Cross Country

Yesterday we had our cross country.  We got a number on our hand when we finished to show where we came.  The Y2's did one lap and the Y3's did two laps.  There were four hay bale jumps.  Everyone had a great time and we were well behaved.  We have started the School of Fitness.  We do exercises and will go every second week.  On Friday we will start Term 3 Electives.  We had 13 activities and we got four choices.  today we will find out which group we are in.  We have published our holiday stories.  You can come into R17 to read them.  We have been watching the Olympics and at the moment we have got eight medals.  We keep track of them on our chart.  In our class we have had some illnesses. One of them was 'flu (influenza).  Seven children were away for all of last week and on two days 10 children were away.  most of us are still coughing but we know how to cough into our elbow and how to wash and dry our hands to kill as many germs as possible.  Caleb has gone back to Australia with his family.  We will miss his smiley face, so we are emailing him.
