House Athletics

On Wednesday on 13th of September we had House Athletics. The house teams are Bradman, Freeman, Perkins and Riley. I did hurdles and races. I won the hurdles grand final and evearyone from Bradman picked me up because we were in the lead because of me. I came second in circular relay then Freeman was in the lead. Now everyone thinks that Freeman won and Bradman came 2nd, Perkins 3rd and Riley 4th. Oh, I forgot most Grade 4s are going to district because they cam 1st 2nd or 3rd in an event.

Still Frame Animation

In 3/4A we have been doing still frame animation. We have to make movies with our paper mache sea creatures. We have to take about 200 photos. Then we have to edit the movie with our group. My group haa not edited our movie yet. 3/4A have seen three still frame animation movies. Still frame animation is fun with sea creatures. Our back drop looks really nice and colouful. The people in my group are Emily, Jennifer, Grace O, Daphne and Me. After we finished our movie Miss Jeffery took a group photo with our whole group. Daphne was the person who was taking the photos and everyone else was helping to move the sea cretures. Every time Daphne took a photo we would have to move the animals a little bit. Still Frame Animation is Fun!

Swimming

On the first day of swimming lessons we got into groups. My teacher at swimming is Jackie. We swim in the fourth lane. In my group we have six girls including the teacher. We have three boys in our group. So far I like doing the Dolphin kick, diving and lots more. Some of the groups went outside to the outside pool. Lots of them said it was freezing.

Swimming

On the second day of swimming we lined up where our teacher's name was on the cone. When the teachers were there they called our names from the roll on the piece of paper and they ticked the names off. My teacher's name was Matt and I have five girls in my group and three boys in my group as well. The five girls were Summer (which is me) Maggie, Parnian, Grace and Cindy.

Polluted Water

For the last week of our Waterwatch incursion, Julie brought in a tub of clean, drinkable water. After we had settled down in a circle, we each got a small canister, and on the front there was a labeled part which said something like: Garry Guzzler, Cameron Caughtafew, Dan Demolisher, school kids, and much more.

Julie started to tell a story which was about a platypus named Puddles. One day he saw a strange red rock floating in the water, and decided to follow it. The red rock wasn't a rock at all, it was a canoe with people rowing in it.

As he followed the rock, lots of polluted material gets washed into the river that Puddles is swimming in, such as: litter, grass clippings, sand, car oil, paint, dirt.. theres so many!

In the end, the water looked a lot dirtier than it was at the beginning. It was all brown with rubbish floating on top. It didn't look very clean or drinkable anymore.

Poor Puddles!

Painting Sea Creatures

On the last day of August we have been painting some sea creatures. The sea creatures are dolphins, fish, sharks and whales. People who are doing Dolphins can do a white bottom half or a grey bottom half. Also the sharks can do the same but the fish are the only different ones because the people get to choose what colour they want.
