It was so fun, after that we had morning tea and then we did the sprints, we did the sprints in our age groups. After we finished the sprints we went back to class and had lunch, some people pre ordered the chop suey, sausage sizzles, ice blocks and drinks that were on sale. Then after there orders got taken to them a few students brought some of the left over food that they were still selling. As soon as we finished lunch everybody met up on the feild for tug of war, first it was the parents vs teachers and the parents won. Then it was the house color unfortunately my house color ( taurere ) lost but overall it was a really good day. My favorite part of the day was tug of war and sprints because it was very enjoyable.

Rotoroa Island

On the first day of school in term 4 we went on a trip to Rotoroa islands . We got to learn about trees, different plants & native birds . The first thing we did was go to the beach & look for different kind of creatures in the sand . After that we walked to mens bay & we had a swim . The water was so nice but it was really cold , I really enjoyed it . We got to rotoroa island on a boat & we left on a boat . Once it was time to leave we all got on the boat & went back to school.

Maths

This week in maths we have been learning about the Median, Range & mean . It was very enjoyable & i got nearly all of my questions right . Median means to put the number from smallest to biggest & you find the middle number , but if there 2 numbers in the middle then you plus it together & then divide it by how many numbers that are there , but if theres only one middle number then thats the answer.
