Rm 4's E.O.T. C. Cornwall Park.

At the end of last term we visited Cornwall Park and had a Teddy Bear's Picnic as part of our out door education. We had a picnic lunch with biscuits that we had iced at school. We walked through the indoor hot house and walked through the bamboo on our way to the Chinese Gardens.

Mahora School Cross Country.

We had a fantastic time at our school cross country. The weather was a bit wet but we jumped over hay bales and ran through a pool of water and we felt great when we ran to the finishing line. We were dressed in our team colours.

Room 4 just thinks Harold is wonderful and are asking the question "is Harold real?" A question that will have no answer.

We have been learning about what our body needs and healthy eating. We need VARIETY when we eat food to keep our body healthy. We need air, water, shade, exercise, sleep, love, shelter, food, safety and to wash our bodies.
Harold sang us a song about VARIETY and we went on a pretend picnic with Harold and Possum.

The Opening Of The Mahora School Bike Track. On Tuesday Room 4 had their helmet fitted (we all have our own helmets with our name on them,) then  we were able to go for a ride on a bike. We have three different tracks at  our school, the distance track, the pump track and the skills track. Nearly all of us can ride a two wheeler bike.
We had such fun on the bike track and had our photo taken. We can't wait until it is our turn again.
