Grey District Swimming

On Wednesday the 6 Ella F, Nina , Libby and I went to the swimming pool for the grey district swimming sports to swim for our school. It was so fun and difficult at the same time. The 9 year boys went first and then the 9 year old girls went to go. I came 1^st 5 times and 2^nd 3 times and 3^rd only 2. There was only 1 mistake that I do not want to tell you because it makes me feel not good at all...

Athletics Day

Athletics day was on Monday 3^rd  March. It was awesome! I came 1^st in the running but came 2^nd in the sprints. Before that we did shot put and Libby came 1^st in that. 

Just before lunch we competed in the relays - Catherine, Tahlia, Darian and Riley were running for R11. 

I thought Athletics day was awesome and my Dad was so proud of me.

What was your favourite activity?

Swimming sports!

Swimming sports was on Friday a couple of weeks ago. 

It’s an activity that the whole school does for fun. You can choose if you want to be in the Length pool or the Leisure pool and we swim in races.

You can get 1^st 2^nd or 3^rd in either of them. I learnt that it doesn’t matter if you don’t get anywhere as long as you have fun.

Can you remember the lessons we learnt in our Hiwi the Kiwi show??

Harold the Giraffe

This week we went to Harold twice - Wednesday and Thursday. 

We were talking about friendship and how to make friends. 

Harold gave us presents (books and stickers) but when Abby went up to get the stickers, he wouldn't let go!

I learnt that to make a friend you have to go to them and ask if you want to be friends.
