Maui and the Sun

I like reading Maui and the sun because it tells us about Maui using the magic jawbone to smash the sun. Maui took his brothers with him so that they can slow the day down because the days were too long.

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.

Safety Around Beaches

At the beach do not go too far away from an adult. Be careful of smooth water between waves because something BAD might happen to you. You might get pulled in to a rip. If you get in a rip, don't try to swim back because you will be tired and be going nowhere. So instead follow the waves and try get to the side. Always swim between the flags.

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?

Dontay's Farewell

Last week on Friday it was Dontay's last day at day at Dawson Primary. At the end of the day Dontay's lovely mum brought cupcakes and chocolate for the whole class. We were really sad when he left. We wish him good luck at his new school. Hopefully he will visit our blog.

Soccer

Kryzlah

On Monday we played soccer in the hall. It was AMAZING. We had coaches. Their names were Coach Mika and Coach C. First the people with the bibs had to run around and be the truck. The other person, the trailer had to keep up with them. The next go they made it harder by putting a soccer ball in the game. Then they made it  EXTREMELY hard because the trailers were allowed to steal the ball. After that we were passing the ball. That was TERRIFIC. I cant wait to do soccer again.

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.
