On Tuesday 23.2.10, it was the school triathlon. The first race was at 11-12.30. These people were the 4-8 years. Then 0-3 years raced at 1.15-2.30. Most of the triathlon was held at the school and the was held outside. We had to do swimming, biking and running. I took my bike, helmet, clothes, goggles, shoes, sunscreen, sun hat, togs and towel. I was doing an individual race. When I heard Mrs Scott say GO! I raced off. I had to do six lengths. After the swim, I went straight to my bike. I got my t-shirt on then raced around the field on my speedy bike. I felt like I was going to fly off. When I had done all six laps, I put my bike back. I took a breath and raced off. I started off slow and then got faster. Leanne was there to help us cross the road. I got the stitch coming down the hill. I felt like I was going to give up but I didn't give up. I kept going. When I got to the top of the hill, I sprinted to the finish line. I ran as fast as I could. When I finished the race, I just wanted to clap, I was so proud of myself. I came second. After the triathlon Room 3 got to go for a swim. It felt great, I loved it. Then some people went home after the triathlon. I loved the day and I would love to do it again, next year.

We have settled into our classroom routines and are now focused on completing our activities! We are still working on doing our "BEST" with everything we do and making sure that we are helpful to others that are not quite sure of the routines. I have been impressed with everyone doing their homework, the standard of work in the classroom that is being finished and the attitudes that most of the children are demonstrating. We have been working on Natural Disasters and will now move on to Kitchen Chemistry next week, we will still keep an interest in the news and re visit any disasters that happen around the world.
