YouthTown



YouthTown
30th March 2010
Today YouthTown came to our school to teach us how to do new sports. They taught us new skills on the rugby field and it was cool.
First we played a game of Cat and Mouse. One team had to be the cats and the other team had to be the mouse. When I was the mouse Kalwinder was the cat and I didn’t get caught. When I was the cat I didn’t catch anyone.
The next game was learning how to skip forwards, backward and sideways. It was easy for me and the others in my group. I think the girls were better than the boys.
After this we played a different kind of cat and mouse but this time it was better. We learning to exercise our body and get fit at the same time as having FUN!
We had to go around the cones and step over them. It was kind of hard.
I was really excited when I was with YouthTown because they taught us cool things.

Buddy Reading is a Great Success


Mrs. Long and Miss. Dowman enjoyed an afternoon reading to the senior students of Room 23. Vanessa said, "I liked it when Mrs. Long read about Skipper because I used to be in her class."



Miss Dowman has a great story voice according to the children of Room 23 and hoped she'd come back and read again soon.

Swimming Sports


Yesterday Kelvin Road School held their annual Swimming Sports at Massey Park Pools. It was great fun and we were quite lucky becasue it was not too hot.


Whaea Elaine was the starter. She was really good at it. I do not think she needed the horn to start the races because she has a strong voice anyway.


Tomorrow, some of the swimmers will be going to the interschool competition. They have been practising for a while at lunchtimes so I think they will do really well. Good luck team!
