World of Maths

Woo! Hoo! This looks exciting. Today, our whole school went into the hall for World of Maths. I remember doing this last year. First, we got numbered. I was number 1. Each group had a Year 5. The first game we played was, 'Go up.' We had to move a handle to make a girl go up and down. The 2nd game we played was, 'Pick the Apple.' We had to get an apple and put it in the right place. The 3rd game we played was, 'Tidy it up.' That was our last game because that took ages. 

Swimming Day.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! went the noisy bell. I zoomed to class. The first thing we did was go to prayerful assembly. When our whole school was in the hall, the new kids came to the door. Mrs Smith called, "Haere mai,  Haere mai, Haere mai.". Sienna's uncle said welcome in Maori. When assembly was over, we did some work. Later on, it was lunch time.
But Room 4 had lunch early. It was time to go to the pools. When we got there, we got changed into our togs. First we had to wait for Room 3 to hop out. When it was our turn, I leaped guiitly into the dazzling cold water.
The first thing we did was make a whirl pool. Then we did freestyle. Then backstroke. Then we got some free time. Then we got dressed. Then I trudged to school. While we were waiting for the bell to go, we were allowed to play on the playground. Suddenly the bell rung just as I got to the playground.
