cross country

On Thursday the whole school did cross country at Tinui. Most of us got into the town cross country because we came in the first 5. The 5 and 6 years olds had to run around the field once and the 7,8,9 and 10 years olds had to run 2 and a half kms, and the 11,12 and 13 years olds had to run 4 kms. I got into the town cross country and I came 5th out of 8 people. After we finish running we just felt like dropping to the ground because it was so tiring.

Take Action For Water

Our new topic for this term is 'Take Action For Water'. We have learnt so much about the different insects that live in our rivers and streams, the natural habitats, life cycles and the role of plants and algae in the catchment and more. Then we had to do a work sheet on how do the insects breathe in the water and out of the water,then we had to choose an animal out of the Mayfly, Long fin eel, banded koapou and the cased caddisfly. I chose the Mayfly we have to write an information report about the aquatic animal that we have chosen. On Monday the senior room is going to Mt Holdsworth and we are going to look at the streams and insects. we are going with Warren who is from the Greater Welington Regional council to Mt Howsworth because he is going to tell us all the imformation about the streams and insects.
