We are the first year 7s back at Wakefield School in a very long time. This year we have been doing lots of fun things like the lookout challenge we had big boxes and made them into rockets, animals and all kinds of things then wee we were finished we went to the lookout and raced them down the hill and when we were coming back we only had bits of cardboard because they all got destroyed. We have also been down to Wai-iti River to catch some cockabillies and lots of other cool things. We have new furniture and a brand new kitchen. I'm going to tell you about the kitchen. The new kitchen has just been expanded a lot and has all new ovens and fridges and it's really cool. We have cooked in there once and we cooked scones for the opening of the kitchen and that's how it is being a year 7. -Indie

Being the first year 7s in a long time at Wakefield School, we have been doing some new things. One of my highlights that we did at the start of the year was something called the Lookout Challenge, where everybody in the class got a group and a cardboard box. Your group could modify the box how you wanted it. We all got about a week to modify the boxes to how we wanted them. Then we sent them down the Lookout with almost every box rolling down the hill. At the end, nobody came back with their box in one piece.  - Tyler

We are the first Year 7s in 65 years! We made cardboard creations and then went down the hill at the Lookout in them. A week later we went to the Wai-Iti River and caught some fish. Everyone caught cockabullies. A few days later we went for a small walk to Faulkner's Bush. At school, we are designing beanies for camp and we are also preparing food for camp in our new kitchen. We made scones for the grand opening. - Ruby
