Marry Mackillop day

Last Friday the 10th of August 2018 It was MARRY MACKILLOP DAY!!!! so as soon as the bell rung for school to begin, we lined up for the first thing to the very speacial day and to start we went to our school church and then it was morning tea time witch means play time.
After that we did MMK rotations and we did it in at least 2 hours I made chatter boxes and finger puppets,chalt art and other fun things. after lunch in the After noon  we did Tabliodes it is when you play games on the field as groups and to end the games we did a chant and mill hill won but over all it was really fun!

taster session

On the 3rd of August Friday we had a taster session int he second block of school and that's when only the sinor school goes to a different classroom and I choose to go in room 1 and the reason we are doing this is because our term 3 concept is EXPLORATION! and we learn and do new things that we have not done before.

anyway in room 1 did art and we did plastiring art and  we had to put on a art top and garbed a pencile and lightly schetched out our own disighn on a piece of polistiring and then did it harder then once it's finished you can get and choose a paint colour and paint on your peice and grabe a paper and lay it on andpat it on softly the peel off the paper and then you are done with your work and let it dry.


Overall I thought that it was super fun and I did something tat I had never done before and think that you should try it out, It was super fun to do.

wearble arts

Wearable Arts 

 our class have been doing wearable arts and make it out of recyclable things and we could choose a buddy or do it by your self and pick a category and I  chose a partner and we chose under the sea.

building?


While we were building our wearable arts we used 2 black garbage bags paint glitter glue duct tape and scissors  colour spray we used paint to make  our fish and other things on our dress we also made a headband out of Styrofoam and glue and other things.

What is  Adaptation?
Adaptation is changing something to make it better than before
for Example the simple mug Isn't it annoying when the chocolate  gets stuck on the bottom so that's why someone invented the self stir mug witch makes no mess at the bottom.

How is my costume related to Adaptation?

My costume is related to Adaptation because it is  a garbage bag and in the sea there are lots of bags in the sea so you can stop using plastic and use it in a form of a dress.

why is adaptation important now and in the future?

because it can be a recycled piece of clothing in the future and it could stop pollution.

swimming sports

Swimming sports!

Swimming sports was on the 13th of march When i woke up on in a new cloud blowing Autumn  i will go over all the things I did during swimming sports and the first thing I did was… backstroke length and i go so many butterflies in my stomach and when mr bark blew the whistle to go  and i reached to the end of the pool… I won 3rd place! And it was my first ever place i scored in swimming sports! But then… as soon as I got out of the swimming pool I was FREEZING It felt like I was living Antarctica! I had to wait for a long long time just waiting in the cold and then next came the   width Backstroke and I said to myself OK let's do this I think this will be a good one for me. so I went to Mrs Keto in my house group just in case you didn't know it's Mackillop as In Blue. so I put on my goggles and  I was ready to go so when the whistle went I shoot it off but my foot slipped on the edge of the pool and I had a bad push-off well anyway I came well really I don't know what place I came so when I got out the pool again as usual it was freezing cold with the Wind then all of the other year groups went I was wrapped up in my wet cold towel. Eventually when it was my turn again we  went into freestyle and of course I decided to do it so as soon as a whistle went I shoot it off fast as I could pushing and pushing myself as hard as I could and... I placed second place in freestyle and I was so happy and excited I thought for a moment and said to myself I think Mum and Dad will be quite happy with me and proud of me so again then there was width freestyle and of course I did it and this time I got a good push-off because I was not backwards so I had a powerful push the  border and I'm not sure what place I came because those are actually raises but I still can't the middle school I think I can maybe 4th or 5th.And I was still quite happy with my score. and next there was my favourite stroke can you guess what it is? it’s... breaststroke and I was doing it for 50 metres long and i will also be going to do it width breaststroke so I was so excited I was lining up in my House Group Mackillop and we went first to the 50 metre swim and they jumped into the warm  pool and this soon as whistle blew I shooted off as fast as i could. and I see one of my best friend with me But she was in front me so I was trying to go as fast as I could and as you thought my friend came first but... I came second place and I gave my best friend Hi-Five and she said thanks you did an awesome job to ! and then there was breast stroke width and I when and me and my friend Charlie and I came 1 place tied! And after I had to stay until 5:00 because I had to have swimming lessons in the deep pool inside. And after I was so tired and impressed with my swimming. But I had a really great time!

That was summer

Remember that time when you just arrived at the beach in your flip flops and the sand was boiling like it was cooking your feet?

Remember how you jumped into the nice cool blue water and you were so relieved? That was summeremember that time when you asked your parents for a mouth watering Ice cream?

Remember when you just walked into the Ice cream shop and you saw the most scrunches looking flavours?

And you bought a giant scoop of pure passion ice cream and it was so pure and creamy and your parents bought a real fruit ice cream? That was summer.

Our class used a poem written by Marci Ridlon as our inspiration
