Swimming in our Clothes

Hi, my name is Ben. Four days ago the Middle Syndicate went swimming in our clothes, but we had togs underneath. You try it with sandals on! It's almost impossible to kick. We had to fall in so it was like we fell out of a motor or normal boat. There was a huge splash! when people held their noses and jumped in. We tried to swim but a quarter of us totally could not, would not swim. When we got out we were dripping from head to toe. (literally) Ben

Man! Was I never nervous. Last Friday the whole Middle Syndicate (70 something kids) had to bring some old clothes to school because we were going to swim in our old clothes. We were pretending to fall out of a boat out at sea.
I walked into the changing shed. It was chocka-full. I managed to find a gap but it was quite squeezy. I got dressed as fast as possible and walked out not feeling confident. Room 5 were last to hop in. "Room 5 go to the side of the pool." So I did. I stood up to jump in. Splash, I jumped in. Boy, it was hard to swim. I kept on practicing to swimming. My clothes were all soggy and heavy. Yeah! free-time. Zak

Swimming at Wakefield Pool

Super. We went to Wakefield School Pool and the whole Middle syndicate did. We raced to get changed. When we where walking our feet went slip slop. Then we sat on the seats and the teacher told us what to do. I went to the long blue noodles first and it was really awesome. When we got on the flash colourful boogie boards, I tried to surf on them. It was mint. Next we got to the life-jackets and I jumped off the sides a couple of times. Then I got sooooo bored of it that I walked to the changing rooms and got dressed. It was a fun day. Reggie

Wow, this is out of this world because I was floating with a noodle and other things at the Wakefield School Pool. I put the noodle under my feet and it looked like a tank. The best part was, I put my legs on top of the noodle and I hung upside down like a monkey. I Like playing with a noodle because you can swim and float with it. Tynan

Myia my puppy came to school today. My puppy is very greedy. She jumps up on the table. She is a Hunterway Cross Beardy.

Shrek my bunny

Oh,no! Shrek poohed on Room 5's carpet. On Thursday the eleventh February I brought my bunny to school. His name is Shrek and I really want him to do tricks. I feed him rolled oats , cabbage , carrots and a lot of other food.
He is a very fluffy bunny and has a brown line on the middle of his back. Shrek has a cute little twitching nose.
I love it when he snuggles me on the chin. I will be bringing him another day.
Guess what he is in the class again now. Amelia

End of year and Picnic

We finished our wonderful year in Room 5 with a Syndicate Picnic at Twin Bridges. Here are a few photos of some of the things that we got up to.

Sports Day

"Wow! what a day this is going to be". It's Wednesday again so it's Sports day today. Oh, I'm with Harriet...again! Finally we're at Wakefield School. This is kind of boring sitting here surrounded by strangers. Now I'm off with Group Number 2. First we were at long jump and then we were at relay and so and so... My favourite activity was hurdles. Everyone beat me with the hurdles but I did the net the right way by pulling it over me. "Calista wins!"yelled Ms Read. I was proud... ...very proud. It's time to have lunch at Faulkners Bush. I sat with Luke. We trotted back to the school. "Yay," I called, it's swim time. We had a great time on Sports Day!!
