Mufti Day

Last Friday we had a mufti day to raise money for the Philippines. I dressed up as an elf. I didn't see any other fairy tale characters there. The school made $350.

Visiting Author

Rebecca Metcalfe came in and read her new book called 'The Girl Who Loves to Sing'. It was about a
little girl who loves singing but a mean boy tells her that  her singing was bad and wants her to stop. So she stopped singing for a whole day. At night her mum came in and told her a story about a little girl when she was four years old and she always made people happy with her singing. That made her start singing again and not listen to bullies.

Cricket

Yesterday Mr Drummond's son Hamish came to school to teach us about cricket.It was fun. We learned how to bat and bowl. At the end we got to have a bag of fun things. We played a fun game where you had to bat the ball then run to something and someone would get the ball and throw it to Hamish.

The Day it Hailed

 

This afternoon room 5 were inside and it started to hail so we rushed outside. Ruru, Jacob and I huddled up in a group and jumped for joy!!. The hail felt weird because it was hard and when it touched you it splashed.

Life Education

Today room  5 went to see Harold. We went on a train (we even got tickets that were yellow and blue cool). Here are some things we learnt

• that the heart goes under left lung that is why it's bigger
• about the circulatory system
• that there are about 656 muscles in the human body
• that the heart leans to the left slightly

At the end we meet Harold and he blew us a big, big kiss.
