Wow Reflection

This term the school's topic has been waste to wow. On Thursday the 28th of June the school put on a fashion show. Each class had to buddy up with another class and create costumes. Also each class had a theme.Our theme was nature.We got to get into groups to create our costumes. I was in a group with Katie, Sam, Latrell, Isabella, Harry and Harrison. Our inspiration was fantails.I got to be the model. Our costume had to be able to last until Thursday night. On Thursday night just as I was about to go on stage my skirt broke! Luckily we made a belt so we just tightened it up. After the show we had to take our costumes off. Then we got to eat some American lollies. If I had a chance to do the waste to wow show again I would change the costume by using more interesting materials.

Drought home learning

listen to ‘Courtney's drought activity’ on Audioboo

 This is my home learning drought activity. I did it on a website called Audioboo

Balloonns activity

I think the Balloons over Waikato is an important event to hold because it adds lots of colour to the sky and cheers everyone up. It also brings lots of people to Hamilton from around NZ and overseas.
One of the benefits to the city and its people is that by bringing more people to the city, they spend money on food, staying in motels which help the local businesses 

The Warriors

Two weeks ago the warriors came to visit our school. We got to play lots of fun games.At the end we got to get autographs from them. My favourite part was meeting the Warriors. My favourite game we played was bull rush. Everyone got a signature except me:(.Mrs D got a signature on her arm! After everyone had something signed it was time for the Warriors to go.

The last piece of chocolate

     The last piece of chocolate

I was starving! It was nearly dinner time but I needed something NOW! Suddenly out of the corner of my eye I spied the last piece of Caramel Marshmallow Delight (my favourite chocolate). I know I was meant to leave it for granny when she comes back from France but I just had to eat it. I cheekily thought of a plan. Maybe I could just take one bite. I took one bite then another then another. Poof! The chocolate was gone! Uh oh here comes mum... so  that’s the story of how I got stuck in bed at 5:00.

Dairy farm visit

In term 4 we have been learning about dairy farms.On wedensday (halloween)I went on a trip to a dairy farm with the rest of the middle syndacyte.

First we got into cars and drove to the farm. I went with Loren,Debbie and Fin.We talked all throughout the car ride! When we arrived we spread out our picnic blankets and we sat down.

Then we had morning tea. I ate some chocolate fingers with my group. Suddenly they were all gone! Loren had to ask for more food after we finished the whole packet because she started thinking me and megan were popcorn!

Next we went on a farm walk with room 11 and room 9 while room 8 and room 10 went into the milking shed.When it was our turn we got to see the cows getting milked.Room 7 had to try to not get cow pat all over miss workman.

After that we had a gumboot throwing compatition victoria, titus and ocean got into the finals.then we went to look at the effluint pond and to have a turn with the presure hose.

Next we had lunch and we watched the gumboot final.Finally we went back home with the perent we came with.I was lucky because my dad stopped for icecream.

Long jump

This is a video of me doing long jump.

My goal is to jump further. I can achieve this by also jumping high at the same time. I need to remember to lift my arms in the air when I jump.
