What is a triathlon.

A triathlon is 3 events of swimming, cycling and running. These three events can make you strong and healthy. The triathlon rules are when you get your bike you do not ride your bike in the area where they park it, because if you do drive your bike in the parking area you will cause accidents.
triathlon rule is do not push anyone off their bike and do not rush just ride your bike.And when you run you do not cheat.

Embracing Others.

Life Education Van.

Today  Room three went to the Life Education Van. It was also our last day in the Life Education Van. We learnt  about healthy food and junk food and also we learnt about our bodies. When we finished our time with Harold the lady gave us a plastic bag with stickers and activities in it.

When we were learning about our bodies we were
talking about the digestive system and the lights on the body went on. When we talked about food we talked about treats and meat and other kinds of foods.

My favourite thing from my trip

This is my favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village in Week 5.

Howick Historical Village

My favourite thing from our trip to Howick Historical Village was when room three went to make trolleys.

First of all we went to look at the instructions so we would know how we make the trolley. Mrs White told us to look at the photo so we would know how the trolley is going to look when it was finished.

The tools that we used were washers, nuts wood, bolts, metal sticks, wheels and pins. The trolley was hard to do because my friends were telling me “go there, go there” but when I got to look at the instructions I remembered what I was supposed to do. I went back and did my work, I knew what to do when I went back to my group and started.

I started off with doing the wood in the right place and then putting the bolts on it. We had to put a nut under the bolt and when we finished doing that we had to do the wheels.

My favorite thing about doing the wheels was when we had to put the wheels into the pole and after that we put the pin though the hole of the pole so that the wheel would not fall out.

After that we finished our trolley and we had to take it apart again because the next group was ready to have their go. It was all so much fun.

Term 2 Topic

This term we are going to be looking at Schools in the past, now and tomorrow.  We will be researching what schools were like in the past and imagining what they will be like in the future.

Desribing Rubbish

compost - compost is rotten food and makes people very, very sick and it is smelly.

Recyclable - Recyclables are plastic glass cans and paper. It is squashed and made into other stuff.

Trash-trash smells bad and is ugly. Trash can make people sick.

Choosing time
