Our Special People Day

Last Thursday, Room 9 and the Pohutukawa Team shared their learning with some very special people.  We invited grandparents and other special people in our lives to visit our classroom.  We shared the descriptions we had written about them and they shared stories with us and answered our questions.  It was a great afternoon.

Taleia's First Competition

My First
Gymnastics
Competition


On Sunday I did my first gymnastics competition. It was held at Tri-star gymnastics club. I went with my Mum and Dad, I was very excited!

When we arrived, we sat and waited for our coach. Then we did our warm up for 20 minutes. It was really hot in there, I was sweating.

After warm up we went to our first apparatus, which was vault. I scored the highest mark in my team for vault. There were three other apparatus’ we had to do after vault. They were beam bar and floor. My hardest apparatus is bar! I enjoy floor the most.

After we finished, we did the prize giving. I came second in Vault and Beam. I was so proud of myself. There were girls from all over Auckland. I was the youngest in my team! I had such a good time.

Climbing Camp Sladdin

On the 20 May, Sarah, Darren, Maritha, Nikita, Lennox and Carlos climbed Camp Sladdin after school. We went up and down the left side because the other side was too muddy. We saw 7 other people and 1 dog. While we were doing the walk we got very muddy and slipped a lot. There were lots of trees, fantails and other birds. Finally we got to the top, wow it was an amazing view. At the top was a look-out. We stayed at the look-out for 10/15 minutes then went back down. We took about 45/50 minutes in total. We got very tired but it was lots of fun.
