Athletics day !!!!!!! Liua, Filomena and Lana

On Wednesday, Good Shepherd traveled by bus to the Three Kings reserve for athletics day. At Athletics we did lots of fun activities.

First the year - 0/3 were doing the field activities like long jump, Frisbee throw and softball. Year-4/6 did relay races. First the 800 meter race.

After all the races year - 4/6 and 0/3

Swapped activities. So the year- 0/3 had to do the races and the year 4/6 did the fun activities while the year 0/3 had to do the races.

Once the year - 0/3 finished and 4/6 finished we went home. We had such a great day.

On Monday we had the day off because of labour day. We had Mrs Walker working with us on Thursday. We did more work on our Kia Kaha unit. We made group brainstorm posters about how we feel at different times.

Earlier in the week we had P.E. It was high jump and discus. It was so fun.

We have also got straight back into Mandarin. We have been learning about the names for different body parts

Hope you enjoy our blog.

Loud shirt day was on Friday. Everyone either wore a
superhero costume or a bright top. Everyone brought in a
gold coin donation for the hearing house to help kids who
don’t hear as well as the rest of us.

On Thursday we went to the old tennis courts that are now
used for parking. We went round the back and we were
AMAZED at the sight. There were metal poles, screw, parts
of a clock, a plate and believe it or not a frying pan in the
wall! It was really weird. When we got back we made a story
about how we think it got there. We could make it up and we
could also use real things.
