My Holiday

You won't believe what I did in the holidays! 

Yup you guessed it...I went to the pools with my friend Gabrielle.


Firstly I called Gabrielle to see if she wanted to go the pools and she said yes.  We both got changed and Gabrielle came over to  my house and we went.

Next my Dad drove us to the Lloyd Elsmore pools and my Dad looked after us. We dived in like little mermaids as soon as we got  in to the pool.  We had so much fun.

Lastly my Dad let us play in the park for a little while and we went on this yellow swing.  It was so big!   Then we went on this spinning thing, it made me so dizzy.

Then we had to go home.  We had so much fun.  maybe we can do it another time.

Mighty Muscles

                                                          Mighty muscles

By Sue Gibbinson

W.a.l.t find and summerise information in the text.

Today Mars read an article called Mighty muscles.

• I learnt that your smallest muscle is your stapedius and your biggest muscle is your gluteus maximus.
• Did you know that a smile uses 15 muscles,a frown uses 40 muscles and walking uses 200 muscles.
• To build strong muscles you need to exercise and eat the right kind of foods.
• Its important to stretch before playing any kind of sport.

  I liked this article because it teaches you how to be healthy 

  and how to be prepared when you warm up.

My Reading Reflection

In this piece of work I was learning to find and summarise information in the text.

I have now learnt to write the most important information in my own words.

I need to improve putting information into a sentence in my own words.

The math Olympiad.

On Thursday our whole class went to maths olympiad.  There was two groups and four people in each group.  I was so excited when we first got there.  When we got there we had to wait for the other groups.  When the other other groups got there Mrs Hodge went through the rules and then we began. We went and got our first question then Mrs Melville started the timer. When we got up to 95 we got up to 100. We were so relieved that we won. Mrs Melville stopped the time and handed out the certificate then we went to class and finish our work.
