How Winton got it's name

One night my great, great Grandmother told me a story of how Winton got it's name. She said that before Winton got it's name it was called No Name Town.

All the people that lived in No Name Town had nothing the only things that they had was wet, damp houses and  old wet clothes. All the kids had nothing, the only things they could play with was sticks out of the streams.

But then one day the Mayor of No Name Town came into town and said,
"This Town needs a name it is bad enough that it's wet, damp and muddy all day everyday. No Name Town is a bad name, so in a fortnight we will have a game. There will be two teams. One of them will be called, "Winton", and the other team will be called, "No Name Town". If Winton wins the town will be called Winton and if it doesn't the town will stay with No Name".

A fortnight later, it was great. It was a warm, sunny day, There was all sorts of equipment for a poor town, There was games like high jump, running, egg spoon, sack race and lots more. That afternoon both teams were competing against each other. Both teams were ready to hear that whistle go, both teams were really excited and really competitive and ready to win. As soon as that whistle went they were off like Cheaters it was amazing.

That mid afternoon, they were about to announce who won the challenge. "WINTON WON"! The Mayor yelled, all the crowd was so happy that they would be living in a town with a great name.

Once the Mayor got the sign up much, much, much more people started coming to live in Winton so that meant that the Mayor got much more money in, so with that money he painted all the houses, got better things in for the shops and he named all the streets.

So thats the story of how Winton got it's name. By Aimee

Lei

In Room 1 we have been learning how to make Lei's. We're not making them yet,we're just sorting out what equipment we are going to use to make them.

We have to use products or Colours that are important to our community. Some people are using wrappers off packets of Butter. Butter is important to our community because it represents the dairy community. We have lots of dairy farms in Southland.

I am using Colours that are important to Southland. All the Colours that I am using are going to be on pieces of Ribbon. The colours I am using are Red,Blue.Green and Yellow. Represents the Heart of Southland, Blue represents the Sky and Water, The Green stands for Grass, And last of all Yellow, Yellow means light, I am also going to use White Beads in between the pieces of Ribbon so that it spaces out.

Ice Cream Advertisement

In Room One we have been making an Ice Cream Poster for an Ice Cream that we have designed.  We have had to put a descriptive title, a question and a catchy slogan to catch peoples attention.
My group's title is Choc-o-Lumps and our question is 'Are you ready for a lumpy bumpy Choc-o-Lump?' and the last one is our Catchy Slogan and that is Sweet Treat and You'll fall in love. We would like to target everybody.
We all have a group of two or three people. I have three people in my group. We are doing this for our Science experiment. I think this is a great experiment for everybody in our class.

This is Aimee's and her groups ads.

Our Ice Cream is made out of Pinapple Lumps and Chocolate Sauce. We hope that everybody will love our Ice Cream and we will win the competition but even if we don't win the competition I will still be really happy I got to be in it.
 As a group we have been working well together but we have had our ups and downs but we still hope that everybody thinks that it is either the best Ice Cream flavour they have ever tasted or one of there favourite Ice Creams. I have had a fantastic time making the Poster for the Ice Cream and I can't wait to make the Ice Cream.
