Special Olympics

 Special Olympics is for people (adults and children) with intellectual disabilities. 

On Monday at school, the seniors spent half the day outside playing Special Olympics games.

There were a total of nine games. There were two games that I really liked.

The first game I really liked, we had to stack tin cans. Three on the bottom, then two on top of the three cans and then one on top of the two cans.

The other game I really liked, we had to throw bean bags into a bucket. I got half the bean bags in the bucket.

It was a really fun day and I had so much fun!

Disruptions work

 This week we have been doing a activity about how many times the Olympics has been canceled. And we have also been doing what year it has been canceled in. One of the years that the Olympics has been canceled is in 2020. It has been canceled in 2020 because of covid 19. 

procedure work

 This term for writing we have been doing  procedural writing and we had to write some instructions of how to play a game. The game that I chose was Tag. Then the next thing we had to do is choose a game to write about and tell the reader how to play the game. Here are my instructions, see if you can follow them

swimming at Cameron pools

 This term we went swimming at Cameron Pools and we used the life jackets we went on to the boat and fell into the water. When we fell into the water we had to put our hand up in the air and say help. Then we had to go into a circle so that people can see us from far away and it will keep us warm. We wore the life jackets  so that we don't sink. It is relay important to learn how to swim so that you don't drown.

Year 5 Morning with Ms McGrath

 Today we did some things with Miss McGrath. The first thing we did was telling what we were grateful for.  Then we had to make a fortune  teller that told compliments to each other and then we had to colour it in and write some messages inside it. On my fortune teller I coloured it in and inside was some numbers and underneath the numbers was some messages.  One of my messages was...'Be Kind'

swimming at Cameron pools

 This term we have been going to Cameron Pools.

when I was there I liked being there because it was fun.

 I didn't like going under the water and jumping back on to the platform. I don't like having to take breaths and going back under. But I did like swimming back and forth to the two platform. I could do this on my front and on my back. We go to Cameron pools to learn how to swim because we are surrounded by water in NZ.

Can you swim?

ANZAC day

Today we had to do all of our work under the wires all day.

We had to do a basic facts test with all the gun fires. I did bad because of the noise.

Then we had to do some maths about ANZAC day.

We had fruit break under the wires and exercises.

Then we had to write a letter from the trenches to our family.

Then we did a pictodraw. Ms Sands read sentences and we drew a pictures.

Lastly we were blindfolded to unwind the strings.
