BOATS

Jayden blowing up his balloon



The proud winners

Take a look at our boats, all were great at floating and some powered right across the paddling pool by balloon power!  Jayden's and Foni's even hit the side!







Our Cars

Technology

We have been making cars and trying to get them going.

Awesome work Isaac!

Great design

Push power and balloon power!

Some went quite a way by pushing, and we even managed to get a few going with a balloon.

NETBALL

Hampstead C Netball Game:

On a frozen Saturday morning I had to play netball, the ball was wet
and slimy.  At the 2nd quarter my brother was standing in the way
of the goal for Longbeach C.  Longbeach I think beat us by 4 more at the end.  We did 3 hiparrays and the team lined up behind me and said, "good game".  Then we did player of the game, both Drew and Fiona got Player of the Day.  Miss Wise was our umpire for the day so she got, 'supporter of the day'.  We shared out the lollies and went home.

Unfortuntely the girls were running so fast in the game I have lots of blurry photos! But here are a couple.
If you play rugby or another sport prehaps you could bring a couple of photos and a neat story about your game to add to our blog.

Student of the Week - Acacia

On Friday Acacia was presented with the Student of the Week Certificate at assembly.

Acacia got this award because she is a great listener, she gets on with her work and is helpful and kind to other Room 9 students.  Well done ACACIA!

COLLAGE

This term we have been working up ripping up small pieces of paper from magazines to make a collage.  Here is Ryan working on his ladybird.

Foni's ladybird is on the left, with Caleb's on the right.

They worked on the flower together.

Foni and Caleb were very good at ripping up small bits of paper and glueing them down.  Fantastic team work on the flower!

SNOW DAY!

On Wednesday it snowed.   We got the day off, Mum and Dad also had the day off.  After lunch we went to play outside, we made snowhills.  On Thursday Jack Frost came and froze the snow.  We had to come back to school wrapped up warm, it was also very slippery.  Today in The Press it showed that in Christchurch it had been the coldest that it had been since July 22nd, 1918.  In Christchurch it was -5.8 C and in Ashburton it was -3.8 C.
