Swimming

For 2 weeks we had swimming  .The most fantastic day  was the fun day. We played lots  of games
like this ball game, we needed  to kick the ball to try to make it go firther. The next game we needed it to croll across the mat i got over , when we got out of pool we grap our towel and our shoes and socks and went to the change room we got, dressed  then went on the bus IT WAS SO FUN!!!!

swimming

 On the first day I was so excited to go swimming. Then when we got to Aquarina first we had to get our clothes off and you had to put your plastic bag and towel on top of everything so you would'nt have to chuck all your stuff out then put in. Then we had to put your bag on the shelves and put your goggles on and go to your cones on the cones it had your swimming teachers name on it so you would no where to go. Then we walked in a line and went in the water.  First it was cold and then after it was fine and in some days you were allowed to go to the outside pool.  After a while we got to do sting ray where you go under the water and do breaststroke but sometimes you can lose your breath.  Then after we went to get our bathers off and  put them in our plastic bag but I always rushed because I wanted to be first so I could sit in the back seat in the middle.  When we were driving back to school I would sometimes sit next to Taya, Yaren or Karrina and when we got  back to school we did work.

Swimming!

Swimming lessons start this week and will be running for the next nine school days (Monday 29 August - Thursday 8 September).

Just a reminder about what to do every day:

• Wear your bathers underneath your school uniform.
• Bring any asthma puffers or medication and give them to the teacher.
• Bring a separate bag with your towel and (if required) goggles/swimming cap.
• When we arrive at swimming EMPTY your swimming bag.  Put your school uniform in the bottom of the bag and your towel ON TOP.  Put your socks into your shoes and put your shoes next to your bag.
• After our swimming lesson pick up your shoes and bag, get changed, and put your wet bathers and towel into your swimming bag.

You might like to practise this at home with your parents.  Following these steps will help us to be organised and ready for swimming lessons, and will reduce the amount of lost property and wet school uniforms!

Book Week dress up day

water watch

Yesterday I did water watch we caught bugs.  It was funny. the bugs were running fast the bugs are funny because the bugs don't want to get into my spoon and they run very fast.  They are hard to catch!

Hooptime

25 kids from 3/4 A, 3/4 B and the 4s From 4/5 A went to hooptime 2011. It was at knox basketball ground, Boronia. There was three teams, one was the kerrimuir Rabbits, they were rookies, there was kerrimuir Mavericks, they were Future stars,they also won the grand final, and the team I was in was Kerrimuir magic, they were Future magic too. It was just for fun so if you lost it doesnt really matter. We all got a McDonalds voucher, a certificate and a sticker. We all had a fantastic time.

     

Water Watch macrorinvertebrae

On Tuseday the 16 I did water watch ! It was really fun because we got to get the spoon and we found lots of animals and and I even found a FISH. I caught a really big fish that was trying to escape from the container .I have to say the fun part of that day was pobably picking up the fish and the boring part was when we had to identify the animals. We didn't just find fish we also found weird and weider things in that tray.The only really bad part was when the lady had to go and we had to pack up. But I can't wait till the next exciting to do!!

sea creatures

3/4B and 3/4A are making sea creatures. There was a selection of fish,shark,whale and dolphin. Most people chose sharks. We have started to papier mache. The white paper is harder to do, than the newspaper. The papier mache is really fun... But also tricky! When we were done with the papier mache, we will paint the sea creatures.

Waterwatch



All the 3\4's walked down to koonung creek.When we got there 3\4B got to play a game it was about birds and wet lands. Julie put down ropes ,the colours were Red, yellow, Blue and Green. Then there wascoloured cards, we had to try and get them, but we were only aloud 1. We were birds. It was kind of tricky because there was a lot of people and we had to grag them as quickly as we could. I had a good time I can't wait till the next one!:)
