Ash Wednesday

On Ash Wednesday, our class joined the rest of the school for a liturgy. We were all given ashes on our foreheads to remind us that we should try to follow Jesus more closely. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent and we have been learning about this in class and have made lenten promises. Hopefully you will see us keeping our promises throughout Lent.

Shrove Tuesday - Pancake Races

On Tuesday of this week we had pancake races with Kea Class for Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is the day before lent begins. Ask us why people traditionally made pancakes on this day.

Weka Can Swim

My swimming teacher showed me how to float and put my face under the water. Flynn At swimming today I had a noodle around my waist to teach me to float and kick. Siobhan I put my thumb up and cupped my hand through the water. One hand went over the back on the board. Elijah Yesterday at swimming one of my favourite things was life saving. It was really cool because one person was pretending to drown and another person was holding a rope. When they can see that person they throw the rope to them. And they hold on tight and you pull them in. Caleb My favourite bit was at the end. We played Throws and Tows. You throw a rope out to someone who is pretending to drown and you have to stand on the rope and let them catch it and you pull them in. After that we did it with a noodle. Lily We had to make our bodies go sideways and we had to kick our legs and put our head on our shoulder. My favourite thing at swimming was jumping in the deep end with the lifejacket on and I had lots of fun at swimming. Rhema Today at swimming we learnt to do dolphin dives. You dive down and then you go up again then dive down again. So you keep on doing it. At the very end of the wave pool we put life jackets on and we jumped in from the middle of the pool. Alice

Welcome to 2015

Kia Ora and Welcome to Weka Class 2015. What a wonderful summer we are having. I hope you are out enjoying it. This is one of the spots that I have visited recently. I am hoping that my new lifestyle of 3 days a week at school will allow me to visit a lot more places like this.
