Book Week Parade

On Friday it was the Book Week Parade you had to dress up as a character from a book. Some people just wore normal Kerrimuir clothes. I dressed up as Woody from Toy Story. I also brought the book and it came with a cd. My best friend James dressed up as Karate Kid. James and Cameron were identical because they were both the Karate Kid. James was a taekwondo guy and Cameron was a karate guy. At assembly 3/4A went on after 2B. We stood on the stage and gave everyone a huge cheer.

Waterwatch Wetland Birds

On Monday 3/4A and 3/4B went on a Healthy Waterways Waterwatch excursion and it was so tiring,we had to walk 6 kilometres.

We went to a place called Koonung Creek Wetlands at 1:30pm and when we got there the Melbourne Water lady, Julie gave 3/4A and 3/4B different activities.

34/A first did bird watching and 3/4B did the food race. After some time we swapped activities so 3/4A did the food race and 3/4B did bird watching. I saw an Ibis, Yellow Beaked Swamphen and lots of other ducks. I also saw a duck couple in the river.

I learnt that birds migrate over 1000 kilometres. Birds eat worms and seeds.

I thought the Water-Watch excursion was really fun.

Haiku Poems

3/4A did a poem that's called a 'Haiku'. It's a Japanese word but I don't know what it means. We had to write about Autumn on a piece of paper which someone will laminate after. The poem wasn't supposed to rhyme. It was supposed to be about the leaves that fell from the trees. Most of the people finished the Haikus. I had a fun time writing it. Miss Jeffery put our Haikus on the window in our classrooms so everybody could see them.

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.
