Timeline at Sockburn School

Timeline of my time at Sockburn School

My time at Sockburn School has been a long process from when I started as a New Entrant. Good things and bad things have happened in that time. This is my story.

My time began as a new entrant with Mrs Marshall in room 9.
I can’t remember much because it was a long time ago. But I remember making my first friend and friend to this very day, his name is Greg.

Next I went to room 13, the only classroom I was not with my best friend. I had Mrs Clements and this was the year I got most of my  many certificates. I remember taking a swim  in the pool and when I was on the steps in the pool I Jumped

Room 11 was with Mr Crookbain
This year I remember that Greg and I tried to answer a hard math question and I don’t remember if we answered or not. But we spent a lot of time on it. I did a lot of gardening that year but it hadn't rubbed on me.  I did Action sports instead of doing hagley.

Now onto what was probably my favorite year in room 5 with Mr Kerr!
This year there was a sticker chart I got 2nd, 4th and 3rd. That year Greg and I dominated horses and jockeys, I was the horse all the time!
In between games, we did basic facts sheets. There were also Kerr credits. I had the 3rd highest total with about 1100 odd credits. I bought two scarves for 500 and 600 then I gave 60 to Greg because he went broke! He spent his credits on an inflatable basket ball that he does not use.
This year I played for the Football A Team and we won our grade that year!    
Room 1 with Mrs North… well what a year it was. I use my vocal cords to the max! I learnt how to master the art of division with Mrs North. I was in the Football A team again but this year we went as successful!

Kahikatea with Mrs Boswell, Mr Barrow and halfway through  term 2 Miss McCormick.
This year was full of laughs and giggles and success with being a house leader and winning the Kerr shield which was awesome! I got third in my grade for the Football A team, won some books and awards did a triple shift in road patrol. But you can't forget the puns like WOOD you like a hand and this is Treerific. Later in term 3 swimming with just going back and forth with freestyle, backstroke and many more.Going to the A&P show and getting too see John Key and Gerry Brownlee, Also getting a ton of free stuff. I entered a competition to win stuff. Early this year going to the Margaret Mahy playground Brad and I tried to see how fast we could go down the huge slide and we had success launching off the end.


Thanks to all the teachers who have taught me through the years and supported me and it will be weird not being here.

Lake Rotoiti

Lake Rotoiti
Vroom!  Driving through St Arnaud We see a bright yellow sign that says Lake Rotoiti. Then my Dad says “Lets go there” he said everyone in the car agreed (My mum, Tom, My Dad and myself.) We drive down there it was a really nice day. Next we all got out of the car and look out all over the lake and the water was super clear. I looked out over the flamboyant lake and I could see the bottom.
Next we each had our photo taken Tom and I both stood beside each other and smiled. After that I took a photo of my Mum And Dad, then I thought what a beautiful place.
With this in my complex mind I think I would love to go diving there one day and look around for Brown trout. As we leave I see a well presented trailer that says sailing “could we do that” I ask  My Dad says “no because we got to drive  2 hours to go back home” “OK”  I say. But I think this place will be in my mind forever.  As we drive out there was no traffic at all!
