Kowhai class trip

Ronald McDonald Road Safety Visit

Triathlon day

"I won the race because I didn't slow down.  Mum and Nana and Clio watched me" said Reid.

"My Mum watched me. I was biking so fast like a star so fast. I was kicking with a flutter board. I like biking the best" said Alana.

"I run to my bike and Nanny got behind it and then I get on it and she pushed me. I swam all by myself. I was too tired when I was running but I didn't give up" said Zyila.

"Those are the big girls and Jakob is behind me" said Chanelle.

"I was beating Olly like a lightning bolt. The swimming was the best because I like to swim" said Jakob.

"It was funny. I wear a helmet on my head" said Korawit.

"I'm running fast like a rocket and pushing my pedals around and around and my bikes fast. I'm a stingray in the swimming pool" said Olly.

"We run to the swimming pool and I flutter board and I kicked" said Ava.

"The big girls pushed me on the bike and Mum and Dad watched me. I run around the field and I ran to the swimming pool.  Mrs C helped me in the pool" said Raven.

"I was kicking and running to the swimming pool. I was riding and I just got tired  and I keep going" said Isla.

Triathalon training

Every afternoon we practise for our triathlon race. 
We will do 3 things - bike, swim and run.

We can wear our house colours to race in and our families can come and cheer for us.

On Monday we are bringing our bikes to school to practise biking around the field. They can stay at school and will be locked up in the Rec centre each night.

The carpentry table

We love building on our new carpentry table and using the tools -  to hammer, saw and measure. "Builders work is very hard work" said Olly.

Here are the rules we wrote together to share with the other classes.

Kowhai class carpentry table rules:

1. Wear covered shoes to keep your feet safe from nails.

2. Wear safety glasses to stop the wood going in your eyes.

  

3. Four children can build at one time 

4. When the bell rings tidy up all the tools.
