Autumn Memories
By Nina
I see the leaves drifting in the cold night breeze.
I see snails slithering slowly in the long wet grass.
I hear bees buzzing all over the place.
I hear crunching leaves under my feet.
I feel worms digging under my toes.
I feel bumpy, pointy leaves.
I smell mown grass with leaves crunching.
I smell delicious fruit.
That’s what reminds me of Autumn.

Swimming Sports

We had a fabulous time at swimming sports!
Have a look at some pictures of the day.

Swimming

We have just finished 2 weeks of daily swimming lessons with Hilton Brown instructors in the school pool. The children had a fabulous time. They LOVED their lessons and made so much progress. Look at what we learned.

We learned to kick with long, strong legs.

 Our instructors gave us lots of useful tips.

We got really fit. We can swim a whole length of the pool!

 We listened carefully to all the instructions.

We learned to lean to the side to breathe without stopping.

Some of us even learned to swim breast stroke!

We learned to swim backstroke. 

 We used kick boards to help practice our arm circles.

We blew bubbles with out eyes down while we did arm strokes.

 

 

Assembly

Rooms 20 and 21 loved practicing for and presenting our assembly in the school hall. We were quite nervous to speak in front of such a big audience, but excited at the same time. Here are some photos of our presentation.

Philosophy

This term we are doing Philosophy for Children as part of our Oral Language program. We are learning to take turns speaking and to agree or disagree with other people's ideas.

This week the topic we discussed was:
"We should chop down our junior orchard to build a cool new playground."

Here are our thoughts...

Sophie: I disagree because our junior orchard is very special because we're going to plant some marigolds in there.

Bethany: I agree with Sophie because our junior orchard is the home for the worms

Molly: I agree with Sophie because the junior orchard is special because it's native. It's not very good to nature to chop trees.

Tyler: It is our responsibility to take care of the junior orchard. It's the worms' home. It keeps us alive 'cause it has oxygen.

Nina: I agree with Sophie because the orchard is a special place. The worms make soil so we can make more flowers.

Caroline: I agree with Sophie because it's part of nature.

Louella: I agree with Sophie because if we chop it down some worms might get chopped in half and die.

Miss Cockcroft: We need more playground space because we have lots more children at our school now.

Rowan: I disagree with Miss Cockcroft 'cause without the orchard we'd have nowhere to put the worm scraps.

Mitchell: I agree with Sophie because if the orchard wasn't there we would all die. The worm farms give us oxygen and so does the orchard.

Olivia: I disagree with Miss Cockcroft because if the orchard was cut down there would still because there would still be soil. And because trees help us to breathe. If there were no trees it would all turn into a desert.

John: I agree with Olivia because if the trees weren't here nobody would be on Earth.

Lucy: I disagree with Miss Cockcroft because if we had a playground in the orchard there would be no sun in the classrooms along here.

Bhawnvir: I agree with Miss Cockcroft because if we don't cut the orchard down we won't have enough places to play.

Hazel: I disagree with Miss Cockcroft because the orchard is special and the worms and plants would die.
