First post for 2019

Friday 8th of May

Hello,

This week has been a very "Sporty" week. And also this is my first post for 2019. On wednesday we had Cross Country, and on Thursday we had the catholic sports tournament. So Cross Country wasn't the best for me, because normally I get third, second or first. And I got 3rd... to last. For cross country I sat with James while I was waiting for my race, It was pretty nerve racking while I was waiting for my race.

The catholic sports tournament was fun. We had 7 games and they were ten minute games. We tied one and lost all of our other games. We only got one goal the whole tournament, which was by me.

end of term reflection

Hi everyone,

The highlight for this them has been cycle safety and korfball. I liked cycle safety because we get to ride around on your bikes and do games.  Luckily I know all the road rules like top of the T goes before me and that stuff, and I know the indicators and stop signal.

This term I liked korfball because basketballs my favourite sport, and korfballers like basketball.

I had a good term.

Next term I would like to do more science, particularly some experiments.

Here's photos,

Holy week

This week we have been learning about holy week. Jesus died on easter and rose again on easter.

Caritas refugee day

HI everyone,

Yesterday we did refugee day. We had to build a shelter. In my group I had Harry, James, Sean and Liam H.  The highlight for me was building our shelter because it teaches us survival. An interesting part was having to keep the structure up. Bye bye now.

Don the eel scientist

Don the eel man

Hello everyone,

Today a eel scientist named Don, he works at the National institute of water and atmosphere. He knows most about eels in New Zealand. He taught us lots of facts.

• They eat baby birds and little ducklings. 
• At night eels can absorb oxygen from their skin.
• Scientists take out mainly baby eels ear bone to see their age and they know by how much rings are on their ear bone.
• Eels have very good smelling (etc, if you put blood in a deep river an eel at the very bottom or very far away can smell it).
• Female eels need to be big to hold lots of eggs.
• Long fin eels hide a lot in the day and come out at night.
• Many many years ago eels lived in sea.

         

Green hat day!

Friday 15 march

Happy St Patrick's week everyone!
 This week hasn't been much of a busy week for me. And on Wednesday I was off school. This week for RE we have been learning about South Sudan, I learnt that people in South Sudan are very poor and their government is very poor. And they cant afford to look after their waterways because they don't have enough money so people in south sudan has to walk miles for water.

For maths we have been doing number talks, for number Mrs O'Neill puts a maths equation on the board. If we have an answer we do a thumbs up, If we have two answers we do 2 fingers like pointing but with your thumb up too. If you have solved it differently you just put your hand up with all your fingers up. If you did the same working out as someone else you put your pinkie and your thumb up, and if you have something to say you just put your pinkie up.

And for reading we are learning about pollution, and doing activities.

Here's a photo of us in our green hats,
