying around on the front porch. Spike could often be seen pigging-out when their backs were turned or they went inside. Once he came home with a big patch of dirt stuck in the fur on the top of his head. We guess it was thrown at him as a reminder to ask before stuffing his face.

۞ ۞ ۞

Actually most of his day was spent in search of food. He could sit for hours on the back fence staring onto the neighbour's kitchen-often freaking out and causing them to roll down their blind. The only thing that could drive him away from this task was when he heard our fridge door open. You had to plan what you wanted to get out beforehand because he would ZOOM into the kitchen as fast as a jackrabbit on the highway and steal a mushroom or anything else within reach. You had to be quick to block him with your feet, but this didn’t always work as he was a very determined cat.

۞ ۞ ۞

He was (of cause) a very calm and stubborn cat that wasn’t easily surprised. Mum often had to pick him up and move him from the driveway so that her friends could leave in their cars. Strong hoots from the cars were absolutely and completely ignored. He could have just listened to powerful and threatening hoots of the cars, but, instead decided to be just plain thick and be a nuisance instead. We’d also often heard cars hooting abuse on the road when he wouldn’t budge. Being a dark grey road-coloured cat, he was lucky to be seen at all!

۞ ۞ ۞

Maybe he wasn’t stubborn, just plain thick, as he never did work out glass. If he saw a bird outside (even a bird cage) he would run like lightning through the lounge and living room and smash head first into the glass doors possibly crushing more brain cells.

۞ ۞ ۞

It was a good thing that we loved him, because I don’t think anyone else would’ve put up with him.

Stupid Rainbow Coloured Things?

Rainbow coloured things are stupid. They drift away from all of the work and they make people call out and not get strikes. Normally you would get two strikes but not when we are talking about rainbow coloured things. They are boring and they take up a lot of time which means less SDL. I hate them they should be banned.

Story by callum

Here is a story by Callum I hope you enjoy!



Now have you ever seen how your sausage is made on lunch order day? Well if not here is how.

You drop off the envelope with money in at the office. They take all the envelopes to the ocean were there is a cannon. The cannon fires them half way across the ocean. Then they land in a life raft. On the life raft there is a catapult and two jet engines on the back. The raft jets across the ocean to KRAKATOA! (The scariest volcano in the world!)

The catapult then fires the envelopes out of the atmosphere. As the envelopes come back down they blast though the atmosphere and into KRAKATOA! Hmmmmm. How do the envelopes land exactly in KRAKATOA? Well Albert Eienstein tested it with the same raft. He used special dummy envelopes to mathematically test its used weight. His best friend Archimedes helped him get the correct weight and answers in his tests. Now back to the envelopes.

On a ledge inside KRAKATOA! There is a person from the P.T.A. who has a net to catch the envelopes. The P.T.A. member catches all the envelopes coming down, then calls the school and asks each person why they are buying a sausage. Why do they ask, some people may say? Well some people are just plain nosy!

The P.T.A member puts each of the envelopes on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt takes the envelopes to a robot. The robot is very dumb! The robot is so dumb that he talks to the envelopes and asks them questions. Then he checks there is money in there and chucks a raw sausage for that person into the lava below.

The lava shoots all of the sausages up into the air were they fall into a pit. There a man puts bread and sauce on each one. Then each person comes and picks up their sausage and voila a sausage!

Trip To Wallys Lollies

On Wednesday the 2nd of September a small group (I mean large - there was 16 of us!) went to Wally's Lollies. It is a lolly factory in Feilding. We all liked seeing the types of lollies they made. We even got some free Raspberry Drops. While we were were there I took some videos. Here are the best few.

Here they are making black balls with a stripe. When the black balls with a white stripe were coming down the conveyor belt we were allowed to pick out 2 black balls straight out! We even got some cool tins to keep the lollies in.
