Christchurch Show

On Wednesday the 12th of November we went to the Christchurch Show. We saw heaps of animals like horses , pigs, cows, calves,chickens, lambs and goats. We also had a quiz that Mrs Calder made up for us. We had to find and name 3 different animals, draw a new invention that we found on display, find 3 ways to move a pile of dirt, a new way to heat your home, the oldest piece of machinery and Arcoda Lodge is a Horse Stud what kind of horses do they breed. It was exciting trying to find where everything was. We learnt about lots of different information on different topics. It was a really hot day and we were all exhausted by the time we went home. We were really grateful to all the parents for taking us and helping us find the answers to our questions. So a big thank you to you all.

Speeches

We had to write and practise our speeches on an Olympic sport.We had to look up information about the sport or the person we were doing. We then had a competition.Our speech had to last 2 minutes and be really interesting. There were three groups made up of 5 yr 4's, 5 yr 5's and 5 yr 6's. There was only one winner from each yr. The winners were Liam B for yr 4's, Ben D for yr 5's and Andrew S for yr 6's. Because they are the winners they have to stand up in assembly on Friday and say their speech in front of everybody.
