BROOK SANCTUARY

The Brook Sanctuary:

Last week we went to the Brook Sanctuary. I went with Tavie and Skye. Skye’s little sister Poppy fiddled with my hat! Someone called Mel took us into the freezing water. I caught heaps of stuff with a net. Rick taught us a lot about traps. Finally what I did after that was fishing. I smelled leaves that smelled like dropping honey. It was so fun. I loved it!

POHUTUKAWA SWIMMING CARNIVAL

SHIVERY FUN

On Thursday Room 14 had a swimming carnival at the school pool. I had butterflies in my tummy. I took a deep breath and jumped in. Brrrr, it was cold! Everyone was looking at me. I felt so nervous.

After I had done a starfish I got out.  Next up was the boys’ piggyback race, then the girls’ piggyback race. My buddy was Ayla. After I had finished my mum and dad were so impressed. I felt good. I felt good for getting in and having a go.
