Tread Lightly Caravan  HI bloggers, today we got to do a tread lightly caravan. It was fun because we got to learn more about water. we had three stations one was inside and the others was outside, the one that was inside you could learn about water land. The other outside was called a grain game, and the other one outside is that we had to look at all of our drains in the school. First, A water land is like a swamp but it's not, a water land is where any type a animal can go. We had to name all the animal that went there. Then we got to color a picture of a pukeko, and when we finished we could go on this app that could make it 3D. The other activity inside was we went on VR's for the first time and when we were on there was this person, was talking to us when we where in it we could look everywhere. Here are some photos.

Soccer Zones  HI bloggers this week 20 kids from our school went to soccer zones we had two teams. The teams went to Eden Park but the thing that all of us was sad about was that we didn't  get to play in the real stadium. So we had to play on the place where they warmed up. So the boys  team and girls team had seven games. The boys teams came first in the pool and then the girls almost won but the team they vs got no goals and the girls team got no goals to, so it was a draw. But we still got into the stadium and took a photo, our first game we won five zero. We got to see the Women's World Cup. Here are some photos.

Swimming at Cameron Pools T his week Te Waka Ako and the middle school has been going down Cameron Pools to learn how to swim. We always go down on Tuesdays, Thursdays and we have lunchtime swimming on Wednesday and Friday. When we go down to the Cameron Pools there are different pools, there's one for little kids and the ones for the bigger kids and adults. When we went got down there we learned how to get in the pool and how to get out of the pool without using the ladder. We also learnt how to float and we learned how to freestyle. Last year the teachers had a race for the house groups. The house groups are Kea, Tui, Pukeko and Ruru. The teachers won last year, they were super quick. I wonder who will win this year? W e learned that when you are at the beach and you're in the middle of nowhere, you keep swimming and if you get tired you can float on your front and back.
