Circus Skills

Three weeks ago everybody who wanted to participate started Circus Skills. My class has Circus skill lesson on Monday at 12.15pm until lunch time at 1.00pm. Our teacher is called Az but mostly every grade has a different teacher. Each week we have three different types of equipment to learn new skills. Sometimes at the end lessons if there is time or if it's planned, we do basic balances. I belive that my favourite and most enjoyable equipment would be the diablos. Some of my friends belive that too. The way to do the balance is quite difficult. You find a partner and one person on the ground makes a shape a bit like a bridge and the other does the same on top. After every week I look forward to the next three types of equipment.

Posting Letters

On the 25/5/11 3/4A started writing letters. We were writing them because our topic this term is Communication. We were sending them to our family members. The types of letters that we were sending were informal letters.

Informal letters start with your name. Example: Jack Chen. Then second, on the next line, you put your address. Example: 302 Unicorn St (Street). Still on the second line, you put your state, then your postcode. Example: Vic (Vitoria)3129. On the third line, you put your suburb. Example: Box Hill South. Two lines ahead, you put the date. Example: 27/10/1999. Well, that's just the start of it, but I don't want to fill up the pages with "How to write an informal letter" OK?

So, we have posted our letter on the 26/5/2011, and, I have to say, I was pretty proud of my letter!

Measuring with Trundle Wheels

Yesterday on the 26th of May, Our whole class went outside, to measure with the trundle wheels. We hadto measure the lines on the FFG. We had to form five groups. We all had either 3 or 4 people.

There were: Two square court perimetre, Blue circle, runnig track perimetre.... In the end we all compared our results. And those numbers were quite big....

Cottees Soccer Excursion

On May the 18th we went to a soccer game at a big school. My knee wasn't looking that well so my mum put a big bandage on it. On the Kerrimuir sections there were boy sections girl sections and mixed sections. The Kerrimuir teams were called the Pine Lime Pirates and the Orange Ogres. My team was the Orange Ogres. Even though my leg was hurt badly I still played pretty good. In total I scored 13 goals in all 7 games. Our team had won all our matches except against the Tropical Tornadoes; we had a draw with them. We also had a juggling competition and a penalty shoot out. In the juggling competition Torbin represented us. In the penalty shootout David C represented us. Torbin lost the juggling competition but David C won the penalty shoot out. It was a really great game and everybody got a prize.

Taiko Drumming Excursion

On Friday the 13th of May we went to a drumming excursion at Box Hill Art Centre. When we got to the Art centre we saw some pictures that were drawn in Japan. After seeing some of the pictures we went in to the hall. There was a short explanation about our school being one of the schools at Box Hill to learn Japanese. After the explanation we saw Koetsu's parents who are going to drum. We first had a lesson about Japanese drumming and what kind of drums there were. After the lesson Kerrimuir kids got to got to go up onto the stage to play the drums. Everyone got to play the drums. At the end when every kid from Kerrimuir had played the drums the parents, teachers and the council people played the drums. At the very end we got to see the pictures of the Japanese pictures again. Then we went back to Kerrimuir. Every one said it was fun.
