Leadership Day

Leadership day!

 

On Tuesday 17^th of September the year five & six’s had their leadership day.  We were building compost bins.

In the morning we were either digging holes, prying wood apart with the crowbar or cleaning the worm farm.  All the girls apart from Gabrielle and I were cleaning the worm farm.  Hayden, Ashton and Ezekiel were digging the holes.  Ted, Stirling and Bond were using the crowbar.  Gabrielle and I were pulling out nails.  Mr Avery was helping us build the compost bins. 

After morning tea we were setting up putting the pellets where they were going to go and we started nailing everything together.  All of us put the compost bins together.  It was about one o’clock when we were finished. They look awesome.

Football Tournament

On the 18th of September the senior class went to a football tournament at West Gore school.

We had two teams, the Glenham Rockets and the Glenham Strikers. The Glenham Rockets won 2 and lost 2 and the Glenham Strikers won 3 and lost 1. We played four games of 20 minutes each.

Both teams foot tripped people a lot (it was fun!) We used the soccer skills we have learnt all term and the competition was tough.

At the end we had to have our picture taken. The hardest team was Te tipua, they had year 7&8,s in it.

I think we all did well.

Visit to Observatory

Visit to the Observatory

On the 18^th of September some of Room Nui and some of Room Iti went to the Observatory in Invercargill to look at some planets.

When we got there we had to wait for a while for the man to get there so he could let us into it. When we got into the observatory the man told us about some of the planets that we could see tonight. He told us it was too cloudy so we would have to wait for a while for it to clear up.

While we were waiting we took a look outside, we all started to panic “there are people in the gardens AHHH!” shouted some people, while some others shouted “show your faces and I’ve got a gun so beware.”  In the end it was our shadows on the trees.

Right back to the story, we ended up seeing Venus and the moon. I saw mountains on the moon and some craters.  

By the time we got home it was almost 9:00 and I was so sleepy.

Overall I had a great time and I loved seeing the moon and Venus.
