During other cultures week we were learning about Ireland and St Patricks day. We made some leprechauns a d hats. We made jelly that was the colours of the Irish flag. We went in the hall  with our hats and Irish jelly. After that  we came in our classroom and ate our jellying took a photo with our teacher. We watched a leprechaun movie and some people helped my teacher to decorate our class.

This is us practising evading with the soccer coaches in the hall. We had to try and lose our partner and they had to follow you and stay as close as they can.

Life Jackets

At swimming we were learning about how to stay safe at sea and what to do if we fall in the water. We were practising what to do wearing a life jacket. Make sure you stay in a group so you can stay warm. What else can you do to keep safe in the water?

On Fridays we will be going to the swimming pools. We go to the Otara pools. It is fun, we learn how to swim there. Our coaches are Steve, Stan and Peter. Room 12 loves to swim. The little pool was a bit cold but the big pool was colder.

Swimming

On  Friday we went to the swimming pool in Otara. We brought our togs, towel and our plastic bag. We went and sat down on the seats and waited for the people to come and tell us to go inside   the pool. Our instructors names were Stan Peter and Steve. They were teaching us to swim and split us up in to groups. We were playing a game called What's the Time Mr Shark? The instructors were the shark and if they touch you that means you are the shark. 
Check back next week for some photos.

Constable Painter

One day Constable Painter came in to our class. She was telling us how to keep safe, she taught us a game  it is kind of like noughts and crosses. Constable Painter asked us questions about our rights and responsibilities which was a part of the game.

Rights are things that people say and do. The things you need like having the right to learn or have food and clothing.

Responsibilities are the things that are your decisions and the things that you say and do.Can you give us an example of a right or responsibility?

CROCODILE CAKE

In Room 12 we have a book called crocodile cake. The best part in the book is eating the crocodiles  tail. The scary part in the book was when the girl ran in the dark night and the crocodile was chasing her.
