Hi Kauri,

It's my last year at Chertsey I will miss you guys a lot when I'm at Ashburton Intermediate. Both my older sisters are at college. Have any of you heard of the author named Jacqueline Wilson? I'm reading one of her books called Opal Plumstead it's really good and descriptive. My final thing is my dog Minnie got into chocolate and had to go to the vet and forced to throw it up and she's OK!

All about Kauri

Kauri

I was so excited last year when  found out that I was in Kauri.When i saw Kauri for the first time I was very excited it was full of art and was covered in photos and had two computers in the corner.When the summer holidays were over I started in Kauri and it looked beautiful it was empty though but when the day had started Mr Hornby said that at the end of the year the room would be full of art and photos and flags and Rugby t-shirts and he was right our room is full of all of those things and it looks totally different to what it was last year.
