Camp Snapshots

Anzac Founders Park

ISEL had a great Monday with us going to the Anzac Display at Founders Park which was amazing!
 Room 12 had the great pleasure of going in first and after them it was Room 15 and we all saw the people in their costumes acting in the past.
We all learnt about how codes were secretly sent and how to crack them, it was really cool.
After that, Room 15 went into this big building which was quite dark inside and the people their were re-enacting what had happened in World War 2. There were small old shops and the people in them took us in and told us how they had survived in the past. They all told us to run inside this little pub and look outside the window and then suddenly this big explosion went off and scared quite a lot of people in the class. 
Then we all waited in this small shelter for the all clear after the bomb.
After the re-enactment we all went around looking at the old buildings which was fun.
We all had the best time there and we couldn't have done all this without the hard work of the teachers and the parents. ISEL had the best time there.

Last week room 15 did the cycle challenge and won the competion even though our house leader Billy fell over and got us 15 points. The challenge was to get the least amount of points when going through the course. WELL DONE ROOM 15.

These two boys just went down to trial for N.T.C (National Talent Centre) for football on March the 17th in Timaru.

Out of 40 of the best football players in the South Island who trialled only around about 17 got in!

They have just found out that both of them made it in as well.

 Now they have to go Christchurch for a week in the school holidays to train with all the other boys who also made it in. They are being taught by four of the best coaches in the South Island and some X all white players.

Well done boys and good luck for in Christchurch! :) *_*
