Cross Country

Earlier this term we had our Cross Country.  I would have liked it to be at Minogue Park but we had to have it at school because of the weather.  Just before the race started I felt nervous because I was against a lot of fast people.  My goal was to get a placing in the top 5.  I ended up coming 6th.  When it finished I felt puffed.  Next time I might practice every day for a minutes. 

THE HARDEST TIME EVER

The Hardest Time Ever

It was my first ever time kayaking.  I wasn’t really good at it.  I was feeling nervous before we started and I didn’t want to do it at all.  Once I tried it, it was really fun.  

Thinglink Poetry

WALT: Write a cinquin poem. Today we had to collect a leaf and use the leaf to create a picture. Then we had to write a poem about what we turned the leaf into. Hover over my bullet point to read my poem.

Reading-Summarising

I have been learning to summarise the beginning, middle and end of a story in reading.
We read First Flight and as a reading group created a Pic Collage to show what happened in the beginning, middle and end of the story.

Soldier-Moment in Time

WALT: Use adjectives (describing words) to make our writing interesting to the reader.
We pretended we were a soldier in the war, using our senses to describe what it was like.

I saw...Big machine guns shooting at soldiers and I saw blood flying
I heard...loud gas sound every where
I felt...blood dripping down me
I wondered...if New Zealand would win the war.

Phew...I'm tired

I am running as fast as a cheetah around the school field. I really wanted to stop but just kept on going. I run out of the door to get ready for training for Cross country. The Boys asked Cloe if  they could do push  ups, Cloe said yes . I did ten push ups. Room 9 is running around the Vardon school field fast. When I stepped on the wet grass it felt cold like ice.I was exhausted  because I did two laps with out stopping.  I got to the tree and flopped to the ground. Whaea Nikki asked if I was tired I said yes! I felt proud because I did two laps.

We have been  learning the principals of flight.They are Lift, thrust, gravity, and drag. Lift makes the plane go up. Thrust makes the plane go fast. I t makes it move. Gravity makes the plane go down and land. Drag makes the plane slow down. We also need control which means we can move the plane forward, left and right and up and down. Have you got any questions about flight?
