Homework Project

Today Connor brought his possum trap into school.  It was his extra homework choice for this term.  He built it with his Dad, it took all Saturday afternoon to build.  He is going to try it out at his cousin's farm.

GIANT footsteps

SWIMMING

On a hot, windy morning Room 11 walked to the school pool so we could see Paige B, Poppie B, Harrison do some lengths. While they did it Mrs Eaton timed them. We cheered for them. It was even windier on the way back. Everybody’s hats were blowing off. In the sky it looked like a giant was walking on the cloud.

CRICKET with Garfield

On a hot Monday afternoon Room 11 went out to the field at the Hampstead School grounds.   We did cricket with Garfield.  The lesson was about catching.  I made a good catch by  watching the ball and moving where the ball went.

Next, we had to throw a ball to a partner who was throwing a ball to us too.
It was a little bit tricky because I'm throwing the  ball and another ball is coming towards me.

After that we had to do under-arm bowling.  We had to hit a target, when we bowled.
My partner was Harrison, so I bowled to him.  We both hit the target seven times,
I hit it seven times first.

Lastly, we played a game.  We had to keep our eyes on the ball and hit it as far as you can, then run as fast as you can back and forward.  I was in group three.  We got about 15 runs and the other team got about 10.
My team won, I was proud.  Then we shook hands.  The thing that I liked was throwing the ball to my buddy.
