We've been learning some badminton!

We enjoyed several sessions of badminton this term. Coaches came to the school and taught us the basics of this great game. This video highlights some of the things that we learned during our sessions.

Danger In The Neighbourhood

Hot flaming fire bursts through smashed windows, broken by a destructive earthquake. Collapsed power lines fall, leaning heavily on scorched buildings, adding to the tremendous searing heat. Billowing clouds of black, greasy smoke rise as the fire continues to cause havoc in the neighbourhood.

Multiplication Facts

Hi, my name is Naomi and I have been practising my basic multiplication facts. I am making a six times table movie that will show all of the stuff I have been learning. In this movie there will be some music, and also six quiet, steady instruments. I dont know my six's very well, but it's ok with me, because it shows that I am still learning. When you finally get to watch this, I would really like it if you could leave me a comment.

Skating

While learning how to rollerskate, I felt like I was going to fall.Rollerskating slower than everyone else, it was embarassing. This was the first time in my life to be skating. As one of the teachers helped, I began to get the hang of it.

Rockclimbing

Rockclimbing was so much fun but I didn't like the part when I came back down because it felt like you were dropping off a tall tower. Nervously climbing up one of the highest walls, I wondered to myself,"can I do this?" When one of the parent helpers made the rope tight for me to climb up, I knew that it would be alright.

The Floating Cushion

Have you ever been for a ride on a cushion of air? Well I have. It is called a hovercraft. I would like to tell you about my amazing experience on this machine. Yesterday afternoon I got to ride up and down the path on this hovercraft. Students from Room 18 couldn't wait to have an opportunity to ride on it. There was a lot of shouting and screaming for joy and happiness. I hope I get another turn soon!

Short but Sweet Slide

In the holidays, I went for a swim at the swimarama pools in Panmure. When we got there, I got changed into my togs quickly because I couldn't wait to go down the hydroslide. Running quickly up the stairs, I saw there was hardly anyone there so I got to go down first. It was dark when I went down but it was so much fun that I wanted to go down a second time. Sadly enough, I had to go. Even though I only got to take one turn it was still a lot of fun.
