2K16 Reflection

It has been a great year here at Pt England School. I have learnt a lot and made a lot of new friends. I have been at this school for 8 years and sadly this year is my last year not only learning at this school but it is my last time seeing most of my friends. I may have time to see them again but I wont be able to see them every single day. All I would like to write is thank you to all my the teachers that have taught me and thank you to my friends that have been with me all these years.

Prize Giving

Recently the years 5 to 8 had there prize giving at 7:00pm. Lots of children were given  letters that reveal to there parents they will be getting a prize. Lots on letters were sent out and lots of kids were given there prizes. But after each prize all the year levels had to perform an item of dancing to a song or songs. I am year 8 and for our item we danced to Waterfalls, I got the feeling and see you again. Our dance was ok but the best ones were the year 5 and 6. They danced to latest songs and had a lot of enthusiasm.
