Cousins sleep over

On Thursday me and my family drove to town.

We left around 2 o'clock, Dad dropped us off so he could go to work. Then we hopped in our cousins car and drove to their Dad's work. We played a few arcade games. There was a fighting game and PlayStation car game.

 Then we went to the airport and dropped my mum and sister off so they could go to Brisbane. After that we went to the mall and got mouth watering ice cream. I got cookies and cream. And then we went to their house.

Me and my cousin played hockey inside and then went to my cousins Uncles hockey. The turf was bright green. They practised inside and me and my cousin played hockey upstairs. After my uncle finished hockey I was sweating like I ran round the bays,then we tried skyping my mum unfortunatly it didn`t work.

ANZAC poem

People of ANZAC
Thank you for risking your lives for us,
Thank you for doing the best you can,
New Zealand and Australia you have done us proud,
We will never forget what you have done for us
And we will never forget ANZAC day.

EOTC week

On Wednesday it was EOTC week.When the bell rang we went straight to the classroom. The teacher did the roll and then put us in groups and we sat on the field.

The first thing we did was problem solving. We did peg tag, we started with 4 pegs to put on yourself. Then you run around trying to steal each others pegs. Then we played the mine game which is were you jump but if you step on the wrong one the teacher goes boom. Then we played the pipe game which is were you all hold a pipe and the teacher drops a golf ball in the first persons pipe and once the golf ball has gone past your pipe you run to the back of the line we didn't get the golf ball to the end of the wall.after that we played this game called Crocodile. There is mats on the ground and 3 planks of wood. With the wood you  have to put them on the mats and try and get your way across to the classroom. Then we played this game called puzzle which is were you hide puzzle pieces then find them and build the puzzle.

Then we went into the gully and played this game called walkie talkie you have to pick a buddy and a walkie talkie. You have to hide in the gully and play tic tac toe on your walkie talkie.

After that we did tp building on the field the adults showed us how to do a reef knot with rope and bamboo. We failed the first time the second time we did it but it fell down.

Then we did archery on the court. The man showed us how to hold a bow and put the arrow in the bow. Then you pull the string really hard and let go of the string I didn't hit the board it was really hard.

Then we did flint stone cart building. We used barrels for wheels wood to sit on and bamboo to put it together. The man taught us 2 knots the glove hitch and the carpenters hitch then we rode it round the field.

I think that was my best day of EOTC week.

My reading goals

My goal is to practice accuracy so I can read the words correctly.

 I will do this by chunking letters and sounds together based on patterns I know. I can skip the word and come to it when reading.
