Be Smarter Than The Sun

We need to protect our wonderful skin from life threatening disease caused by the sun.

 

If you don’t protect your skin you might get skin cancer or melanoma, making you very sick and sometimes ending in death.

 

To protect ourselves from getting burnt use sun screen at least twice a day if it is sunny.

 

Too much time in the sun can be very harmful. Too much time can get yourself sun burnt. You can get sun stroke, it is very harmful.

 

Make sure you are smart around the sun.

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.

Skiing

School started, morning tea, lunch, so long, why can't it be 3.30?

After school, OK 40 minutes to go.  Yes it's 3.30, off we go up the road to Wanaka for our annual skiing trip with the school.  I'm in a vehicle with Abby, Gabby, Andy and Jeff.

It was a long trip to Wanaka but we eventually got there.  We stayed at the Wanaka Lakeview Holiday Park.

Tea was all ready because Karen had gone up earlier to cook tea, it was yummy.  I liked the lasagne best.

We had gone to the cabins and got to choose who we were going to room with.  I roomed with Gabrielle.

The next morning we got up at 6.00, had breakfast then we left for the Cardrona ski field.  When we got there it was snowing.

We got our ski boots and skis and were all ready to head out.  We were with our instructor on the chair lift.  When we got to the top and started skiing.  It was freezing cold but we were strong.  When we finished out lesson we all went inside to warm-up.  Half an hour later we went back outside to ski.

It was lunch and we had to stop because it was like a blizzard.  It was a long travel home and we were the only car who stopped for fish and chips.

We finally got home.  It was so much fun and I hope we go skiing at Menzies.
