Defend the cone

 We learnt a new game over the last couple of weeks in PE. It is called "Defend the cone" Mr A gave us the aim of the game and some rules to start with. We had to play the game and improve it. We came up with rules for gameplay and tactics to make it more fun and fairer. Well done Room 13 , some great sportspeople who know how to play fair!

Olympics Inquiry

We wrapped our Olympics inquiry up last week with a  "Told us, made us wonder review" We shared our information with each other and had to have a good look at each others research. We recorded one new fact  that we had learned and a question this made us ask. We then had some time to try and answer the best questions and improve our slideshow. Have a look at our slideshow below.

Cross Country practice

We have been practicing hard for the Waitaki Schools cross country races at Omarama soon. We have been building our stamina running around the field and the juniors went down to the river walkway to practice running on rougher ground with some hills too.

What time is it?

We have been learning to tell the time. Everyone should be able to tell, o'clock, half past, quarter to and past. Some people can tell the time to 5 minute intervals and others can even use digital time too.
So next time you need to know the time then ask us!!

We have looked at how early people used the sun to tell the time, we drew our shadows during the day. We found out that our shadow gets shorter and then longer again. We think this is because the sun appears to move in the sky. This is because the Earth is spinning. Do you know how long it takes to go around once? Ask us!

Our cross country champs

Well done to Kasey and Blossom in their excellent effort at the North Otago cross country races yesterday. Both girls did us proud and represented the school very well.
