Cross Country

Hi bloggers, on Monday we had  Cross Country with the whole school. The year six's  had a job to do like helping on the course, getting the children Warmed up, Board games and also using the Raku sticks. There were also a bake stall and a cupcake stall at the bake stall we could also get ice blocks. The cupcake stall was fundraising money for the SPCA, the SPCA stand for, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. We raised 700$ to go towards helping the animals. I did the warming up station which was station 2.  We had to do 20 star jumps, 20 squats and 20 Burbies. The year six's had to go first and the whole school watched us. I came 6th in cross country better than last year when I got 10th, Something that was helping me was running club.  Here are some photos of the day

Production

Our school production this year was Pasifica Peter Pan (a twist on an old classic). We started rehearsing early last term and presented to an audience last week, with three performances (two in the evening and one Friday matinee show).  Our song at the end was one of our Jump Jam songs.  The senior syndicate had major and minor roles, both on stage and behind the scenes. The rest of the school performed cultural dances from around the Pacific. Shows were sold out and audiences were treated to a spectacular performance. An amazing end result from all our hard work! Well done!

Our challenge was to make a switch to turn our LED light bulb  and turn it off again. The thing that I found difficult was trying to get the circuit stable and show perseverance. The next place I went to was making Geo boards. The materials we used were nails, wood and elastic strings.  The Geo board challenge was using measurement to create, using tools to put things together and also taking turns and sharing. The thing I found difficult were nailing the nails in because I ...
