Healthy drinks

On the 3.8.11 some people from project energize came to school. She tought what to drink and not to drink.

We learnt how much sugar is in the drinks. The cans of coke and V have about 7 teaspoons of sugar and bottles of E2 have 20 teaspoons of sugar. Most energy drinks have caffine in them. Caffine is really bad because your heart can stop.

Perseverance

This term our big idea is perseverance.

Perseverance means not giving up like you started something and you had somebody trying to stop you something finishing. I have had to persevere with writing and spelling and reading

but reading was the hardest thing to do because I didn't know some words. I sounded words out so know I know the words in my reading books.

Reflection on term 2

I enjoyed maths because it was hard and easy and I learnt heaps. I learnt about improper fractions.


I found writing very hard because i had to achieve all of my goals which was very hard and achieve my other goals at the same time.

I want to learn more about science and about maths so I find it easy.

Basketball

We did baskteball last week. I learnt how to not travel. Travel is when you don't bonuce the ball.

I like basketball because of shooting and learning more skills every day.

Basketball was hard because of travelling and shooting.

Basketball is easy sometimes.

Camp Week

Last week we went to Raglan and had our camp week. I will talk about Raglan first.

The Middle Syndicate went to raglan on Wednesday on a bus. When the class went into the club house we had a tour around the club house. The life guards took the class around the club house. The class had morning tea. After the morning tea the class learnt about the waves, which ones were dangerous. Then the class went outside to look at waves. Then we went to the Beach to have after the swim. We got changed back into are clothes . Then got on the bus and left.
