Skipping with Erin
Calais - "We needed to measure the skipping ropes to check they were the right size. If the handles came up near our shoulders, it was a good size."
Matthew - "You should land on the balls of your feet."
Namrata - "Your arms need to be tucked next to your sides."
Nivriti - "We had to be careful not to hit anyone with the skipping rope."
Josef - "Don't jump too high, or your timing might be wrong."
Chloe - "We learnt how to do the bell skip. We jumped back and forwards across a line on the ground while skipping."
Josef - "You need to have a rhythm".
Griffin - "It is easier to do 2 jumps for each rope swing."
Connor - "It's hard to skip backwards."
Lathaniel - "It is hard to skip while running because I kept whipping my feet."
Aki - "When you are skipping you should always look forward so you can see where you're going."
Griffin - "It is difficult to skip forwards with two feet together. (Jumping)."
Matthew - "Make sure you jump early so you don't trip over the rope."

Waiwhakareke Tree Planting
Waiwhakareke Tree Planting on PhotoPeach
Room 9 went tree planting on Arbor day. There were children and adults from lots of different Waikato schools and together we planted 30,000 trees! We planted natives such as kowhai, flax, totara, and kauri trees. Children have been planting trees here for 10 years so some of the trees are quite big now.
It was very muddy and slippery but luckily we all had good balance and we didn't fall over! There was a magnificent view of Hamilton city from the top of the hill and we saw some deer in a paddock next to the reserve. The trees we planted will attract birds such as tuis and bellbirds.
After all our hard work, we got a sausage to eat at the end (and a carton of juice).
Our bus driver nearly left with the wrong children!! But fortunately she realised and told them to get off her bus so that we could get on. She even let us on with our VERY muddy shoes and boots. Hopefully it won't take her too long to clean all that mud off the bus floor!

Money Doesn't Grow on Trees
Our inquiry unit for term 2 is "Money doesn't grow on trees."
We had some financial advice from a visitor from the ASB bank about saving money.
Who saved the most in this game I wonder?
