swim week

Last week we had swim week at the Aquatic Centre where you had to be in the schools top group to go. We practiced our lengths and we learn' t to stay with our boat if it tips. i learnt how to dive and not do belly flops.

turtle

This is me and my brother holding a photo of "John" the leatherback sea turtle . We were asked by our grandma's pen friend who lives over in California, USA to help out her grandson and his class, also of California. It is a race in their class to see which turtle travels 6 continents the fastest and wins. Hopefully we will find out how "John" got on and will let you know. At the same time they are also learning about the continents that the turtles have travelled.

skiing

On the last day of school our class went up to the Rainbow Ski Field. I learnt how to ski and had a really great time. Some kids did snow boarding but i chose to ski.
We didn't have a snow ball fight because we ran out of time. When we got to the car park at Rainbow, we were met by the bus which took us up the hill. We then had a 90 minute ski lesson to show us what to do. It was a long day but fun.

news paper

Our class made a news paper for the whole school. It was meant to be sent out on the 15 of this month but because of a small problem it was sent out this week. It has everything from complaints, to puzzles, and lots of information. We enjoyed doing it and I think we made a good effort.

Jokes

GIRL: "Why?"
BOY: "Because then you would be in a cast for weeks."



What is faster HOT or COLD?

HOT because you can catch a cold.

Sports day

At school today we had the school Olympics and first it started off with a dance from each class like an opening ceremony. Then we did a torch relay, then after that we started the Olympics. I got one gold and that was for the athletics. We had to compete in 5 different sports, archery, weight lifting, obstical coarse, athletics and discus throwing.

Daisy

We've been given a wee lamb and we have named her Daisy. She is really cute and she is fun to play with. She follows my brother and I where ever we go around the place.

My teeth

Today i said goodbye to two of my teeth. I had to go to the dentist and have them pulled out. At the end of the year I am to have braces on some of my teeth. I was very brave. It's the holidays now so I can sleep in. I like that in a holiday.

My running

I came 3rd in the cross country. I lead some of the way. I was really pleased with myself. I got a certificate and a photo of me running. i was really puffed at the end.

X Country

Its that time again and yesterday we had our school x country and this time I came first in my age group. Next week I am competing against 4 other schools so hopefully I will do ok then too. Hopefully I can bet Jackson V as he is quite fast. (Miss K you should come and watch us) .
