Spike ball

4/27/2018

0 Comments

 
Most Fridays for the next few weeks we are going to be doing Spike ball. Outside last week we learned the basics and the moves and how to play against other teams. It was really fun. We had one of our teachers and two previous students teach us.
We are apparently okay considering that it was our first time playing. This year it was 5th& 6th playing it. Last year it was just 6th   class. We are going to a competition in a few weeks in Dublin. Hopefully we can win something,  though winning doesn’t matter it is more about having fun. Wish us luck.

We have a team together in the school where it actually makes people happier. Our team is called the Well Being Committee. The members are Jane,Amy,Emily,Stephanie,Matilda and Daniel and the teacher  is Ms Carroll. She helps us with our surveys and everything else we do.

​We do yoga, meditation, dancing, colouring  competitions and lots of other fun activities. We have a happy space where there is candles and is a lovely area with lovely scents burning. It is a lovely area to stand beside for a few mins to smell the scents. We have an intention box where you put an intentions in every week.

We also have been learning to indicate and how to been seen on the road with high visibility jackets. Jason and Malcolm are very good at explaining the rules of cycling to us . They have thought  us a lot about being safe on a bike.

Not so long ago we had a jumble sale to raise money for the school so we can put in new tarmac. We got all the toys, teddy’s and other stuff from everyone at the school. 5th and 6th class were helping out with selling things. Parents were even allowed in to buy stuff.  If people where hungry, they could grab some cotton candy and popcorn off Alex and Charlotte. At the end of the day, we made E500 for the school, so as you can tell we did GREAT!!!

​
As part of Active week we completed a 5 run. It was held on Wednesday the 25th of April at 7 pm. We had 250 people participate in this event. Roughly about 60 children took part. There were pets and bikes too. It was great fun. There were lots of prizes. Everyone really enjoyed it and after the race they went to the hall for tea and cakes. It was a very cold evening. It was a great success.

Cooking

​In school 6th class started cookery lessons. We did it for five weeks it was so much fun, before every lesson we did an icebreaker.  One time it was would you rather, another time it was where you wrote your name on a sheet and passed it around so everybody could write something nice about you. We brought home the sheet.
​
We made strawberry muffins, curry, loads of different kinds of smoothes, brownies,
pasta, vegetable soup, scones, apple crumble, salad, pizza, baps and Oreo milkshakes.
Everything was delicious most of it was healthy except brownies and Oreo milkshakes.
We only made them because it was our last week they were YUM!!! We were all
sad finishing but we got a certificate that says we completed the Cool Dude
Course. In the end we really enjoyed cooking.
