Daffodil Day Gala

3rd September 2015 - Week 7 Term 3
Daffodil Day Gala
Thank you to everyone who came and supported our Daffodil Gala last Friday.
We raised a total of $1,377.70 for the NZ Cancer Society.
The weather was kind to us last Friday for Daffodil Day and what a great day it was with lots of action
and excitement. The children were really excited to plan and set up their own stalls and they were
responsible for running them during the afternoon. For many they reckon it is the best day of the year.
The cooking required parent support and a huge thanks goes to those parents who spent the afternoon
helping out.
Thanks also to Fresh Choice for the donation of sausages and to Russell at Pohara General Store for
donating the lollies again for the “Guess The Lollies in the Jar”, and Dean at NBS for the use of the
Bouncy Castle. Your support on this day was really appreciated.
Tackle 7’s
The Tackle 7’s tournament was postponed this week
and a date will be set once the weather settles.
The Tackle 7’s team is Caleb, Chris, Rhys W, Leo,
Alex, Tane, Kegan, William, Riley O, Xavier.

Daffodil Day
By Jay Anderson
The bell rang. It was twelve o’clock. The first
customer was here. He wanted a cheese toasted
sandwich, which was five tokens.
Ten minutes later. We were working like mad.
Finally, Natasha came with some kambucha.
Arjuna got a cup and poured the kambucha into a
cup and gave it to Caitlin. Then I got my tokens
and got a sausage. It was good. Then we went on
the field and we played rippa rugby. I had heaps
of turns on the bouncy castle. After we tidied up
the school, we got to have free goes.
It was a great day. Next year I want to make
toasted sandwiches again.

Daffodil Day
By Holley
“Let’s go,” I said to Mum. “It’s daffodil day today.”
I get my clown costume on. Time to set up my stall.
I pumped up my long skinny balloons and began to
twist them into dog shapes.
POP!! “Oops, a balloon popped,” I said to myself.
Never mind. I will pump up another one.
Lots of people bought my balloons.
No more balloons for sale.
I set off to buy something else.
“Look, a toffee apple, Yum!!” I said to my little sister,
Scarlett.
Next I went to Renford and made a basket out of flax.
It took a very long time.
Now the basket is hanging up in our truck, and Mum
keeps her phone in it sometimes.
I love selling things and making things and buying things
at Daffodil Day.

Little baby birds chirping in the trees
The baby lambs frolicking below
Sweet spring smell of daffodils
The taste of sherbet and toffee apples in my mouth
Lime, green grass floating in the wind
Lemon, yellow daffodils drifting through the breeze
All of the daffodils bringing a shine to the world
All the daffodils reminding people of a fresh new start

Spring is here
Little lambs skipping, jumping.
The taste toffee apples and sherbet in your mouth
Daffodils dancing in the wind
Memories of people we have lost
Relief for people who survived
The bright happy colours of daffodils bring hope to
the world

Daffodil Day
I can taste the stickiness of toffee apples
I can hear the screams and laughter of
kids having fun
I can touch kids and feel excitement
rushing through them
I can smell the sausages sizzling on the
grill
I can also feel people sitting in hospital
worried that they are not going to
survive
I can feel people having hope in
themselves because it is Daffodil Day!!!
By Rhianne
Daffodil
The smell of the Yellow Daffodils
Birds singing, bees buzzing and kids laughing
I taste the toffee apples in my mouth
Raising money for the Cancer Society
Daffodil Day helped my Nana survive
Thanks you Daffodil Day
By Caleb
Daffodil Day
Colours popping out from everywhere
Butterflies dancing around the yellow
flowers
The smell of sugar flying around
Kids screams and laughter bursting through
my ears
The taste of fresh air
The feel of hope floating in to my skin
But the sorrow for those who die of cancer
By Nina
Daffodil Hope
Lambs are being born, flowers are spreading, it’s spring and today is
daffodil day.
Everybody is getting ready. Smiles are spreading and our hopes are
heading to those with cancer.
Ding, ding, ding! The bell has rung it’s time for some fun.
I taste the sweet toffee apple when I use my tongue to get it off my
teeth.
I smell the warm smell of sausages on the grill.
I feel smooth grass running through my fingers.
I see bright colours and smiling faces.
I see people running and doing races.
Today was great and I cannot wait until another great daffodil day.
By Mya
Mum and Renford helped me make a flax
basket. It was one of the best days. My
stall sold sunflower seeds and we sold
most of them. Aongous
Mum’s stall sold homemade biscuits
that you could decorate yourself. I made
two of them. I also went on the bouncy
castle lots of times. Malika
Chloe and I sold all of the
daffodils Chloe’s mum
brought in. I had my first
toffee apple and it was
delicious. The toffee stuck
to my teeth and I couldn’t
get it off. Isla
Fumiko helped us
make lemonade for
our stall and we
sold it all. It was
sweet and really
nice. The bouncy
castle was one of
my favourite
activities. Olive
