SP CHRONICLES
6 June 2023

Jinkies, it seems we have a mystery

on our hands!

Blue bird is missing!!! But where did he go? 3 Weeks ago Seth du Plessis, a grade
3 student in Mr. Rungasamy's class, bought himself a mystery chocolate egg. And
inside was a blue plastic toy bird. Long story short! Blue bird is missing and it all
went downhill from there....

The SP Chronicles team interviewed Miss. Eden Pillay who waters Cleo, the class
plant, and the main reason why Blue Bird was brought to school in the first place,
so Cleo won't have to be so lonely. The class windows are usually open and the
monkeys come in but they won't really eat Blue Bird.... Or would they?

Blue Bird sits in the soil pot throughout the day. Since it's not the type that can fly
away on it's own being plastic and all, we have come to the conclusion that
someone must have moved it.
Miss Pillay does not have a clue as to who could have taken it.
For all we know it could have fallen on the ground and got vacuumed by mistake.
The possibilities of what really happened are endless.
The grade 3 class, however, thinks that someone took it by mistake and might be
too scared to bring it back.
Every animal has it's place (real or toy) in the environment. To remove it can
cause pandemonium (like it has with Blue Bird).
All we hope is that Blue Bird returns soon. If you have any clue where we could
find Blue Bird please let the grade 3 class know; but only during breaks or after
school.
We are all hoping for a safe return.

SPORT
Please continue to come to the netball and soccer training sessions.
Even though we are done with our winter sport tournaments.
It is vital that you attend.

In this week's sports edition we had the privilege to interview Tristan Rossouw.
Tristan is a grade 9 student who enjoys cricket a lot and is really good at it.
Tristan started playing at the age of 11 and now plays for the u19 team. This is not
his first time playing at a tournament. He recently had a phenomenal game at
Umzinto.
Our hope is that Tristan never loses the love he has for the game.
