Cross country zones

Cross country zones

on the 26th of September people who made it into the top 5 in the School run the you go to zones. So today we went there the place it was running at was Monte Cecelia we had to run had and fast races so like if the year 4's run then they will call up the year 5 girls but last year because it wasn't raining so they scheduled it on the right time. The year 4 girls ran first they got set some rules like make sure you stay inside the cones, and the other one was make sure you are careful when you run down the hill, when they ran waikowhai was cheering for them when we couldn't see them, it was like an a surprise but the only thing we could see when they were coming was there shadow's but we didn't know if it was waikowhai or not, so we were a little bit excited when we saw the first runner she was from TKS and then the second runner was from another school but I didn't know the name of that school. When we saw our runners and her name was nerus and she was coming 12th and the other runners 13th and 14th it was only the first lap so they might came a different place. when they finished there race.Then the year 4 boys ran and all of them were fast so they might actually come ,1st, 2nd, and 3rd but no they didn't I thought that one of them was going to come first but he didn't win because he sprinted the start then he got tired and he came 12th but the fastest year 4 boy came 3rd and his dad was proud of him. when it came to the year 5 girls they got set the same set of rules as everybody else when they started running when they had done the same then the rest of everyone else went then we had a lot of fun, then we went back to school. blog you later

High jump

High jump

Hi bloggers, the past couple days we have been doing high jump. We have been doing high jump because we have Athletics coming up we would only have high jump at lunch times because the middle schools want to do it too, it has been quite a exciting week since they put out the high jump some games we play are knock out so if they knock it over  they are out but they only get four tries yesterday I jump 1.14m and I had one more go and I made, one of the teachers were proud of me because she asked me in class time, " how has high jump been and I said its been good and the reason why I like high jump is because it's challenging for me and I know and you can do scissor kick and back flop

On the 31st October we went to a school called Oratia district, when we got there we had to find our seats and wait for the other schools. When all of the schools came we sat down and they told us first to go on the website to go and book your tickets then we were waiting for Mr Lambert to come then we started to sing. The first song we sang was choo choo cha boggie when we finished they were telling us what we should work on and what we did well then we at least did three songs then we went out to play. When we came back inside we had to sit down for to hours and sing sit down sing and repeat, then when they said we were going to sing our last song was because we had to pack and leave so luckily we did it in time then we went back to school had a little play and packed up for the end of the day. 

Super market trip

Super market trip

Hi bloggers, on 23rd October we went to the super market  to learn how much energy and other stuff is in foods.  When we went there the lady who taught us all of this stuff was waiting there for us then she gave us a peace of paper  and it said, Energy, Fat total, Sugar, Fibre, and sodium, so on our list the first thing we had was Breakfast and cereals so we went to the breakfast lane. so what we had to do was we had to find a something that we would have everyday and something that we would have sometimes, for example if I had coco pops everyday then that wouldn't be really good for you, but if I had Weetbix or porridge then that would of been a good cereal for you the we did the same with the Bread we had to find stuff it had it, and with the muesli bars, snack food's, but when it came to the milk and dairy products the teachers said we had to pick the stuff that we mostly liked in that section and mostly everybody did Ice cream and it only had 25.8 g of sugar in it and I chose groovy gumdrops then we all did the last task was called a rainbow of colour, so what we had to do was we had to do was, to find all fruit and veges their colour and for the green I got 17 and for the red I got 10 and there were other colours too like orange, yellow, white, purple/blue, and brown
