**May 30, Ibrahim M.**
May 30 was probably the day where The Gardens School had the biggest laugh in 2013. This laugh was about fishing. A man named the "Minstrel" came into the school hall with his wife, playing nice tunes of fishing on his guitar, while the students piled up in front of the Minstrel. When the time came, he started calling boys "bobo" and girls "sweetie pie". He would ask questions about fishing, then ask any student who knows the answer to come up front. The Minstrel would make funny jokes and make the school crack up. But he didn't come just to make us laugh. He explained what to do if you catch a fish, from what size it has to be to putting it in a cool place. He would sing songs to help us answer the questions he would give. He told us funny stories about fishing, and even told us what to do if your boat crashed. The whole event took about an hour and a half. I couldn't take everything since I was too much entertained with his humor. Hope this event comes again this terrific year. || || The Linguists, led by Mrs Bull, charged an attack against the school to show what they do! But the juniors counter-attacked with their curious minds. It was chaotic, with kids crowding the Linguists, challenging them from chopstick challenges to knowing names in different languages to even board game competitions. The chaos lasted for 30 minutes until the Linguists were taken down, left to pick up the mess. But it was such and amazing event! || **May 13-17, By Ibrahim M**. Travel Wise week, in my opinion, was probably an opportunity for kids to get a free lunch by walking to school! But the real reason for it was so we can encourage kids to WALK and SCOOTER to school, instead of taking a vehicle that harms the planets environment. Things like cars, buses, trains and other vehicles produce harmful gases, which adds to the destruction of our unique planet. So we decided to add Travel Wise week, but not many would take a tiresome walk to school, so free calcium drinks were added to let kids think of a prize that's worth it. When the week ended, 138 students scooted, with and additional 380 that walked. Some even got to hang out with Max the Pukeko! A big event indeed! ||
