Rugby Skills with Andrew Goodman

On Friday, Andrew Goodman came to school to teach us some rugby skills. He is a Tasman Mako. He tought us the grubber. The grubber is a little kick across the ground. Jay, Levi, and I got in a big triangle and did some grubbers. Then he tought us a punt. The punt is a huge kick in the air. We got in a big triangle again and did some punts. I kicked to Jay and it got in the soccer goal instead of the tryline. Hahaha. Then we played rippa rugby. I was the team captain for the Highlanders, my favourite team. Levi was the team captain for the Crusaders and Carlee was the team captain for the Chiefs. First, it was the Highlanders vs. the Crusaders. The Crusaders won. So it was the Crusaders vs. the Chiefs. But the Chiefs won. So now it was the Highlanders vs the Chiefs. It was really tough but we won.

Time for the second round. The Crusaders were hard to handle but it paid off because we won again. We were doing well. The Crusaders did well again and they won - the Chiefs took a beating from the Crusaders. But it was a pay back because we smashed the Crusaders. So then it was the FINAL game. Highlanders vs. the Chiefs. It was rough but it was a nice win. Lets look at the score board. The Highlanders came first, the Crusaders came second and the Chiefs came last.

Book Week at Nayland Primary

This week there is a book fair at our school and the topic is on animals. A book fair is when there is a whole lot of books for Mum's and Dad's to look at. Mums and Dad's look at them to buy them for their children. On Friday there is a disco at Broadgreen Hall.We can dress up as our favourite book character like Peter Pan, Old McDonald or Lightning Mcqueen. A disco is when you DANCE awesomely and you get the groove in you. This is a tip: dance awesome. At the disco, we will wear the costume we wear to school on Friday. Also, we have an animal photo competition. You have to take the photo by yourself so if you are in the photo you can not enter it in. That is sad but hopefully lots of people enter some great photos!!!!.

Food Chains

We have been learning a lot about insects. We looked at food chains and learned about how food chains work. Then we played a really fun game for practising food chains. Try it out yourself! The website is below - you can go to this website and then there is a link to the game on the left.

Jorja's Kittens Come to School

This week Jorja's kittens came to school. The kittens were so cute that I couldn't take my eyes off them. They were really really small because they were only new babies. There were 8 kittens and lots of different colour kittens. Some of the colours were ginger, some were dark, and there was one white one. All of the kittens were clawing onto the people that were holding them. All of the people in our class really really liked them because they were tiny, so they all wanted to keep them in the class. But, we couldn't because they were so small and they had to go home to their mum. I felt extremely excited about having kittens at school - I hope we see them again!

Drama at School

Last week we did drama in class. It was fun, we did heaps of activities. We learnt about gesture, voice, movement, and facial expression and space. We praticed them and it was fun. We pretended to be different characters, like docter, nurse, old lady, cowboy and patients. I like drama, it was a really cool time! Have a look at the photos.

Room 6 Futsal

By Jasper and Luca

Every Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime we play Futsal.  Futsal is like soccer but there are only kick ins and no throw ins. We play for 12 minutes each game. We think its fun because it is like a new sport.
Room 6 started with two teams, one was the Soldiers and the other was the Swans. The Soldiers lost to Room 7 so they are out of the tournament but the Swans are still in. Once when we were playing the Swans won by one point. Our class likes to watch the games.

There are some photos of the games here.

We scored three goals in this game.

Our library visit

Last week Room 6 went to the Stoke Library.  We walked in partners there. Some people brought their own library card and took out some books, and some didn't.  The librarian read us a book called "A Grandma like that".  It was about a girl who had a witch grandma. The whole class laughed at the story. The librarian told us the rules as well. It was really really fun going to the library. Then we went back to school.
