Super Lucy

There have been lots of posts on the QZealand times about Lucy but today, out of the blue Lucy came dressed as 'Super Lucy' Here are some pictures.

Teddy Bears

Lucy has recently been bringing her teddies to school and she keeps putting them on the stumps with books and things like that. But this time they're on Net Books as you can see the stumps are in a Teddy Teddy Thomas row (Three T's and three Stumps and Three Net Books) If only the toys had Riverdale School uniforms and socks!

A bit of both

OK. Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Well I'm just going to give you the good news.

All the Year Fives who were in LC13 in 2010 are in LC13 in 2011!!!...... Now for the bad news:

All our friends and the well known Year Sixes are leaving Riverdale and moving on to Intermediate.

I hope you enjoy your life as Year 6 and 7's in 2011.

Bye QZealand

Hi QZ! I miss you already. Wish I could stay for another year!! TC, you're the best teacher I've ever had. Keep reminding Mr McNaught to keep practising his pirouettes. Thanks for the best year I've had in my whole Riverdale life. Farewell QZealand, but not for good.
Love, Libby (Sour Cream)

Te Puawai Hangi Being Lit

The Hangi has been officially lit by our kaias Caelum, Corbin and Connor. We are all very excited about the Te Puawai concert tonight, and especially afterwards when we get to eat the food from the hangi! YUM YUM! Well done boys! A great hangi lighting. Have a great night tonight at the concert. WELL DONE AND GOOD LUCK!

QZ Times Update

As you can see the QZealand Times got a new style. The old one was getting a bit boring so it got changed to something that related to our class. It has the four suits, (Clubs, Hearts, Spades, Diamonds) probably because of the Quiz and that the other things we do with our groups. Well we didn't want to make it fluffy bunnies or anything like that because bunnies have nothing to do with QZealand. Well I hope everyone likes it.

Paragraphs

A paragraph is a space where the reader can stare into blankness and absorb what has been written.

A paragraph is like a hotel. A place where you can stop and think.

Although blank, staring into a paragraph can really help with concentration.

TC will love this story because TC likes paragraphs. TC tells me to paragraph.

At a paragraph you can give your brain a rest. You can imagine the charecters. The scene. The plot.

When you stop at a paragraph you can fix the story with your imagination so that it suits you.

At a paragraph you can do anything. Think anything.

A paragraph is like an imaginary world waiting to be stylised.

The End

The gumboot

Room 12 is challenging us to a game for the gumboot - the colourful colourful gumboot.
Maddy, Luce and Zia were the girls who won back the gumboot.

The gumboot was started by Mrs Kenyon. Nancy Won a.k.a 'the Nancinator' decorated it so magnificently.

TC's secret :O**

If you don't like unexpected secrets, CLOSE THIS WEBSITE! If you do like unexpected surprises, continue. It all started with an announcement over the loud speaker.
"DING, DING, DING"
"All students wanting some Stewbulee, line up on the senior deck now please," said Mrs. Helm.

STAMPEDE..! Everyone ran, pushed, shoved, bit and elbowed to get to the senior deck.
"MOVE!!!" shouted Natalya louder than she was on opposite day, and she shoved me into the heater. I felt a button push under my fingers and I fell through the heater. I landed on my emergency sour cream I always kept in my pocket. I got up and I saw... a robot. An ordinary robot. But it had buttons like; drive, talk, laugh, smile, yell, walk and run.

Now there are only two people in QZealand who can drive: TC and Karina. Karina can't be a robot she's too... well, for my own physical health I choose not to describe Karina until at a safe distance. I know!!! TC is a robot! She liked my black hole story and no human could be as random! (apart from me). I wonder if Karina knows? Nah! But if you are reading this, GET ME OUTTA THE HEATER, I'M LOW ON SOUR CREAM!!!

The day I knew what to write**

One day I knew what to write. I got quite famous. Arguably more famous than when I published my cook book; Stewbulee with extra spit. I'll tell you my story; on the day I knew what to write, I am just doing SDL at my desk and staring at Emma. She has the most unusual habit of writing, frowning, scribbling it out and eating the page. I wonder if paper is good for you? I bet it tastes good with sour cream!

But then it comes to me; I close my Anything Book and get out my red and purple book. This book means more to me than sour cream, and I LOVE sour cream. I open the book and start writing faster than my Nanna talks (hard to beat!) and by the time it was morning tea I had written seventy five chapter books. The next day I became famous. Then I became a millionaire! So we gave half the money to charity and spent the rest on Stewbulee. It was a good life. It was such a bummer when I woke up!

Dear PP
My brother ******* flew to Mars today and said
I couldn't come because I have yellow hair. I think this is very unfair because he is so much more immature than me. He also said that I could catch immature disease and that he is immune to it. Oh what can I do? I NEED TO GO TO MARS!!
Yours sincerely, person whose name I don't want mentioned on QZealand times
P.S: I LUV SOUR CREAM!

PP: Well you could tell him that he is yellow and he is as mature as a 2 year old!!

Dear pp
I have a problem. Well it starts with one person in our class. He keeps sucking the pillows
and it is very unhygienic for people who may accidently touch the pillows. So please help me pp.


A. Tell him that you don't like it or ask TC if she could talk to him.
Hope this helps.

Opposite day**

The End
I woke up on Opposite Day, not having a clue about what was going to happen. It was quite frightening. Let me give you a brief explanation; I am walking on the senior deck and I see Kate.
"Hi Kate!" I yell. She turns to face me.
"Leaving so soon?" she asks
"What?" I say
"Never mind." she says and that's when I notice with a start that she brushed her hair.

I walk into QZealand and my mouth drops open; there are strange coloured liquids and powders everywhere!
"MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!" I jump and turn around to see TC! "I have found a potion which will shrink everyone in Palmerston North!", she says. TC was a mess! her hair stands on end, her face is covered in black ash and she is wearing a lab coat. TC is evil. Weird.

Then comes Karina; she has blonde hair in which there lays a flower tiara. She is wearing a yellow daffodil dress with no make up and she is singing to herself and swaying side to side. Karina is a hippy. "TC" says a deep, booming voice I don't recognise "The toilet's backed up again" I spin around to see Mr McCallum and he is SUPER tall and he isn't wearing a vest. Everyone has changed!! Zia is slow, Aidan hates war, Alana is very talkative, Britt is ugly, Caleb can't play the saxophone, Chaz hates dinosaurs, Handy isn't handy, Emma hates smiggle, Grace is not brilliant, Hadley is normal, Hannah isn't my friend, Harry isn't scary, BOB isn't friends with Egg, Kelly doesn't throw things at me, I don't know what's going on, Linda isn't creative, Lucy Brunn hates cats, Michal hasn't got a Mohawk, Nat is violent, Oliver is short, Sara can't play soccer, Sophie hates Sara, Thomas has no friends, Kennedy is enemys with Caleb, Alan is dumb, Maddy is mean, Lucy can't dance, Mr. Mcnaught quit ballet, Natalya is loud, Egg isn't competitive, Kennedy is bad at drawing, my sister isn't annoying... it's like the whole world has been turned around! Sooooooo... I give Alan a calculater, Zia a running tecnique, Introduce Maddy to Oprah, teach Lucy to dance, help Mr. Mcnaught with his pirouettes, Give something to Natalya to make her seem louder than she actually is, tell Egg that girls are better than boys (fact) and as for Mr. MacCullam, I splash some of TCs' shrinking potion on him to put him back to normal size (1.5) signed Aidan up to the Navy, glued Alanas' mouth shut, sent Britt away to a french makeover salon, played Caleb a saxophone song, sent Chaz to a museum, hit Handy on the head with a hammer, bought Emma some silly bandz, gave grace some sour cream, gave Hadley some sort of blue liquid of TC's, said Happy birthday to Hannah, gave Harry a halloween mask, got Egg to write a letter to BOB, gave Kelly a tennis ball and called her a *****, gave Linda a beados set, got Lucy a stuffed cat, gave Michael some gel, got Nat a therapist, got Oliver some high heels, got Mr. Maccullam to put Sara in his soccer team, also sent Sophie to a therapist, gave Thomas a pumpkin with a vivid face, and gave Kennedy a letter "from Caleb" so everything was back to normal. Except for one thing; Kates' hair!
The Start

Spelling Teams**

The spelling teams worked hard out to get to the top and the top three are...

The Dictionaries: Zia, Hannah, Libby, Grace
Spellatitions: Alana, Corbin, Nat, Aidan
Spelling Bees: Emma, Maddy, Luce, Spohie

We have been organizing times for cooking and it's only the people in the team who's name I mentioned.
The groups have to plan and cook a Entree, Main and a desert.

I hope the groups enjoy they're cooking and I'll keep you updated of how it went.

Problem Paula

Q. I want classes to challenge in the gumboot because no classes are and we are getting bored and not playing games. Can you help us get a class to challenge us!!!!!

HANDY

A. Email the class teacher. Say some games and maybe some good times. Well hope this helps.
pp

A. Maybe send some emails to the class and tell them the Gumboot is on the shelf getting mouldy and maybe you could challenge us.
pp

A. Ask students from other classrooms to tell their teachers that they really want the gumboot back and they need to challenge us.

Q. Dear Problem Paula

I always knock the bar over in high jump. People keep on making fun of me and laughing at me cause I can't do high jump. People help me but its really hard to do. I need the high jump to be down the lowest which is really embarrassing. It makes me really angry and it makes me not want to do it any more.

A. Just dont take any notice of them and ask them to stop it. Well hope this helps.
