CYCLE SAFETY by Felix and Sebastian

On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Mr Tonkin came to the middle syndicate classes.  He made us check our friends' bikes. We needed to check our chains,  if it can be straddled and we also had to check the handlebars. We also had lots of slow races to check our stability.  We also learnt how to adjust our helmets and  we had to check our brakes. Finally we had to do about four obstacle courses  which showed our control.

HOBBIES by DAYNA, INDIA, WILL T and CALVER

Hobbies has been really fun for Rooms five and six.  You could do flax weaving, painting, chess games, strategy board games or mosaic bottles.  Dayna did  flax weaving and India did strategy board games.
We really liked hobbies.  It was superb.  It was good to do something different.  We all enjoyed doing stuff we have not done or what we made/played and everything we did turned out ok.  We can't wait until next year's hobbies.  Dayna would like to do painting.  India too.  by Dayna  and India.

Authors
Poppy and Niamh

I made tic tock fish. I used a clock

I made a dragon which  came 3rd

We made sculptures in term 2 for our oral language. We had two and a half weeks to make our sculptures. Some people got their parents to help them make the sculptures. The Friday people were lucky because they got more time. The sculptures looked fantastic, because everyone had put so much effort into them.   Miss Mora didn't put any effort in them because she didn't need to !!  There were prizes.   Layla came 1st, Elliott came 2nd and Niamh came 3rd.

CLAY FACE MAKING

We made clay faces out of brown  and white clay.  We made people faces, animal faces and monster faces.  Hana made a cat and  Gen made a person's face.  Most people made an animal.  Boys did monsters and not many people did people.  Most people chose the white clay but some people wanted the brown.  The clay dried on our hands but we had to live with it till we were finished.  Our clay faces turned out fabulous but some people's ears came off and whiskers off the cats.

BRIDGE VALLEY CAMP

We had go-carts to ride.

There was slug gun shooting. There were rabbits  and bottles to shoot.

 The best part about camp was being in the lake because it was really fun going down the hydro-slide and bouncing on the aqua-tramp. The hydro-slide was really fun because you went on mats which made it faster.

BRIDGE VALLEY CAMP

We had racing trikes to ride in the activities .
I had to use a pillow because I was not big enough.

 In the option I chose kayaking and I got wet .
Other people did the kayaking as well as me
