Last Wednesday p2/3 and p4/5 went to play golf at the Machire golf coarse. At the golf coarse we did putting, chipping, shooting.  We took the school mini bus to the Machire. MR. Gaudie, Mrs Ramsey, Mr Gairns thought us how to play golf. The Machire grass was really wet and boggy so it was harder to play golf at the golf course. we also saw a smashed golf buggy behind the fence. There were a lot of animals by the golf coarse.

On Friday 2nd May p2/3 made a Beetle Drive with a raffle. In the game we had to make small sheets to draw the beetles on. Number 1 was the body, and number  2 was the head, number 3 was the antennae, number 4 was the eyes  number 5 was the mouth and number 6 was the legs. To get the numbers you had to roll a dice and who ever won got a prize. We played three games. It was so much fun. We won one raffle prize it was a fantastic raffle.
