What is the Purpose of a Blog?

What is the purpose of my blog.

Yoga- a moment to be mindful

Room 9 did yoga for the first time. Yoga was very fun and we learnt how to do yoga stretches. We used our imagination to look through a kaleidoscope and we found an ant inside an apple and he was dancing like a crab.  We learnt body positions such as a tree, ant, an apple and the moon. We began and finished by saying "namaste"

One of the messages we thought about was "If you can dream, you can be it!"

Alexandra's Gold Coast Holiday

Hi Mrs Kearns & Room 9. I went to Australia for 7 days. We went to Sea World, Movie World and Wet n Wild. At Movie World I went in a  mini car that went on a pretend road. I also went on the Scooby Doo roller coaster. It was amazing.At Wet n Wild I went on the black hole hydroslide five times and the Kamakazi twice. We also went to Legoland at Dreamworld. Our house had a massive pool. It was the best trip ever!!

Liliana's Holiday Photos and Writing

Hi Room 9,

I went to Westport for a holiday to see Poppa and Jane. They live by a beach. We played on the beach with their dog Briar. My sister and I loved chasing Briar! We went to a cafe for lunch. I lost my tooth there! It was exciting. I lost my second front tooth at the end of the holidays.

Ninja Nine - Blog Post

Hi Mrs Kearns,

On Saturday Ninja Nine had a check up at the Rangiora Vet Clinic. He was weighed and had his vaccinations. Ninja Nine was very brave. He didn't even cry. After, we went to Williams birthday party at Inflatable World. Ninja Nine sat in the car because he was tired.

Then on Sunday we went to Riccarton Mall to do some birthday shopping. Ninja Nine met Gee Gee and Pops.

He had a great weekend. I loved having him to stay at my place.

Sensational Swimming

We've had a bumper swimming season at Belfast School. Room 9 got to go swimming almost every day!!! Our first school trip for the year was to Waimairi Beach where we learnt about how to be safe in the water. We learnt that you had to swim between the flags and how to look out for rips along the coast line. Back at school we all set personal goals to try and improve our swimming skills. We used kick boards and we dive for objects to the bottom of the pool. It was an awesome time!

On Top of the World!

Mrs Kearns had set herself a challenge and Ninja Nine was there to help and encourage her. Mrs Kearns and Ninja Nine visited Aoraki in the weekend. The skies were clear and Aoraki was standing tall and proud. Mrs Kearns went up 2000 steps to the top of the Sealy Tarn. I wonder if you can find our what a tarn is?  It was a very long way to go and Ninja Nine kept saying, "you can do it!" What do you say to yourself when things get tricky?"  Mrs Kearns felt amazing that she had achieved her goal and she is thinking carefully about what the next challenge she might set for herself!

Room 9 is the best!!

We are a group of awesome Year 3 and 4 children at Belfast School. Our class mascot is Ninja Nine- a black panther. We go to Belfast School which is in Christchurch.
