camp kayaking

Kayaking at camp was great fun! It was very cold and it was like a blizzard under water. We floated down the rapids in the little kayaks. Everyone kept getting stuck and falling out. Mrs  Scott was pushed in and then Sally jumped in.          Hunter & Lilly.

These are some people on
the kayaks. The people are stuck.

On Tuesday the 4th of March 2014 we went to Wakefield Pool to participate and compete in our class swimming sports. It was great to have a go at swimming 25m in deep water and some of us raced so a team could be selected to compete in the Waimea Cluster Sports. We ended the session with some fun events judged by the parents. Cameron won the biggest splash competition, Lilly Z the the no splash dive, and Abe for the most creative way of entering the pool. - He was a walking along and got shot and fell in!
After camp week on the 19 March a team of 12  swimmers competed in the Cluster sports. They did really well especially as they were competing against a lot of swimming club swimmers.
Eli - 4th in the 50 m Freestyle, Rani - 3rd in breaststroke, Lilly Z - 1st in backstroke, Hamish -1st in Freestyle and Histen - 3rd in Freestyle and 1st in Breaststroke.

This is an odd moment at Old Macdonald's Farm where Felix and Ezra have made a double decker kayak - weird ay.

Reading Theme

In reading we are all reading  books about Wild Animals. To introduce us to the topic and to improve our co-operation skills we created weird and wild creatures bu adding 
 parts of animals together to make a new one. These are what we came up with!

Hunter's Birthday Present

Hunter and Rio the cockatiel

                                          



Hunter got a cocktiel for his birthday and brought it to school for the day. Most of the time it was quiet. we all enjoyed it sitting on our shoulders and we were surprised how light it was. We think it will make a great pet.
