From the 12th of November to the 23rd we have been doing swimming and here are some Does and Don'ts

This is Me when I jumped
 into the pool

Here are some do's 


Do keep calm
Do stay in a group
Do keep near the boat

Here are some don'ts

Don't try and swim to shore on your own
Don't panic
Don't swim away from the group

This is one of Me in the boat

PRODUCTION

By MADELINE, EMILY-ROSE, VETI

I hear  different sounds of clapping from the audience down below like screaming shouting and of course clapping on the bright  big stage filled with colours and different countries all behind us while we were performing.

I see the big bright colourful lights shine in my face and I can’t see the audience because they are so bright  that all a saw was pure black so I didn't want to look  at the audience at all.

I felt so nervous on the big stage because when the big stage light was on me I felt so nervous cause I thought I would do something wrong while I was dancing cause I  have never ever done that before in my life but once it was finished I felt alright .

The light’s blinded me when I started to dance, I took this seriously cause this was my chance, my glittering top at a glance would make you clap your hands my frilly skirt would make you stand as it moved side by side by my hand, we are all in this together I thought to myself so I,ll make my family proud. I danced and danced until my feet hurt then I took my bow and waited for the audiences clapping hands.

The Greatest Show in town

The Greatest Show 

Rm 6 and Rm 15 presented the assembly and it was a blast Emily-Rose and I dressed up as the lady who sang Never enough for me excepted  I wore white and Emily-Rose wore black.

My math with Heath and Emily-Rose

At our school we work with a maths mate and share our thinking with them. We ask questions about our maths and if we aren't sure of something, we explain how we do it. We know that 2 brains are often better than one and we enjoy working collaboratively. 

Today Heath, Emily-rose and I worked on solving this problem 

Kyla, Mya and Grace went to the movies. Their tickets cost $14.60 each. How much did their tickets cost altogether?

Koru Art

Here is my koru art based on the work of Raewyn Harris, a New Zealand artist.

You can look at her work by clicking on this link. I like the colours I have used.

In writing I have used a poem by James K. Baxter as a starting point to write my own holiday poem. I hope you like it.

Madeline’s James K Baxter Poem

The Movie(Wonder) was usual enough;

It had ice cream, lollies, wine, popcorn and even a few tears.

My Nana, Guy, sister and I did what movie-goers do.

Crying, laughing, eating, watching.  

Doing nothing important.
