Tree planting at Waitahuna

On Tuesday Room 4 and 7 went on a trip to Waitahuna

to Nick's farm. First Room 4 and 7 split up into groups. Room 7 went electric fishing with Keiran and Angus and Room 4 went tree planting with Glenn , Matt and these two ladies from the Regional Council. On the farm, we planted flaxes along the river. When we planted the trees we had to dig the holes and put the plants in the hole and stand on the dirt, otherwise, the plant would come out really easily. We planted the trees because we wanted to help the fish and eels that live in  the Waitahuna river to have a better, stronger and healthier environment to live in. The flaxes help the eels stay safe, hide from other predators and to keep the river strong. After we  dug the holes we got an adult to help us put the plants in the hole and get them out of the bag. The two classes planted about 200 flax bushes while we were there.
While we were there Keiran showed us the eel he had caught overnight. IT WAS AWESOME DOING ALL THAT STUFF!!!!!!!.

Senior swimming sports

Last Friday I went the senior swimming sports at the Lawrence pool. I came 1st in freestyle and I don’t know, I think I came in 3rd backstroke and then I did a lot of races but I had to get out of the pool and get changed. After I got out I went down to room three and I couldn’t find room one and three. Finally I went back up to the pool and room one and three were there. I was so glad I found them.

South Otago Athletics

Last Wednesday I went to athletics in Balclutha. I did the sprints, 100 and 60 metre run. I got a two hour rest because there  were other kids racing so I got four licorice, sausage sizzle and fizz. I came third in 100 metre and fifth in 60 metre.

My Favourite  part of the day was getting all those treats.

I went to Balclutha with my dad, I didn’t get in the finals.

Athletics Day

Last Friday we had athletics day at Simpson park. My favourite event was high jump. I like high jump because it's fun and I like landing on the green mat and jumping over the big pole.  My other favourite event was sprints. I like the sprints because its fun and you get to do 100 metre sprints and 60 metre sprints at the South Otago sports in Balclutha. I really liked athletics day.
