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.

Waterwatch Food Chains

On Monday we did a Waterwatch incursion and we were learning about food chains. Food chains are when an animal eats another and it goes on. We played a game about food chains where each person had to be a type of creature that eats something else (like shrimp gets algae). Everyone had to move around like their creature inside an area that was called the pond. The things at the bottom of the food chain got to take energy cards from the plants, then when something else ate them they had to pass the energy card on. Later we added pollution cards. The pollution made it difficult because if we were out of energy and there was only pollution left we all start to die. It was a fun game but difficult. We learnt about how pollution harms the whole pond.

Cross Country

At Cross Country we had to run around Springfield oval. We had to run 2km and it was tiring. Only people that came first to seventh went on to district. I went to district and it and it was the same distance. It was muddy, wet and steep. I hurt myself from a steep hill and I hurt my ankle. It was painful but it was alright. Cross-country was fun and exiting but it was hard.
