We practiced going around cones and did activities to improve our skills and balance.
Activities included…
1. Slow races.
2. Obstacle courses.
3. Quick turning in tight corners.
4. Hand signals.
5. Traveling in lines in circles and figure eights.
Next week Constable Phil will come back and we will be learning about how to ride on the road safely.

The power of a letter
Just a short time spent looking at what a letter should look like, brainstorming of ideas and then some time with pencil in hand and we had some amazing results.
With a handful of carefully written letters to the wonderful people of Mitre 10 and Upper Clutha Transport we were able to help us complete the first stage of the tunnel house.
Mitre 10 provided us with seeds, seedlings and wood for the raised gardens, while the guys at Upper Clutha Transport donated us almost half a tonne of Mushroom Compost.
It was a great way to see the power of a letter and to the people of Mitre 10 and Upper Clutha Transport "Thank you very much!"
Photo Competition... three days to go
If you did not look very closely you might just think that this photo was real. Very professionally done!

Google Earth Challenge
Hello there, yesterday we looked at finding places on Google Earth just from having the Grid References. I have taken several photos off Google Earth and it is your challenge to try to find them by using the grid references shown at the bottom of the photo and the directional arrow and zoom function on Google Earth.
I have also included a link to the place that you download Google Earth for free, so you can use it at home and share it with your friends and whanau.
Good Luck
Ps: Click on the photos to see them larger so that you can read the grid references easier.
The competition may have been won by Oban, but you are still able to try the challenge and there will be a reward/prize type thing for all correct entries :)

New Flag Designs
On my flag I have a red, black and White fern to Maori people and New Zealand; also I have a Union Jack and cross through the middle. The cross was for England and the Union Jack was for the United Kingdom. A flower was put in the bottom Corner to show the Pacific Islands. I used the cross, Union Jack and the flower to show where some people came from before they came to New Zealand and to show that New Zealand is a migrant country.

Working Up the Mountain
Most of the days in the holidays I went to Cardrona to ski, but today was different. I had to work in the apartments. It was exciting because I got to jump from the second story to first onto pillows. Then I went to ski hire and there was the gang: Jayden, Lucan, Luke, Finn and Charlie. I helped them to put their boards away then straight back to work.
