Our Otago Cricket Players!!!

YAY.....Tom, Sam and Jake made it to the Otago Cricket Team. We are so impressed with them all.

We were also very proud of Josh for making it to the trials and has managed to make it into the reserves.
I was impressed with the sportsmanship of those who got in and the attitudes towards our Josh who didn't quite get there this year.

AWESOME values guys.

Madi our star!!

This is Madi and she is in our room, we are very very proud of her because she managed to make it into our Fairfield School Rock band!!!

YAY! She auditioned singing the song 'Knock On Wood' and she even practised in front of our class before hand. I was very impressed with this because it is hard to sing a song to your peers.

She had her first practise today and is the lead in the first song for 2009! Guess what the song is - 'Knock on Wood'!!!

We can't wait to see her on stage for the first time.

Leave a comment and give Madi some praise.
