Year 4 Athletics

Every Wednesday the year 4s do athletics with people from Sport Wanganui. We do throwing, catching, skipping, jumping, hopping, dodging and sometimes we do a sack race. It is really fun because you learn and exercise at the same time! Next week we are doing an assessment over everything we have learnt.

Drama

Every week we get a poem that we have to do a dramatic interpretation on the poem. This is the poem that we had to do.
                                                                                 Storm
A storm is coming.
The hot wind carries,
a whisper of thunder.
The trees are anxious,
they call to one another.
"Wrap up tight!
Hold onto your leaves"
The wind is changing.
Fat chilly puffs squeeze
under the door.
"The cold is coming!" They shriek
through the cracks in the floor.
The chimney roars,
"Light the fire! Light the fire!"
Then the sky cracks open.

I am enjoying doing drama every week!!!

Holiday Readers!!!!

In the holidays some kids at our school read books in the holidays. The ones who read the most books or the hardest book got to go to mini putt and play at the park!!! First we did the mini putt. I was in a group with Nikita, Sam, George and Chloe. It was super fun and I came 2nd equal. After that we all walked over to the park and had lunch. We then went and played in the park. I went on the merry go round and I almost fell off!!! I had a superb time at mini putt and the park. It was awesome to get away from work at school!

Back to School

We've just come back to school from the holidays and I am flabbergasted!!! It is exhausting having to go back to school. Lots and lots of hard work is tiring me out. I am DESTROYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still enjoying doing lots of work. My desk is very messy and I am tired. We are doing lots of hard work. I can't wait until the holidays again.

Hockey!!!

Every Wednesday our hockey team, The Fordell Blues, plays hockey for 30 minutes. There are about 12 teams in the tournament so there is a fairly good chance that we will win. Yesterday we played for 3rd and 4th against Gonville. We really wanted to come 3rd!!

We all played very well and the final score was 4-3 to us!!!! "We came 3rd in the tournament" I shouted. My heart was pounding with excitement. We couldn't believe it!! Well done Fordell Blues!

How many teeth do snails have?

How many teeth do snails have? It is believed that an average snail has 25000 teeth. It may seem quite unlikely but it is actually 100% true. I read it in the book 'how to avoid a wombats bum.' You should read it to!!
