Kate N,Phoebe and Lucy's Explain Everything.

Phoebe,Lucy and I explain everything I hope you enjoy and learnt something out of this video.

NO to extending school hours.

We already come to school for 6 hours which is 30 hours a week. Loburn school proposal to extend school hours would cause problems for our brains,our family's and our teachers.

I think we should keep our own time as 9:00 to 3:00 because our brains will burst if we have it as 8:30 to 3:30. Also it would be hard for us kids to take in all the information and I think that because the hours of school are longer we would be getting more work to do.

It would also affect our family because my siblings need to go to high school at different times so it would be hard for us to get to school and also they got to get to school. So 8:30 would not work.

Another reason why this would not work is because the teachers might have other children that go to different schools at the same time and the teachers would not be able to get to this shoot in time.

Therefore,extending the school hours would NOT be beneficial for the children, families and the teachers.

4x4 times tables.

In maths we are working on our times tables and how to work out the best options for our questions. Hope you enjoy and learn something out of this video.

Clubs!!!!

Katie, Selena, Zoe and I are in dance with Miss Lake. I chose dance because I really enjoyed it so much with her last time for Loburn’s got talent so I wanted to do it again. I didn't expect to see so many people and there were also boys which was surprising. 

We got to choose if we wanted to do hip hop or another type of style. I chose hip hop. Then Miss Lake put up some dance moves for us to follow. 

 I liked that we could choose our own type of style instead of Miss Lake telling us which one to do. Katie, Selena, Zoe and I are going to do a hip hop dance from scratch. We also get to choose our own music. After an hour and a half of dance I was tired but I learnt a lot of new hip hop moves and I can't wait to do it again on Friday.

For Friday my goal is going to be to make an awesome dance and make sure I help out anyone who doesn't know the moves and help to learn them and most importantly HAVE FUN. 

Cross Country

Week 4 Cross country

18/5/16

Here it was the day we have all been training for,CROSS COUNTRY. We were all nervous.

Lots of parents were there watching the children cross the finish line, it was nice to see all of the other children cheering them on.

Every time I heard the clappers go I knew it was getting closer and closer to my race. My heart was pounding and pounding.

I was so nervous and CLAP we were off we had to run 2.5km. We had to run in through the forest, up the hill and around the bottom twice. Once I was finished I was certainly puffed. Then I had to go to netball practice.

5 Times Tables

The Sheep Pig

We are reading a novel called The Sheep Pig and this Pig wants to be a dog but it is a pig so maybe,just maybe it can be a sheep pig.

Mt Richardson

Last friday of week 2 the whole school went on a Mt Richardson walk.

Phoebe, Jan and I walked at the back together (Jan is Payton’s grandma).It took about 2 hours to get up the mountain and then we had morning tea. The view was AMAZING when we got to the top and then we had lunch while we were at the top. On the way down I got a bleeding nose and Phoebe almost fell off the side.When we were crossing a bridge we thought we heard someone under it and then Rhys’s mum popped out a gave us a fright that was funny.We had lots and lots of fun and I can’t wait to do something like that again. :)

Taking Cover

One day a family of monkeys were collecting some food. It was dark and the mum said to everyone. 

"We have enough it's about to rain, so let's go home. Come on Jojo." 

Jojo was the runt of the family, he loved the outdoors. 

"I just have to get this one," said Jojo

"It's too high," said his dad. "I can do it!" said Jojo. 

As he reached out to grab the fruit he slipped in the wet weather and fell all the way down.

"NOOOOOOOOO!"cried his parents. 

As Jojo was just about to hit the ground he grabbed on to a vine and swung all the way back up to his parents and fell into there arms. 

"I told you I could get it!" said Jojo. 

"Phew" laughed his parents with relief.
