composting

On  Saturday night some people went to the compost making workshop, and got told how to make a compost heap. Then on Tuesday night they got told how to flip a compost heap into a wooden box and then put a whole lot of bags on the compost to keep it warm.




 

The whole school did tennis with Ollie. Some of the things we had to do were really hard.And we had to throw the ball and catch the round fuzzy ball. The tennis racquets came in all kinds of  colours. Some kids were really good at it and some were not. We had to bounce the ball up and down with the rackets.

First Add

 Yesterday we did first aid, with a very nice lady called Jan. She taught us what to do, when  other people get hurt or  have a heart attack. We put these words on the board D.R.S.A.B.C   D stands for dangers, R stands for response, S send for help, A stands for airways, b stands for breathing and C   for circulation. We practised putting an injured person into a comfortable position. We also took turns putting bandages and slings on.

It was an awesome day. We learned lots.

Yeng Lin.

We were so excited about the chinese teacher coming to teach us mandarin. The teacher was very nice. She was called Yeng Lin. She taught us a lot about the pronounciation. The first lesson she taught us how to say Hello which is ni hao and also goodbye which was Zai Jian. She also taught us to say dumplings, noodles and peaches. She taught us that birthdays always had peaches because
they meant longevity.

Today it was walk "n wheels. and we got to have breakfeast at school like we normally do. Then some people came and made some awesome ramps on the court.  We tried very hard not to knock the cones over while we were weaving thorugh..  Hopefully we get to go down to the bottom and ride our wheels....       

The whole school went to the museum. We met Kim. She showed us where a room was, it was not even open to the public! We all thought it was awesome! At last it was lunch. We even got to sit outside at least ten meters over the ground! Kim had made a science hunt. We had to find mirrors,
magnets,even things with friction! But before that, Kim showed us a slingshot. She showed us science
investigations. My favorite one was what made the bag pop. After some time we gave Kim a huge
clap. Then we hopped on the bus and zoomed off. After some time we were at school and read a good

book.  


  

We made plant pots out of newspaper. We needed instructions to make them. It was a bit tricky but
we got there in the end. First Mrs Laban put soil in the pots, then Mrs Odgers gave us seeds to put in  the pots.
 Mrs Laban topped  it up with a bit of soil for the top. We put them in grey trays. There is
silver beet, broccoli and  cabbage. They have started growing.

First we got in the pool. It was a bit cold but we were all right. There were heaps of splashes and there were heaps off people in the pool to. It was great fun in the pool. After that we had a bbq there were heaps of yummy food like sausages, chocolate and strawberry drinks.It was really fun.  After that  we played at school for a while. It was such fun.  We were surrounded by heaps of people. It was so amazing.
