The last week of term 1

This week we have been doing activities for our skill building 

The year sixes and the year fives were split up 

I loved all the activities we did my favourite activity was the hoop challenge the challenge was the hold hands in a circle and try to get the hoop around every person without letting go of our hand. We split into girls and boy the girls won and we also did all together.

These are some pictures that have been taken this week

I had a lot of fun this term I hope it will be the same next term

Art

In art we have been doing percussion with Sam 

Sam told us that percussion means staying in time with a beat

I learnt that percussion is about the beats and sound

This is what I think percussion means

 My next step is to play different types of instruments 

 I hope someday I will get to play lots of drums

Beach poetry #2

I went to the beach 

I thought i could reach 

A bottle of lotion

So I could jump in the ocean

Out of the ocean I saw a rubberband 

It was hidden nicely in the sand 

It was very quiet after that

So I thought I could take a quick nap

Beach poetry

One day I layed in sand with shells

And then I heard some ringing bells

I saw some awesome waves 

Near a rocky shore by a cave

In the cave was a band 

That was playing near the sand

I picked up another shell 

I did not hear any ringing bell
