HOCKEY SKILLS SESSION

Last week room 4 went to hockey with Craig. First Craig told us tips and rules about hockey. Then he taught us how to dribble a hockey ball.

After that we played this game and if your ball went out of the cones you were out. I got out straight away but lots of people stayed in.

When the game was over we teamed up, girls in one team and boys in another. The girls wanted to be called cats so the girls were called cats and the boys the rats. There were more boys than girls so Alfie had to join the girl's team. 

After Craig explained that if he called out 'cats', the cats had to dribble their hockey ball to the other side of the courts without being tagged by the rats. If he called out 'rats', the rats had to dribble their hockey ball to the other side of the courts without being tagged by the cats. If you got tagged nothing happened.

Thanks Craig.

HOW I SAVED THE WORLD

(Recounts)

Agent Rock Star

My name is agent Rock Star I have some awesome gadgets like a laser gun that shoots a green laser that can destroy anything in its path.

When I was at home I heard my spy phone ring it was my mum and dad they were saying that there is an enormous robot that farts sleeping gas! Just as they nearly finished their sentences the phone hung up, the robot had farted on them.

The mission was on I got out my laser gun and my light saber then I put them in a belt. I walked out of my house with my stuff then I saw the robot it was so big I got out my laser gun I loaded it then I shot but it was no use so I had to use my light saber.

I opened the blade then I walked up to the robot, the robot farted then I chopped off its leg the robot yelled and fell.

I was so proud but I still had one more robot to battle its brother it was so big so I chopped off its legs again and it died.

Secret Agent Star

In Paris I (secret agent Star) was walking down the street when I saw evil Mr McMillan paralysing everyone.

I ran behind a building and I was really scared. I put on my belt and felt brave and scared. I heard Mr McMillan talking about his secret evil plan it was mostly about destroying the world.

I jumped behind him and we were face to face. I got out my laser
(laser 5000) but he got his gun out so we fired and he got me and I dropped my lazer.

He came towards me but I got my laser and shot evil Mr McMillan and killed him. The people were saved.

Robot Monkeys

lt was saturday and I was at the zoo looking at the monkeys.

One looked very very very fat but I thought it just ate too much. But the next day it had escaped.

I found out that it was a robot I finally killed it but lots more robot monkeys came and started attacking.

Then I got out my laser and shot them I felt proud that I saved the world.

ROAD SAFETY

Last Monday we got to see Ronald McDonald at our school. He had a giant book to share with us. First he looked at it and tried to figured out what it was. We thought 'what is that?' he then opened it up and we saw it was a book.

It was a book about road safety. The three things that we learnt were to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN before you cross the road. 

In the book Ronald lost his red and white stripe sock. We went on an adventure with him to try and find his sock.

Yesterday me, Eli and Apolosi went to Denise's house to make gingerbread people for the gala.

We used licorice, M & M's and coloured icing. With the left overs we made the first letter of our names to taste if it was good. 

We had lots of fun. Thanks Denise.

Room 4 Art

Last week room 4 created a picture of room 4. First we sketched a picture of room 4 using a photo and we only drew the straight lines that we could see.

Then we went over the straight lines using a black crayon. After that we painted the main shapes in our pictures choosing any colours that we liked.

Aquatic Day 

On Tuesday the year 3's went to the aquatic centre to learn about water safety.

The first activity we did was floating with Amanda. The second activity we did was wear a t-shirt in the water. It was fun but hard.

After that we jumped into the deep end wearing red life jackets.

Next we did rope saving with 2 people to help.

After that we went onto a boat with life jackets on, it was fun but very wet!

At the end we all got free time for about 20 minutes.
