On Wednesday night Fordell school had a production  at the Fordell Hall. The production was the Jabberwocky.My favourite part was when Lauren was kicking George. I helped the little kids. Well done everyone.

 

Hockey

On Wednesday Fordell Blue's played Gonvile Blue. It was a tight game by us winning 4-3. I think we played a good game. Great work everyone this season, we finished 3rd. See you next year at the Hockey turf!

My Speech

Many people have a dog but I have the best one! My pet dog Ruby. She is a Fox Terrior. She is white with brown spots.

Usually she is a quiet dog but doesn't like being harassed by the pup. She fights back bang, scream and chomp! Then it's quite again.

We got Ruby in August 2004. Ruby is not like other Fox terriors, they like to chase rabbits and balls. Ruby might chase the odd rabbit, but she prefers cows.

Ruby has had 3 litters of pups, and 22 puppies altogether! Ruby is a great mother. All her puppies have new homes, 2 of them are in Fordell. Some times she looks like she might miss her puppies, but then she's got me!

Ruby's day starts at 5am with my dad when it's time to go on the farm. When I am at home we run around together.

Ruby usually does what she is told, but she does like to jump up on people and she won't learn any tricks. So don't bother trying.

At the end of the day she gets a few biscuits, curls up on her grey bean bag on the back porch and has a sleep. Sometimes I'll sneak her a treat.

                                                                    My dog Ruby really is the best!

Animal reasearch, New Zealand Bat By George

The New Zealand Bat is up to about 22g. It is about 7cm long. A colony of around 300 short-tailed bats was found in the Waiohine Valley of the Tararua Forest Park in the late 1990's. There are two species of short-tailed bat. The greater short-tailed bat (Mystacina robusta) was found on two islands off Stewart Island but following an invasion of ship rats, it was last sighted in 1967 and is probably extinct.
