The loss of the gumboot

NO!!! QZ lost the gumboot!
It all happened on Friday afternoon when QManawatu aka L.C 12 challenged us to a game of Freakball. Of course QManawatu is very good at Freakball because they have practiced a lot. QZ was not.
The score was 22-8 to QM aka L.C.12
Here's what some QZealanders have to say.
Kate - I cant believe that we lost the gumboot!

Corbin -I was very disappointed because QZ is the best class but we will win it back!

Libby - I feel sad that we lost the gumboot.

Nat - I feel sad. But we will win it back.

Ollie - I felt as angry as a gorilla. But we will win it back.( good simile Ollie!)

Sara - I felt annoyed that we lost the gum boot

Poor old Mike**

Yesterday, poor Mike slid over a nail and ripped some skin off! Q Zealand Times reporters asked him some questions.

How did it happen?
I slid over a nail on the deck and had to get stitches.

How long did the stitches take?
Three minutes.

Did it hurt?
Only the injection. (OMG)

Where did it happen?
On the deck outside LC12 opposite the door.

Mike says the had to wait for the doctor for half an hour with a gaping hole in his leg!! He got 5 blue stitches.

Breaking News!

Breaking News there has been a horrible accident! Emz has BROKEN her foot, yes her foot. It all happened when LC 13 AKA QZealand went to the hall for a game of Multi-Sport for the Intergalactic Trophy. As Tee Cee called out Mini ball Emz ran as fast as she could to get the ball then Wiri knocked her over! "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Emz. Little did we know this scream was because Emz had broken not one not two but three bones in her foot and tore some tendons. So there you have it guys, the news about Emz's leg.
