Goodbye to Room 4

Hi,

This is the last post for the Room 4 2009 Class Blog.  I have loved being your teacher - and hope you have a great time in your new class in 2010.  I will be checking out all your class blogs to see what you're all  doing!  I'm keeping this blog up ... so you can come back and check out the photos and videos of the cool things we did in 2009.  Here's a pic of all of you with your awesome frames ... (and a separate one of Emma since her frame wasn't quite finished on that day!)

Cheers,

Katie

The Room 4 Stars of Plimmerton School Variety Show

Because it was raining at the Gala on Saturday, it was decided to hold the Variety Show on Wednesday afternoon in the school hall. It was a fantastic show, with some amazing talent - jokes, singers, dancers, and the very talented Plimmerton School Rock Band "Almost Famous". But according to Room 4, the real stars of the show were two from our class: Edie and Emma! Emma danced a solo number - very brave! And Edie danced with her sister Maia and friend Jordyn.  The rest of Room 4 think you girls rocked!

Josie's nearly first Waka Ama Regatta!

I went down to Onepoto Domain today in Porirua to watch the Hoe Tonga Waka Ama Sprint Regatta ... because one of our class was racing ... and it wasn't me! Josie has started paddling with her brother at TOA Waka Ama Club, and they were supposed to race today in the Midget Division. Unfortunately it was just a bit too windy, so their race was cancelled. Lets hope the weather is better for the next race on the 12th December. I'm organising that one, so the weather WILL be perfect! Here's a pic of Josie in her uniform.

Katie's Waka Ama race

Hi from kaiteriteri! I had my first race today ... In a single waka for 10km. It was a pretty big sea - waves of about 3 metres!! I came last but had so much fun. Lots of people pulled out so I'm glad I finished. I flipped as I came over the finishing line! Tomorrow we have the 6 person 21km race. Wish me luck! I'll try and post pics tomorrow.

C'mon Cool Cats ... its Swimming Time Again!

The first day of swimming was today, and only 4 people with no togs - that's a pretty good effort.  Lets try and get everyone with their togs tomorrow! We're swimming in Weeks 3,4,7,8.  Everyone needs to remember their togs, towel, goggles and a bag to put all your gear in. Our swimming days are:
Monday 1.20pm, Tuesday 11.50am, Wednesday 10.50am, Thursday 11.50am. We may try to go swimming this Friday as well (since we missed out on Monday because of Labour Weekend).

Parents - if you would like to come and help with swimming - all help is appreciated!

Cheers,

Katie

Mission Possible ...

OK Room 4 ... here is your mission ...

1.  You need to go down the side of our class blog - and find the part that looks like this.  The title is "Blogs to Check Out"
   
2. Click on one of the blogs - if you have a brother/sister/cousin at school - click on their blog.  
3. Have a look around their blog - then leave a comment.
4. On Monday we will check the blogs - and if your comment is there ... you are a winner!  You will be a chair person on one of the days this week.

SO GET BLOGGING!!  :)

Question of the day ...

OK folks ... here is today's Question:

Who was the last animal that got on the bus in the book Fiona read to us today in the library?

First two to tell me the answer are Chair People tomorrow!

See you tomorrow.
