Top team games

Top team games

Yesterday the 5th after the duffy lady it was around play time and we had to have a early lunch because we had the top team games. At the top team games there was 14 games, skis, team building, hoops, nz map, water games, memory game, memory maze.

The ski games was super hard because charlie was not moving at all so we all mostly didn't move. Charlie was biting his fingernails while we were trying to move and we yelled charlie but he didn't listen and he moved when we weren't moving that was hard.

Hoops were really fun because I got 5 and the others got 3 or the other number, it was fun that was my favourite because i'm a good thrower but Aimee got a three, three times. Myha was sortof good she got one there and no more she missed most of her turns.

The water game was the first one my group, very cold and not warm some were warm, but most freezing. I got a face full of freezing cold water. I loved going there and having lots of fun but my group had to do the cold one first, at least we dried up doing to the other games.

On wednesday the 5th, Diana Queenin came to our school, she brought her treasures that she had discovered over the years- she has gone to. She had lots to show us, there was fossils, geodes, horseshoe crabs.

The stingrays are the horseshoe crab they have a barb sticking out of there back to pre teched them if a predators are coming behind or infront. Orcas take the barbs out and spit them out and chop their prey up. The orcas take the barb out because if they don’t they will stab them. The horseshoe crab had ten eyes and shaped weird.

Fossils are when something not here anymore, that they have,like they have been there for more the 100 years and has grown into the rock, they look cool but it needs time to go into the rock. It looks like they have drawn into it.

Geodes are a rock that has been cut into two halves that have crystals that people have coloured purple to look cool and more expensive to the normal one. They look really rare but they are not some can be.

The lady brought snake skin the snake takes it skin off by a rock it's kinda gross I thought. Our teacher Miss Smith tried to not pull a face because she does not like snakes but she had to hold the snake skin, I wouldn't like it either.

Safe cycling

On tuesday the 4th we had safe cycling, with constable Jos and constable Terry, they came to help/teach our classroom 2 how to bike safely on the road, we have 27 people in our classroom and 8 of us had to borrow constable Jos’s bikes and the other 19 brought their bikes. Constable Jos talked for quite awhile on how to use the helmet and how to do the ‘m’ check and all sorts of other stuff.

It was play time at 10:30 so we went for play, after play time we got on the bikes and started the ‘m’ check on our bikes, the ‘m’ check is when you have to check all the nuts and bolts on your bike, see if you’re tyre is pumped and ready to go, we all had gear bikes

where you can change the gears.

Second we got on our bikes and constable terry came ‘yay’ they set up some obstacles course that we done like zig zag, straight then stops, turning, after we had a challenge we had to go slowest but we were on our bikes, we were moving it was just who ever was the best 4 or 5 had another challenge to who could be the best and it was…….. William the people who were in the top 4 to 5 was Fynely, Patrick, William, Jessica and Me, there was a boy one and a girl one but the best ones got to vs each other girls and boys, while we did that constable jos and constable terry we setting up another obstacle course that had ramps,ladders and cones.

After the obstacle course's it was around lunch time and after lunch we went on the road, we we learning hand signals, road rules,road rules for intersections, look over your right shoulder, 1 meter from the gutter/curb, how to do the ‘m’ check and how to put your helmet on correctly- like put your thumb on you chin before you clip it up- make sure it's comfortable and fits you good-perfect and if it's uncomfortable get the right one that fits you. After the one round of the road one we had another turn because we were all next to each other and we didn't use them good. I was pretty good at biking because i was on a better bike than my real one the other people were
