I think we have enough bits tomake up 4-6 good school bikes. I have even hadsome people talk to me about making some sort of

permanent bike track on the school grounds: what

will. However, we are endeavouring to have ALL children involved (asthe choir, walk on rolls, stage hands etc). If your child has a speaking rolePLEASE encourage them to learn their linespreferably a little eachnight.

machines.

greatest simple machine, the wedgeis used for splitting things the

gether in a V shape , the wedge isat the tip of the V.

Today Mr Casey took Ngarua overto his house and we saw Noah lift

Mr Casey a foot off the ground

with 1 hand! How did he do it? He
