Better Biking



We had a really fun time on Monday riding our bikes and going over road rules .Some of us found that we weren't as good at some things as we thought we were!!! We practised hand signals and stopped at the lights. We also had challenges where we had to ride really slowly and in small areas .

Our trip to the Gardens


We walked to the gardens as part of our study on plants. We went into the glasshouse and looked at all the plants that need heat and water. We had some questions to answer and interesting plants to find. The other group was looking round outside and inthe alpine area.After that we walked up to the Meditteranean area and had lunch in the shade .It was really hot anad we were tired from all the walking!We walked up through the rhododendrons and then through the native area. Finally we walked home .We had fun and learnt a lot about different plants and where they are best suited to survive.

Cricket

We had two fun days playing cricket against other schools .The year 5 and 6 went one day and the year 3 and 4 group went the following Tuesday.We played well and really enjoyed it.
