Beebots for Maths

As part of our Position and Orientation unit for Maths we tried programming these Beebots. It is a lot harder than you think. Those tricky left and right turns befuddled us at times. Lots of fun though!!

Clive Hits Through the Decades

On Thursday I did the stage performance. it was cool and fantastic! Suddenly we walked onto the stage. It was so quiet then we sang Mrs Murphy's Chowder and Nila WaferTop Hat Time. Then the audience clapped then we practised White Lines. I was so good I was pleased and my Mum and my sister and my Nana. When I drove to my school we walked on because I was later.

When I was making my delicate helmet it was really hard because my buddy Tom was doing something wild. I was working hard. Finally I got to the painting. The colour was dark green. I enjoyed painting my cool helmet. When Thursday night came there were heaps of excited parents. The six year olds were in the front. The eight year olds were in the back. I was a little bit nervous. We marched onto the stage. We had a kitbag and we swung them up at the first part. My Mum thought that it was great.

Relays for fitness

We are getting ready for our Cross Country race by getting in lots of running and action to get our hearts racing and lungs deep breathing.

Cross Country 2015

Here are our thoughts on the race yesterday. 

When I first started it was scary. I wanted to go home but then I passed Daisy then it was fun. But my hips started to hurt. Then I saw the finish line and it was green. Cerys came first, Millie came second, Lilly came third and I came tenth. I felt proud.
By Erika 

Yesterday we did Cross country and I came 14th. My Dad wanted me to come first. I think next time I might win if I practise then I will get better. When I was going down from the gate I thought if I win I will be really happy.
By Jayden

When it was Cross Country I came eleventh! I ran on the green muddy grass. I ran to the dark green gate and back again. I heard my Mum cheering for me. I ran alot faster at the end.
By Zac

I didn't win in the Cross Country. It is not fun at the Cross Country. I cried. We ran one race but Tamihana ran two laps. He is very fast. 
By Chance

On the day of the fun Cross Country I had to wait. Finally it was our turn. Bang! off we ran faster and faster down to the metal gray gate. At last there was the finish line Tye won, Max came second and I came third.
By Torin

Yesterday I had an humungous race. I had a nasty hayfever. I came second and it felt sore! It was fun. The dark fence was green and it was short.
By Max

On the huge day of the Cross Country I passed Chance and Lexi. I was in the 6 year old group. I controlled my body super fast. When we stopped I came 6th. The yellow sun was shining. We exercised before we ran.
By Audrey Anna

I can run faster and slowly as well but I can run fast with my friend Charliese. She is my good friend. She ran faster than me but the winner is Lilly. I am so proud of you, I like you running so good.
By Ashmeen

The Cross Country was fun because all the people was there. My leg was sore. It is a funny school and my Mum was funny too!! and Dad shouted Yay,Yay,Yay.
By Keira

Yesterday I ran Cross Country. I passed Leo. I came 6th. I loved the Cross Country. Next time I want to come first!
By Liam

I ran to win. But I ran fast to the finish but I saw somebody in front of me. I got a medal but Zalyus lost but me and Zalyus get a medal cos we shared.
By Tamihana 

On Wednesday it was the Cross Country day. When Mrs Cornelius said Go! I jogged the whole way. When I got to the end I came fourth and I loved it.
By Olivia

In Room 1 we practised for Cross Country. I went around the huge field down to the gate around the field again. I liked it practising so much. Shame I did not come because I might have fainted because I was home sick.
