Fun Athletics Day at Edgewater College By Matthew

On Wednesday 22nd March we were involved in the Edgewater College Athletics day. I was in Jones whanau team. Julia, Joel, Kyi-kyaw, and I were in the same team. First I did the 400m run. I came fifth. It was tiring. Next, I went to do shotput throwing and I did 6 throws. Next,  I went to do long jump. I did a good jump and added 6 points to my whanau team. The next game was the obstacle course. It was so hard to do. It is running and jumping on the desk and running around the cones and over the hurdles. It was so fun to do.

Cleaning Around the school Field by Joel

On Monday, we went to pick up rubbish on our school field. First of all, we got plastic bags and put on gloves. Then we went to EWC 3 to get the other students. Next, we went out onto the big field and started on the right side near the gym. I picked up lots of rubbish and filled up a big bag. After a while we went up to the area where the new classrooms are and we picked up more rubbish. Lastly, we went to the bins next to the gym and put all the rubbish bags in there and went back to the class. I was surprised to see how much rubbish was there on the school field.

       

Keeping our Beaches Clean By Joel

Yesterday we went to Farmcove Beach to see the local waterway. We went in the big Toyota van. When we got there we went for a walk around the beach and we saw lots of new houses and boats. After that, we went into the sand area of the beach  and picked up some rubbish. After that we went and played in the “Snakes and Ladders” on the Snakes and Ladders playground that they had there. First some one had to roll the dice and had to go up along ladders and go down by slides. We also went on the exercise machines by the carpark.  I had a really fun time at the beach and I hope we will go to look at other waterways in the near future.

Learning About Waterways By Julia

On Thursday,  we went to the  Farm Cove  beach with our class.  We didn’t go swimming because only two people brought their swimming togs.  We picked up the rubbish and put it in the bin. I found a bottle cap.  Then we played Snakes and Ladders.  We went in the Sommerville van and Nicola drove us to the beach. I went on the swings and I had lots of fun.  It was a sunny day and I liked to go to on the exercise machines.
