RSS Triathlon


WALT: Use add detail to our writing.
SC: use describing words
We were watching a triathlon for the seniors but one of the seniors were sick so Ben did it to replace the senior. Ben was as fast as a hare. We were trying to keep up with him. He didn't do the swimming because he didn't bring his togs. When he was doing it we went straight to him. It was as loud as an elephant. I was proud of him.

On Tuesday I did the RSS triathlon. It was awesome. I had lots of support. It felt fantastic. My class mates pushed me to the limit and after that I went like a streak of lightning. I felt better than before. It felt totally awesome.

Yesterday a big black container arrived at school. We are all wondering what is inside it.

Statistics

Apples from the apple tree

Joy, a teacher at our school, brought some apple crumble to school. It was sweet to eat. The apples came from our school orchid. It took them five years to grow. It was called apple crumble but it didn't have any crumble.

Describing Words for Nitro Circus


Last night Ebony went to the Nitro Circus Live show in Wellington. So did some of our families. Ebony showed us some clips from the show and we all talked about some describing words for these questions.
How would you feel if you were...
...riding the bikes? (we said... excited, nervous, happy, scared, absolutely awesome)
...in the audience? (we said... scared, sad, not nice, happy, good)
...Jamie the volunteer from the audience that did a back flip? (we said... nervous, excited, freaked out)

We are the All Stars because our Room number 11 looks like rugby posts. It is also the Rugby World Cup this year. So instead of the All Blacks we are the All Stars because we try to be the best at lots of different things.
